    Hi
    A friend of mine( who mistakenly thinks I know about electrics) is having problems fitting LED indicators to his old Kawasaki.
    They're just generic ebay specials which he was told would be a straight swop.
    The two rear ones went on and work ok with the standard front indicators but when you fit the front ones ,all four flash together whether you indicate left or right.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Kev

    Edit = been on youtube it seems I might need to fit diodes to isolate the turn signal indicator which uses the standard bulbs as an earthing route??
     
  3. Most LED lights require resistors / relays for them to work.
