These aggressively styled turn signals continue the supernaked design language to provide a sophisticated and finished look rather than the OEM afterthought. The advanced lens optics and high-output SMD style LED combine to provide an extremely bright turn indicator. Installation is an easy process made even easier thanks to the included TST Kawasaki Signal Plug Converters that enable plug and play wiring, and our instructional videos that take you through the procedure step-by-step.
Want to further customize your Kawasaki Front LED MECH-GTR Turn Signals? Add the optional TST MECH-GTR Running Light Connection Kit and select the color that perfectly suits your Kawasaki Z. The Running Light Kit includes the necessary wiring components that enable the running light function without the need for any special tools. These Kawasaki models do not have a running light in the stock turn signals so additional steps and components are necessary to enable the functionality. Please watch our instructional video to see the methodology.

so far everything I've ordered from you guys has been great quality and fits perfect. Thanks again for such clear, helpful, install tutorials.

[@TSTindustries]

That is great to hear. We put a lot of time, work and pride into our products and videos. It is awesome to see people enjoying them. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@Andres-hv7kg]

Ordered mine on 7/27 and they arrived 7/31. Fast shipping and great quality. They look even better in person! 10/10

[@TSTindustries]

I am so happy to hear that. Thanks for the love and support. Cheers!

I just bought this kit for my z900 because I seen there was a “ How To” video to follow for the exact same bike I have ( not a lot of modifications videos out there for z900s). What took you few minutes took me like an hour. I stripped on the screws trying to get the stock mirror out, but luckily the screw wasn’t needed again. Overall, I’m super happy with the sleek look!!!!!

[@darealpchace]

I purchased these from you guys for my 2020. It’s on my channel. I would love to have that crash cage though!!!

[@solarpanelcleaner]

Just received mine today! Thank you guys for being so fast on shipping and thanks for some beautiful products. I just wish I knew how to do these for the rear. But I did order the tail light also

[@az_pit_viper4270]

Great video, if I may make a suggestion. For those os us in hotter climates I would strongly recommend using heat shrink tubing in place of the electrical tape as during the summer months the adhesive in the electrical tape will start running and create a nightmare of a mess to clean up.

[@ctsvblk]

Use super 33+ tape

[@johnnytan7953]

Any suggestions on where to get power for the running lights on a 2021 ZH2 SE?

[@rayfandiwillim5450]

Hi, are those black and green color a wrapping or paint?

[@Ihatemyselfbutlovemybike]

Mine didn't come with brown wire. Both had a black. I still did the red to black and yellow to black. I hope that's ok

[@loupisano4019]

will these LEDs fit on a Kawasaki Z 650rs

[@Island.Ventures]

Definitely quite different on the 2022 but I was able to figure it out with some changes.

[@TSTindustries]

If someone turns up here with one of those we will be happy to make the latest gen video.

[@golfmanjh]

What did you use the brown/yellow wire or the black one to tap into? Both daytime running lights only have two black wires coming out to the next clip that splits them to brown/yellow and black

[@averysdaddy05]

The insulators on the wires should be a heat shrink, so one wouldn’t have to use electrical tape. Unless they are made that way now, versus when this video was made.

[@onceuponasauce8177]

Will there be an option to buy the same crash bars on the Z900 you’ve gotten in the shop, in the online shop? I would be pretty interested in that!!

[@TSTindustries]

We will not be selling these. That was something that was installed on that bike before we got it in the shop.

[@eltabros]

out of stock~ when will this be available again? Cant wait to purchase one for my z900

[@TSTindustries]

We are working hard on replenishing the stock of these signals. We got into busy season and didn't anticipate the demand for these to be so big so quickly. More are being made as I write. If you go to our website and sign up for the back-in-stock notification we will email you as soon as they are back.

[@perfectionisaprocess9099]

Will they fit the New ZH2?

[@BOYLoX360]

where can i git that crash bar?

[@broderp]

I wish you sold these kits without the connectors on the end, and with a vehicle specific connector and terminals. This way customers can measure the OEM wire length and precut the leads, crimp on OEM style ends for a true OEM looking install. That wire mess drives me nuts..lol

[@az_pit_viper4270]

Same for me. I used to upfit police vehicles and the excess wire would drive me crazy, good thing the eventually started producing plug-and-play harnesses for most of the stuff

[@ryanwinchester3864]

Are you guys working on an updated video for the 2020 model? I just got my TST indicators in and took off the windscreen and the internals are much different than the model shown in this video. Thanks

[@hristuppiteitinu]

Same here, does not appear to fit the 2020

[@hristuppiteitinu]

Actually - this probably works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl6kfqeVoLKbpMk

[@TSTindustries]

What about the new setup makes the signals not work? Is it electrical connections? The physical fit should not be a problem.

[@hristuppiteitinu]

@@TSTindustries I was able to get everything to work successfully for my 2020 z900 ABS using the video linked above.

[@ryanwinchester3864]

TSTindustries The headlight shroud is completely different on the 2020 and gaining access to the wires is very different than previous years.

[@Aidanlorea]

I would love to get one of those led lights for my z900 2021 but the fact the I have to cut wires change my mind do you guys have any updates cables with out cutting cables

[@TSTindustries]

What? Therse are plug and play with your signaling circuit. Please watch the entire video. We can't help it that Kawasaki does not have a running light circuit in their signals. We have an add-on kit that enables the connection of a running light if you choose to do so. In that case you tap in those wires. There is no need for cutting any of your OEM wires.

[@az_pit_viper4270]

Is the gold on the bike painted or is it wrap? Either way I like it.

[@TSTindustries]

It was paint. This bike belonged to a guy who painted professionally

[@AustinSharpless]

I have a 2023 z900 and can’t find the red wire i have to put those red connectors on for the running lights

[@JMarzan74]

I'm looking to install the running light on a 2023 Kawasaki Z900. I watched the video for the 2017 model and saw it was spliced into an already existent running light. The 2023 doesn't have this light any suggestions on what to tap into? Also would it be possible to use the bullet connectors for the auxiliary port used to connect a USB port and if so how?

[@TSTindustries]

There aree several choices for installation. The auxiliary connector you mentioned is one, but it only goes live if your bike is equipped with the auxiliary circuit relay. If you already have something connected there and you know it is live with 12v supplied, then you can connect the blue wire to the positive end of that pair. Typically Kawi uses the female bullet connector shielded in a PVC sheath for the positive. There is a running light circuit within your headlight assembly, and generally Kawasaki uses the same connectors across their models to connect this light into the harness. I think the video I did recently on a N400 will be a good help to you in identifying a possible connection point and wiring to it. Please see this clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5ncZIyIr9Odm7c

[@moosescorner]

@@TSTindustries I'll have to give this a look, i dug into my bike in the COLLLLLD garage yesterday and was like oh no the disassembly is different (albiet easier honestly) and then got to wiring those and was like oh no that's different even! needless to say new turn signals are installed and working minus the running lights till it gets warmer and i can spend more time looking for a tap point haha

[@NoBrainTrashAim]

Will these work the same way on the rear as well?

[@TSTindustries]

The only way to mount them on the rear would be to use the fender mounting area. If you've retained the rear fender then you can definitely mount them. The underside of the fender will look a bit unfinished though. The parts of the signals that are on the inside of the assemble aren't meant to be seen and aren't very cosmetic.

[@Sozin91]

Just a heads up, in your video you say to connect the black wire to yellow and the brown wire to red. But there is no brown wire in the turn signal you sent me. The wire is red, not brown. I was able to figure it out on my own, but just a heads up that you may want to add a correction in the video. Great product and instructions otherwise.

[@tokeituptyler5187]

Just installed today. Feel like they were trolling me with those wire colors lol. Black did NOT go with black 😅

[@johnm.4141]

Are the included O-rings necessary?

[@TSTindustries]

No that is an optional component typically used if your installed signal moves around due to lack of friction from the fairing

[@bikesbullies9985]

100x easier to just take the other bracket out holding the signals themselves, it’s only 4 screws and you can actually get a screwdriver in there without worrying about dropping or stripping anything.

[@TSTindustries]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully it helps others perform this installation with the added ease.

[@anwarz9008]

How can i get

[@TSTindustries]

We are in the process of making more of these lights. At the moment you can follow the link in the description and sign up for email notification when they are back in stock. Unfortunately the demand for these lights was much greater than we anticipated and we ran out. Rest assured that we will get them built and in stock as soon as possible.

[@yarlonmartinez6840]

Is the blue running light illegal?

[@yarlonmartinez6840]

I live in Florida not quite sure if it’s blue blue

[@TSTindustries]

If you find out that you cannot use blue then just get amber or white. We have those colors available in stock.

[@az_pit_viper4270]

Check with your state's department of public safety. They can provide you with a copy of the laws in regards to certain color lights keep it with you just in case.

[@franciscojvillalbac9677]

fit in z800??

[@TSTindustries]

The signal well on the Z800 is the same and the connector is also compatible. We have not had the 800 in the shop for a few years now and they are hard to find around here so I cannot tell for sure if there are no components underneath the shroud that may interfere with the fit. If you are in the USA then you can get a set to try and if it doesn't fit just return it. Mention this conversation in your order to ensure there aren't any restocking fees charged should you return it for no-fit reason. Does that work for you? If they do fit, and you can supply high quality photos we will also refund you the cost of the parts. Let me know if you are interested in that.

[@rayray3866]

TSTindustries 😂😂 we used the FZ/MT09 turn signals. They’re pretty much the same signals. Who knows if you guys even changed anything?

[@TSTindustries]

@@rayray3866 We had to make a new wiring scheme. The geometry of the FZ/MT signals fits well in the Kawi signal wells We actually had a Z125 outfitted this way for a good while now. Same setup as you see in the video we just launched.

[@Swamp-Rides]

TSTindustries seems like great minds think alike then. Didn’t realize you had a Z125 with them on. I saw them when Ray got them for his FZ09 and figured I could make them work for the Z900 so I did. I have piles of Kawasaki OEM signals laying around so I used some OEM connectors that I soldered on after removing the Yamaha connectors. Super clean install without extra wiring. The way I tapped into the running light is a bit different too, I used a splice connector along with a spade connector to where I can easily unplug them if I need to remove my headlight assembly. It’s a great product and love the way it transforms the front of the bike. At least I can still say I had the first Z900 with them. Haha

[@TSTindustries]

We had to make the connection kit universal. Since a lot of the Kawis and Suzukis do not have a running light circuit for the signals we needed a connection kit that could be used across all models. We also needed the connection kit to not require any special tools. I think what we arrived at is pretty good and easy to install even for people who do not do much of their own work. Kudos to you for being a pioneer in getting these signals on other bikes. When I heard about your install I ticked the "sure" box on my list of bike compatibility. At that point the Z900 was on the "maybe" list. I didn't know if there was any junk behind the shroud that holds the signals preventing all of the signal mount from inserting all the way. At this stage we have done the install on Z650, Z900, and are waiting to get the Z400 in house to do the same,

[@johanzh2550]
