Default Re: Turn Signal ideas

My solution to the indicators for the speedster. The top of head lamps is fitted with a two section LED, one being for the running/park lamp and the other is an indicator. The lamps on the mudguard/fender are indicators, the rear guards/fenders have the same facing to the rear. the speedster still has a way to go, as can be seen by the photo, before the first road trial.

My front turn signals are in the headlights using the running lights socket in the reflector. You can just see the amber bulb.


In the rear I have these lights with LEDs in them.
I have heard of this before, but do the turn signals show up with the headlights on?
I would be concerned that someone would not see it thinking the headlight was just loose.

If you add 4 independent LED lamps, you'll need an electronic flasher -

12 volt negative ground e-flashers are a lot more common.
