Step 1: Preparing the tools
Before you start installation, make sure you have the following tools on hand: screwdriver, pliers, soldering iron, soldering and insulating tape.
Step 2: Remove old indicators
Switch off the motorcycle and remove the battery cable. Loosen the screws of the old indicators with a screwdriver and pull the cables off.
Step 3: Install resistors
Connect the new resistors to the cables of the new indicators. Make sure you use the right cables and carefully solder the connections. Isolate the soldering points with insulating tape.
Step 4: attach new indicators
Attach the new turn signals to the same places where the old indicators were located. Pull the screws to ensure that you don't wobble.
Step 5: carry out the function test
Connect the battery cables again and test the new turn signals to ensure that you work properly. Check the flashing frequency and the brightness.
Step 6: Care of the indicators
To extend the lifespan of your flashing lights, clean them regularly with a soft cloth and avoid aggressive cleaning agents. Check the cables for wear.
Question 1: Why do I need resistance to my indicators?
Resistance is necessary to adapt the flashing frequency of the LED indicators to that of the original indicator. Without these, the turn signals can flash too quickly or at all.
Question 2: Are the new indicators weatherproof?
Yes, the new LED blinkers are usually weatherproof and suitable for use under different weather conditions.
