Installed new led tail light/Turn Signals; LED Strips for front; LED bulbs for indicator lights on dash; Electronic flasher from Sparck Moto.
The rear assembly works as it should. The front led strips work as running lights but when I turn the TS switch on the corresponding switch just turns off. I tried replacing led indicator bulbs with the original incandescent bulbs and it made no difference. However, the front LED strips are very dim with the LED indicators in and very bright with the incandescent in. I have the white orange wire and white blue wire connected to the yellow wires of the LED strips and the black wire to the black wires that were connected to the old Turn Signals. What am I doing wrong. I have searched this and other sites for hours, watched a ton of youtube videos and stared at the wiring diagram. HELP please!

My bike has a separate left and right indicator light, not a single light.

Hey, I am pretty new at this stuff, but I have found that a bad ground can mess things up. Even if the wire looks good it can still have a fault. Check the continuity of the wire or just try jumping a new ground and see if that works. And when you switch to LED turn signals you some times have to add a resistor, i believe.

I really hate it when people post a forum question and never follow up on it!

Hopefully this will help someone else. The blue white and the orange white wires coming from the dash indicator are the turn signals. The black wires going to the turn signals are running lights. The grounds are green wires riveted to the headlight bracket. So you need a 3 wire turn signal. My two wire wouldn't work. I was trying to make the running lights the grounds. Doh!

You don't need any special wiring or anything like that on these bikes. You only need an LED type flasher. No diodes needed.

FYI. If your dash indicator is one light, you need a diode. If you have a separate left and a separate right indicator light, you won't need a diode.
