Step 1: Preparation
Before starting the new LED blinker, make sure you have the right tools on hand: a screwdriver, a side cutter and cable connector.
Step 2: Remove old indicators
Switch off the motorcycle and remove the old turn signals by loosening the screws. Make sure not to damage the cables.
Step 3: attach resistance
The LED blinkers need resistance to function correctly. Connect the resistors to the turn signal cables according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 4: Connect new turn signals
Connect the new LED blinkers to the cables that you previously used for the old indicators. Make sure to consider the polarity (plus and minus). Use cable connectors to establish a secure connection.
Step 5: function test
Turn on the motorcycle and test the new turn signals. Check if you flash correctly both left and right.
Step 6: Care of the indicators
To maximize the lifespan of your new LED blinker, clean them regularly with a soft cloth and avoid aggressive cleaning agents.
FAQ 1: Why do I need resistance for LED blinkers?
LED blinkers consume less electricity than conventional turn signals, which can cause the blinkrelais not working properly. Resistance ensure that the current flow is adjusted so that the indicators flash correctly.
FAQ 2: What is the e-test mark?
The e-test mark confirms that the indicators meet European security standards. It is important that you only use products that wear this sign to ensure safety and legality in road traffic.
