Wires from bike for front turn signals
On my 99 f4, the two front flush mount turn signals, have two wires just hanging there. I can't find ,where to plug them into. . Please help me find these wires coming from the bike. As soon as I get those wired, I'm putting bike back together and taking a ride. Thanks
This is the wires from turn signal, where do i put them ?

Hi and welcome! :wave: Did you just get this bike?
OEM turn-signals have 3-wires:
- ground
- running-light power
- winker-light power
Take off bodywork more so you can see all of factory wiring harness. Original turn-signal connectors are blue and orange and may be taped up against harness. They look like this, but are 3-wire versions:
DO NOT hack up harness connectors to connect those turn-signals!!! You'll cause more problems that'll take years and thousands of $$$ to fix! Continuously blowing fuses and not-starting. Hyper-flashing, rear-signals not working, etc.
1. Instead, chop off flushmount's bullet connectors and attach to mating connectors with 2 diodes so they are plug & play into factory harness: https://www.corsa-technic.com/catego...ategory_id=278
or
2. get adapters, but you'll need to find 3-way adapters with 2-diodes so running-lights AND turn-signals will work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/173004358611
or
3. if factory 3-way connectors have been hacked off. Restore them to OEM condition with 3-way female connectors. Then add 3-way male connectors with 2-diodes to flush-mount signals so both running-light and winker-lights work properly. https://www.corsa-technic.com/catego...ategory_id=278
Really, you'd be better off putting back on OEM turn signals with matching 3-wire connectors so you can just plug them straight into harness. And they'd work right away. Running-lights will stay ON full-time for safety. And lights would blink on & off for turn-signals for safety. Don't risk your life to look "cool" with flushmounts!!!

Diode provides one-way current-flow to create an OR circuit. So when either running/marker line has power OR winker circuit has power, then bulb will light. Wire them up like this to connect 2-wire winker-lights to 3-wire Honda harness. Diodes isolates 2 power-circuits to prevent back-flow of power to other circuit and prevents running/marker lights from lighting up turn-signal indicator on dash. Be sure to measure harness-connector to determine which terminal is ground, running/maker-light and winker-light.

So green ground bullet connects straight to black ground on lights.
You can just get these adapters then. Snip them and insert 2 Diodes with stripe aimed towards lights, join outputs to one wire, solder, heat-shrink and you're done!
