Nice work sir !

cagednm69 I saw those mirrors at the bike shop when I picked up my front stand adapters and asked about them. So yeah, maybe I might install them this year. Thanks for watching.

@Amaey Paradkar Not necessarily. When you add up the loads between the new LED's and your resistors, they should be somewhat equal to the stock load. Thanks for watching.

My 2 cents, having installed remote starter systems on cars for 4 years we would never use those quick connects unless we absolutely wanted problems. If you live in any place that gets any type of humidity those quick connects will oxidize over time and cause you all sorts of electrical problems. They're also problematic because different wires have different shield thicknesses and they could either cut through the wire itself or not get enough through the shield to make a solid contact. Not to mention, the part that contacts the wire is so thin you could still have problems from road vibrations. And good luck trying to figure out which one is causing the problems. Strip and solder your wires if you want to be 100% certain your connection won't fail. If you don't have the tools, use bullet connectors way better then those crappy quick connects.

That's what I was thinking. No shrink tubing? Any riding in the rain is going to quickly short this out. Why not play it save and shrink tube everything???

thank... best vid of them all on this subject.

For vehicles with a flasher relay, it's MUCH easier to just replace it with an ADJUSTABLE RATE FLASHER. Maintains lower current draw and adjustable rate knob is very nice!

Hey,If I change all of my turn signals with headlight and taillight from stock (filament type) to LED type (obviously they will have less power consumption) but I will have to fit them with resistors (which heat up and cause loss of energy) will it give a good battery backup or battery charge intervals will increase??

yo man you plan to install those led turn signal integrated rear view mirrors?

If the resistor gets hot wouldn't it break off from any glue?

I installed the resistors on my 15 camry in the front and it was a little tricky at first on where to place the resistors so I had to tie them up with plastic wire ties but the wire ties are only touching the wires on the resistor, they are just really hanging and not touching anything at all.

+kruff39 That's a neat trick. It helps you place the resistors exactly where you want them. Thanks for the tip.

Hey there! So I did the same to my cbr250 and its working great! Was that the final resting place for your resistors or did you find a better spot?

***** Yeah that was where I left it and it seems to be working well. The other thing I did was I stuck them together with a drop of superglue to spread the heat between them. I'll put a photo of it on my Facebook page (facebook.com/RealBrownBrady).

Serious question: does it matter if they are blinking fast? Like is there a potential for wiring issues or can it just go faster, now and I don’t need to worry about it?

Do you connect only two resistors for all four led lights?

To clarify, these resistors are NOT "25W of load". That is simply the maximum power rating for those resistors before they burn up (excluding a bit of margin). They are 6 Ohms of load. Across a 12-14V circuit, these draw (R=V/I or V/R=I) 12/0.006=2000mW of current, or 2W. A little more (2.3W) for the ~14V that an alternator can put out. 25W of load would be one very very hot resistor and loaded circuit.

What do you recommend 50w 6 ohms or 50w 8ohms

I used 50w 6ohm on my cars front led turn signal. They have been working great.

Does it matter which wire goes to the turn signal wire? Since the resistors are both red wires?

what happens when your turn sgnals wont work at all now? not even the emergency signals

Its better to use flasher relay for led to replace your stock flasher relay. Cheaper and not getting hot.

Does the resister cool down when you are not turning or using the signals?

Yes. The resistors only start getting warm when the turn signals are turned on.

Hi there what is your bike model

Thanks, this vid really helped me out.

i see diff size resistors , how do you know to use 20 watt, 25 watt, 50 watt resistors.

Top flight Check how many watts your existing light bulb currently has. For example, my stock turn signal bulb was 21 watts, and I replaced it with a 2 watt light bulb. I needed at least another 19 watts. So I bought a 25 watt resistor. It's ok to go a little higher. It's ok to go one step higher, but going too high of a resistance might overload the circuit it is on.

Resistors do not have W, have ohm.

How come you used 25W and not 50W?

Acabo de soñar que a una Moto le llamaban blinking y con esa moto viajaban al pasado como al futuro. También mire lo que hice dos veces lo que estaba haciendo de dos ángulos diferentes. Fue diseñado por un youtuber que desapareció sus cuentas de facebook pero lo acabó de olvidar.

No sabia el significado de Blinking hasta que lo busque en Google al despertar.

use stainless steal cable ties (zip ties) from harbor freight

T-taps are the a really unreliable way install anything

You called that clip a piece of sh*t and it was you who needed a pair of pliars. I hope you apologised to the clip man, that's how the rumours start and 50 years from now people be all like "them clips aint never worked, they a drain on our society"

total bodge job!!

Makes it happen, but lacks knowledge about what's being done. Also those connectors are TERRIBLE! The connection will fail soon.

Don't waste your money on these, go to Auto Zone and get an up dated flasher for your vehicle it's cheaper $15.00, you won't be cutting into your wiring and it's quicker.

Most bikes and new cars don't have replacable flashers for turn signals, they are built in to the current regulator.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
