Harley Sportster LED turnsignal fix (correct)

[@benh5749]

Not only do i love your demeanor but you were very thorough and explained it well enough a child should be able to follow along. Much respect and appreciation from MI!

[@martysorenson7495]

Exactly the fix I needed!!! First time Harley owner….cancelled my TSM order from Harley ….bought led resisters…. IM GOLDEN!! Thank you sir…

[@burlymugg]

was dealing with this BS for days. Resistors didnt work, Badlander equalizer didn't work. THIS WORKED, and worked well. Self cancelling doesn't function but i can live with that. The biggest help of this was you pointing out not to wire them in line with the rear lights, but to follow the harness back before it splits to front/rear. I owe you a beer.

[@Roger_That_Scott]

Happy to help! 👍

[@Longtoesjameison]

I gave up on trying to figure out my one turn signal staying solid, randomly got this is my recommended thank you

[@mofbro]

It worked ! After hours of frustration and failure trying to retrofit FXR with LED lights and ballast resistors I followed your video and it worked perfectly !

[@TrentSchuler-tt2qp]

Any recommendation on flasher relays? Dealing with this rn on my sportster

This was probably the best KZbin video I've ever seen. You made it so simple man. Thank you!

The wire nut comment had me cracking up. Great video, thanks for the detailed information! Fixed my “solid” turn signal issue

[@DanWeber-s8r]

If anyone is going to make a video is is how you do it!! No bs, straight to the point and actually worked. Thank you for this video helped me out 100%

[@brycet6866]

Thank you for the video. Simple and easy to follow. I did this mod for my 2004 VRSC and it’s good to go. The relays were a pain to figure out a location, due to the limited space on the vrod. I ended up taking the relay cases apart, and encasing the actual , much smaller relay, in rubber cement. Works perfectly. Thanks again!

[@Roger_That_Scott]

Good idea! Glad it worked

[@alexanderharris1980]

Works on Dyna also Since you were the only one that could explain it correctly

No kidding, good to know! What year is your dyna?

Dude, you are the freaking man. I’ve been busting my head for over a month with a 2000 Sportster 883 XLH. 100% solved! I only had to do it with the left blinker. Ordered it from amazon but it wasn’t the same brand. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the video bro.

I have a 1976 Sportster ironhead 1000. I can't find any mechanics in WV who knows jack shit about them or they just aren't talking to me because I am a noob. The bike came with no turn signals and I was stuck. I am not a mechanic nor an electrician.This video is not the same bike as mine but your method is perfect. Thank you for saving me a ton of headache. You have made a fan of me sir. Thank you

[@tojo21441]

I did this today! Got the 2 orange LED relays off Amazon, all works perfectly, the only downside is that I've now lost the hazards, but I've only ever used them once , thank you so much for this video

[@Roger_That_Scott]

That is an unfortunate side effect. Haven’t found an answer to it as of yet. But the end result (in my opinion) is worth the easy cost vs. what Harley wants to charge for their conversion kits. Lol

[@Chris-mk3nh]

Whenever I turn on the left or right blinker the hazards come on is there any fix for that?

[@mikerodriguez3627]

U ARE THE MAN!!!!! Ordered on Amazon installed and worked like a charm!!!!!

[@rahstack9679]

I was stuck all day today on my bike. Good video, thanks. I'll get back to work on it tomorrow.

[@danielbluck3418]

It's as simple as a relay to slow down the hyper flashing. When folks say that the lights stay on constant, what they don't realize is that the light is actually flashing, its just flashing so fast that you cant even see it. The relay will slow down the blinking. But thank you for your video, I am the type of person that learns from others mistakes, and I have learned a few things from your video, I will take that info and store it in my mind forever as if I learned from failing myself. :) Since 2017 they have came up with even newer relays that allow for you to adjust the speed of the flasher, I love technology! Thanks brother!

[@MrJquondude]

Clear and sassy. I put a relay from a Kawasaki that i had laying around and it did the same thing, blink but as soon as I rev solid light. Great vid exact vid i needed and fixed.

[@ztmoody1]

Best video I have seen about this answered every question I had gotta wire mine up in the next few days took all the questioning out of it for me thanks

Relocated and installed leds on my 93 Sporty. Works and looks great.

[@Rkcommuter]

Thanks for this, used this for my 95 XL. recently did a rear running/turn signal conversion with led’s but wouldn’t blink. Wired these directly to my tsm as you stated and all worked well, but in my case I had to put incandescents back up front because when led’s(1157’s) were on, only front right would stay on as a running light. When incandescents were put back in infront both front running lights worked.

[@rhorton5336]

Love this guy wish all videos where this direct !!!!!!!!!

[@EdwardSobek]

Thank you Scott! Worked like a charm. Finished the setup on my wife's 2000 Sportster. Same tail light as the one in your video, but I replaced the old bullets with new led bullets. Required tapping into the running light wire on the tail light harness to get running lights working on the new bullets. Soldered the wires and everything is working perfect. Fun project.

[@cruize2001]

Thanks so much for this detailed and to-the-point tutorial. I just installed LED front signals and they happen to work just fine. But now my rear turn signals just stay on constant when I hit the turn button. Hopefully this is the fix. Thanks!

[@ericsmith59]

Nice job, well done. Now we need one for the FL's. FL TSM is under the rear fender so mounting the relays under the fender the only option..😮 Might try splicing into the purple and brown on the way up to the front...

This worked well for me. Thanks for the info. BUT, I actually installed the same tail light on my Harley.

[@Отделаналитикииорганизациирабо]

Thank you very much for this video. I want to ask for one problem with electricity. In my sportster 2009 1200N, there are 3 in 1 system rear lights (running lights, turn and stop) and it have only 3 wire. I want to put 3 in 1 LED indicators, but there are 4 wire (running lights, stop signal, turn and ground). How can I connect them? As I understand it, brake light and turn signal work on the same wire and that's the problem. We need to find a way to separate these signals for connection work. Thank’s!

[@_.Dave._]

The only thing I'd do different is not use solder. If you use a Western Union / Nasa splice and cover with a marine grade shrink wrap. The marine grade stuff is thick and coated with an adhesive the seals the wire. The good thin about not using the solder is the wire remains flexible and relieves stress on the wire. Great tutorial

[@jhunesgarage1039]

Very good explanation man keep it up!!!

So you no longer have running light out of your from turn signals? I would want to solve the issue for both front and rear while keep the lights fully functional.

[@twohuck]

Thanks for the video, love the wire nut comment.

[@jessecintron7117]

Now with your tip was useful thank you so much i appreciate

[@johnfreemanraposo]

My signals (same as yours) stay solid and cause the front stock signals to stay solid as well. So would using the relays replace the need for using resisters? And I’ve been looking on Amazon for the relays you mention and haven’t been able to find them for some reason. I have a 94 Sportster 883.

[@MrMoodyquan]

Thanks a lot Scott, I did exactly what you said and showed in the video and it works great. I finally have turn signals again. I’m not sure if this happened to you or not but My hazard lights are really low when they are activated.Oh well I don’t need them. Rock on!

Excellent video very helpful. Question for you, I know its an old video, so I get it if I don't get a response. Just bought a sporster with the front blinkers deleted & wiring removed, also having the same no flash issue in the back. Bought some replacements for the front and I'm thinking about splicing/wiring them into the rear turn signal wiring harness, as it's a little bit easier than digging into the harness or splicing out of the module. Is this a bad call & will lead to issues? Or will I be ok if I do it this way?

[@mashaisbaltodano3914]

Very helpful thank you great video.

[@keithsummers4935]

“This is a dumb fucking idea” I love it hahaha

[@briansmith2827]

Thank you for the video. Very clear and helpful. I did on my 96 sportster with new front LED's. The left blinker works fine without any relay. The right intermittently works. Sometimes solid, sometimes blinks. I'm on my 3rd relay. This one is orange with an adjuster screw. It seemed great, but an hour into a ride, it started to blink quick and varied a bit. I'm scratching my head and about to try a resistor instead of the relay. I couldnt tell if it was a speed related issue or heat maybe. Or lower voltage after riding a while and low engine RPM. I can't isolate why its acting weird. If you have any insight, it would be appreciated.

[@Stefanosman1978]

Thanks alot 🧨 Worked fine for me 💪🏻

[@norcal8718]

[@ASelbo]

I fitted LED strips at the rear end and LED’s integrated in the mirrors at front with load resistors for one and each of the four lights. I was told that load resistors did the trick, but the only result was a slightly lighter wallet. Pissed me off somewhat, but now I’ve got something new to try out. So just these two solid state relays, no load resistors, right?

[@Roger_That_Scott]

That's correct!

[@ASelbo]

Received the solid state relays two days ago. Today I split the wiring, connected the relays and the LED’s are now blinking. Thank you for the video.
