I'm looking online for a variable load flasher relay and was wondering how many pins. I've seen some with 3 or more. Thanks for the info.

Great right up. Just finished the conversion to integrated mirrors and it works great.
Thanks again.

Awesome write up I'll have to try it sometime.

what size diode do you guys used????????

never mind....its right at the beginning, i must off missed it. sorry.

lights are on.
 

i just completed one side and my blinker stays on like a running light.
it will blink (a bit too fast but i can try to fix that.)

surely it doesn't stay on always like a running light???

I believe i followed everything correctly...

any suggestions?

wow I feel silly,
i really just wanted to know what the proper way to hook up 2 wires to 3 wire lights.... i get it now!!!
i want to make my (future)audi lights do the same thing so blindly following payed off!

So ah... You dont want a running light then? You do know that is the whole point of this conversion, right?

here i did the conversion and it worked perfect.

here it is

its easy to do. it cost me $22 for the lights and $2 for the diodes. :)

So now what?
 

I followed the guide with diodes 1N4001 from Radioshack, and it does indeed turn my Hotbodies flushmounts into both running lights and blinkers. But when I use the turn signal, both left and right indicators on the gauge panel flash. When I apply brake, the lights turn off, AND to top it all off, the rear doesn't blink either. In the rear, I have standard bulbs and I do have the hotbodies blinker box, which speeds up the blinkers when brake is pressed. What can I do?

Horn works
 

:42 :icon_crackup:

dude you are the man!

I am in school right now studding electrical engineering and had a blast doing this fix haha!

Just curious, what is the difference in the blue and blue-white-stripe wire? Like what exactly are they for? My flush mount came with two wires which are your normal + and - leads. So I figured that the harness (the two blue wires) would be +12 and ground (since the guy selling said it would fit my bike). When I hooked up the lights this way, they stayed on all the time and would turn off when the blinker was selected. I did see the green ground wire on a separate wire, but at this point I didn't want to cut up any of the wires (on either the bike side or the blinker side) so I got online and found this post!

also, why do you need diodes on the lines? just curious! thanks man!
