They weren't on at all, as far as I could see. So I figured they weren't getting power at all.

And yes...those turns signals you bought and the majority of the aftermarket LED turn signals that are made with a large number of tiny LED's don't work all that well in the daylight/sunlight. There is a company that makes some that are DOT approved - and my thought is that if you want to be safe....the other drivers need to see the turn signal and brake light easily.

Did I get blinkers that aren't going to work on my bike? That would be my luck lol. The link for these blinkers isn't for just regular guys to buy, you have to be a dealer I think. Would it be tough to get the parts and install what I need to make mine work? Or should I start saving for some new ones lol?

So I got the part from the LED Thread from the Tech Section:

http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1169825737

and its not even close to fitting. The original plug is one that looks like an L, and the new one is just a normal plug. So that was a bust. Has anybody else tried the Pig Tail method from the BCB DVD before? I plugged the front blinkers into it, that got the front running lights to both turn on (but they don't blink when I flip the hand control). But after a minute or two, something started smoking… Awesome, I know… I started looking for the problem and found this piece (the pic) that was super hot. Like couldn't touch it because it was so hot. Does anybody know what this piece is? I think the smoke was coming from this. I tested to see if I was getting Key Power to the Pig Tail, and I have power going to everything. But the blinkers still won't turn on. Is there a resistor Im missing or something?
