Installing cheap LED Turn Signals on the Sporty 

Thanks and thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching, hope the install goes well!

Awesome, hope the install goes smoothly 🤙🏽 thanks for watching

How did it go on your Dyna because that's what I am going to put on my 2015 Dyna?

Thanks Chris! I’m trying to improve in every video, hope you enjoy the content.

Thanks for watching!

I don't know about load resistors. LED uses a very tiny amount of voltage right? So is that to keep them from burning out?

@@wanaraz No, the led's use fa power compared to bulbs. The load resistors compensate for that. I couldn't get my blinkers to work without them. Quite a few of the more expensive led conversion kits you can get come with load resistors already.

@@ant4812 I don't know what FA power is but these load resisters compensate for it? It is interesting this guy got his to work and you did not. I guess it's hit or miss. How do you know what load resister to get?

@@wanaraz fa is fuck all.I ain't no electrician so I can't explain how it works any better than that the led's use way less power than the incandescent bulbs do - they generate less load. I guess the blinker control unit can throw a fit if it doesn't detect the right amount of power in the circuit. The load resistors add extra load and kinda fool the blinker control unit into believing nothing's changed and it still has the old bulbs. I think I went & got 10 Watt ones first, but they weren't working for me. Then my electrician mate said "go back & get the biggest ones you can". I got a pair of 25W ones. Those work fine. btw my bike is a year 2000 XLH883. Not sure if it's electricals are identical to the OP's bike.

You’re right, I realized after I had “test” fitted them up (which I filmed) that one was facing the wrong way so I did have to take it off and reposition it so that they were facing the right way. A lil “movie magic” post install. Thanks for watching 👍🏽

Thanks, I have a service manual and also looked up a few other videos. I did my best to clean up the info to put it all into one place. Thanks for watching.

Yeah you could just cut back a few inches in case at some point you wanted to reuse the wiring or resell them.

Thanks for watching. For my bike, which is a 2017, I did not add a resistor. I haven’t had any issues and seems to be running just fine, hope it works out for you if you add some.

@@nooowayyjose amazing mate this is exactly what info i need ! Thanks for the great video 🙏🏽

@@nooowayyjose hey mate i did it & all work well thanks ! Do you have video for rear led installation from same bike or are you still using original turn signal?

@@awedihdaira2786 That’s awesome! I’m still running the stock rear lights, but have been looking for some mini LEDs for the rear end as well. I just haven’t come across some that I actually want.

Hey I’m having this same exact problem currently, did you ever find out why yours were doing that? I have the same pair

@@jonathanolivas5724 I actually return them and picked up a similar pair that I didn't have a issue with. I did have hyper flashing so I did have to get a Load Equalizer but the thing was almost a hundred bucks.

I do think it’s possible, but, there may not be enough “meat” on the threads of the lock nut to catch the nylon. So it may rattle off? Hope that makes sense, thanks for watching.

Hey there, I did get the hyper flash on the speedo, but I will say, the rear still flashes like normal and the front goes from yellow to white and doesn’t go like crazy. I do have a Vance and Hines Fuelpak and I was able to clear the code for the hyper flash. If it really bugs me down the line, I’ll end up ordering the relay which is like 15 bucks and straight forward to install. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

Good question... still cannot figure out what's best. Blinker relay or load equalizer...

@@BrassAmTV Yeah, not too sure, I have a LED headlight from Amazon but that was plug and play with the same wiring harness and didn’t have any issues with that alone. When I added the front blinkers I got the hyperflash, but was able to clear it with the FP3 and have no check engine light issues. I imagine if I had an “older bike” I may have run into an issue right away with the headlight change, and also if I would have also switched the rear lights to LED’s I may also need a equalizer plus relays. So far I’m still running strong without relays and on my stock battery, haven’t lost or reduced power. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm not sure, I dont have a honda rebel 500 but if you have similar bullet style turn signals and the wiring follows the same concept, then yeah maybe? Check out the light manufactures details to see if they are compatible.

Here you go, www.amazon.com/dp/B095LMNDF8?ref_=cm_sw_r_ud_dp_P16P2HDYFZ3334DT6FBH hope the link works.

They’re running great still, just went out on a ride yesterday and bright as ever! Thanks for watching.

A year down and these things are as solid as a rock. I haven’t had a single issue with them, I went out for a rip yesterday and they’re running strong. I would recommend them forsure. Thanks for watching.

They are always on, as running lights, in the color white. When I hit the turn signal switch, they flash between white and orange until they auto shut off or I hit the switch to cancel. Hope that helps, thanks for watching.

@@nooowayyjose exactly, in europe we don't use/like turn signals always on i think is ilegal too.. But i like this model of turn signals, the price is good and they look nice, I wonder if all turn signals of this type are always on?

Thanks for the feedback, I have trying to work on improving the video and audio. I only use a go-pro and edit on an iPad, so it can be a bit tough to get it just right. Again, thanks for watching.

@@nooowayyjose I notice people that record have this little gadget that clips on their shirt. Sound is always perfect. It must be a Bluetooth mic.

@@wanaraz I just got a lavelier mic to help with picking up closer audio and reduce the buzz from the lights!

@@nooowayyjose great. I have no clue about that stuff. Yoir videos are clear and very good at showing and teaching. I wish you success.
