MIC----KEY-- MOUSE

Post by Coyote »

On the left is one of the four bulbs that came installed on the cheapo Taiwanese turn signals I bought. 6 volt, 8 watt. I wonder why the didn't blink :? On the right is what it takes to make the flasher unit work 12 volt, 23 watt. Luckily, there was enough room for the larger bulb.

I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Yeah, it's important to have 12V bulbs on a 12V system.......

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........

I had the same issue with the eBay turn signals I bought off eBay. Same solution, too. But i even swapped in the original lenses as well. I like the red lenses on the back better.
