Step 1: required tools and materials
You need the following tool to replace the indicators:
Step 2: Take safety precautions
Before starting work, make sure the motorcycle is switched off and the key has been removed. Wear suitable protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses.
Step 3: Remove old indicators
Open the turn signal brackets and remove the old indicators. Carefully separate the cables to avoid damage. Write down the connection colors for the later installation of the new turn signals.
Step 4: Connect new LED indicators
Connect the new LED indicators to the corresponding cables. Make sure that the colors match. Use insulating tape or shrink hose to secure the connections and avoid short circuits.
Step 5: Install resistance
Install the required resistors in parallel with the LED indicators. These prevent the indicators from flashing too quickly. Attach the resistors to a safe place to the motorcycle and also insulate the connections well.
Step 6: Functional test of the indicators
Turn on the motorcycle and test the new turn signals. Make sure that you flash correctly and the speed of the flashing frequency is normal. If everything works properly, you can close the turn signals again.
