Super clean! What brand of turn signals are those?

Best regards,

they're from ebay. the listing title is "Chrome Bullet Turn Signal Dual Filament Bulb Running Marker Light Victory Buell" and the seller is ibuy.isell.

they're really nice and being dual filament and 2 wire, i easily hooked them up to the front as running lights with the stock wiring.

So I presume that's what is on the rear also? I like the slimline look, and those may give me a little more clearance I need where my saddle bags wedge up against my stock rear signals.

If you did the rear also, was it a straight hook-up with no special needs?

Thanks!

Actually I got the rears for free second hand and they're only single wire so they're not running lights. I want to buy another set of the two wire dual filament for the rears eventually for some added safety. I assume splicing the running light wire into the stock tail light wiring would be easy.

My front and rear signal housings are the same though so they match cosmetically at least for now.

If you make the rear signals function as running lights - the lenses have to be red. It is illegal to have yellow running lights in the rear. (That is why the stock bike only has yellow running lights/turn signals in front - and only yellow turn signals in back).

(high quality pics) Reply #20 - 01/08/16 at 07:28:10 Dave, It looks like the fleabay listing shows them with red and amber lenses. Would those with the one red and one black wire work as running lights if you ties in the running light to the existing wire going to the rear running light and the other to the existing rear signal wire, or does it need to be a 3 wire?

The number of wires (and color) isn't always a good indication of the light having a dual filament bulb. If the bulb is a dual filament and you have only 2 wires - then the red would be the bright bulb, the black would be the low powered bulb, and the housing is the ground. If the light is a single filament bulb, then the red is the (+) power and the black is the (-) ground.

(high quality pics) Reply #22 - 01/09/16 at 02:27:20 you can also make a single filament light a running light / turn signal, by wiring it to go OFF when the blinker is engaged I used to know how to do that, but it slips my mind these days
