Difference between the turn lights??

divingtigger · June 22nd, 2009, 11:07 AM

HI,

I was looking at the 3 turn lights that I have (2 front one rear) and couldn't really tell any difference between them. Can I just but the turn light for any side/location to replace the one that I'm missing or is there a difference that I'm not seeing?

Thanks

are you missing one of your signals? I'm confused about having 3 of them....

according to the parts diagram, there is a difference, though I'm not sure what it would be...

There is a left turn signal circuit and a right one. There is a total of two incandescent bulbs in each circuit to which I'm pretty confident are the same wattage. You can't add or subtract from either circuit without compensating for the load difference. (So if you add a light in a circuit it'd better be an LED light as the load would be too great for that circuit).

As for Kim, I also don't quite get what the question is about?

Sorry. Here is the full background. I bought an insurance bike that had tons of damage. Both front lights were there and look to be in ok condition. The rear right light was there but the left one wasn't. I thought it was opposite until I started putting some of the pieces where it belongs. I picked up a right hand rear light off ebag thinking that was the one that was missing (most of the damage was on the right side).

Can I use the right rear turn light (the one I bought off ebag) as a left turn light? The harness and plugs are still there it seems like it was just the pod that tore off and when it did it pull the spade style connectors off the light.

Thanks

Shouldnt be a problem, just different color wire is all.

I believe that the wires are different lengths, but if its long enough you'll be fine.
