Hotbodies Blinker + Running Light install
ORIGINAL: axsys
could someone explain better how this actually works? i know how to do it, but it seems like the light would just stay on all the time since its constantly getting a +12v from the running lights....... anyone know why the +12v from the turn signal lead makes the light turn off? thanks.

Thats funny, cause you said exactly same thing as i did

i guess its an electrical mystery that no one knows the answer to...

I just bought running light modulators from Watsen design that are made specifically for Honda's. Takes out the guess work and they don't get hot.
Used them on my new Rizoma's.......and the modulators work great.

I believe once you turn the signal on, the relay cuts the power from the running light wire. (my theory anyway)

I have followed all of the wiring diagrams from this page and I still can not get the Hotbodies front LED flush mounts and my Clear Alternatives integrated tail light blinkers to work together!!! I have tried everything and getting more frustrated every minute. I am using resistors on all lights, the resistors I'm using are 20 watt 5 ohms. I see on here that Bradfrd24 mentioned 20-25 watt, 8 ohm resistors, would using those solve my problem?
i want to do the same thing to the turn signal LED's in my passenger footpegs. is there a running light wire in the rear to tap into? i believe the black/brown wire stays on all the time, whether the turn signals are on or not, since it powers the license plate light and taillight. i don't really like the idea of having to run a wire from the front fairing to the passenger footpegs, so if there's another wire somewhere, tell me where it is!
and platinumrider - make sure the diodes aren't backwards. i could be wrong, but i was under the impression that the diodes prevent current from flowing backwards, so if you installed them backwards, that will keep your blinkers from working.

You wire up the resistors to each power wire. You should need 4 resistors if I am reading that right. My question is about the diode is that a in5400 or 1n5400 and could I pick them up at my local radio shack
