Hello.
I recently installed led turn signals both front and rear.
I also purchased a 2 prong naraku led flasher relay.
(I have tried 3 different ones now).
The turn signals do light up, but they stay lit and do not flash like they should.
I have wired them up, the following way:
Battery + to flasher relay +
From middle position on the toggle switch to L on the flasher relay
Then toggle switch right: to front and rear right turn signals.
Toggle switch left : to front and rear left turn signals.
I have tried switching around the + and L on the relay, with same results.
Can anybody tell me what Im doing wrong?
Cheers Mag.

What kind of bike do you have?
You may need some resistors to make them flash. Or something like this:
*Try using led signals on the front and your old signals on the rear.(or vice versa) If that works, then you definitely need resistors to make the all led setup flash. |

Or, is there some way you can power the signals with DC instead of AC? My harness gives the option to do either, but i use dc to power the left hand controls.(headlights, horn and signals) I use the led relay pictured above with 4 led signals and it works for my setup.

Hello  I am using a led flasher relay, in fact I have tried three different ones. Im powering it with dc, should it be ac? |

Even with a led flasher relay its necessary to use resistors?
Damn... Thats why I bought the stupid thing.
Do you know if its possible to install a single resistor right under the relay ( at the L input )
Instead of mounting them seperat at each bulb?

I used heavy dury truck/towing flashers in the past. #552 did the trick for hyperflashing , your results may vary..

If you have a turn signal light(to let you know the indicator is in use), try unplugging that and see if that helps.

The heavy duty 3 terminal flashers with the third terminal to ground uses the ground terminal to power the flash mechanism rater than the turn signal bulbs for a load. They will flash regular bulbs and LED's.
Messing with resistors etc negates the power saving qualities of the LED's and introduces 'complexity'.
AC/DC has nothing to do with it. Just use the key switch ON DC from the battery to power your turn signals.

So I should try a 3 pin relay instead?

The 552 flashers use 2 prongs, they seem to add resistance to led signals , the 3 pro gets are geed too per Frankenmech
