Single LED turn signal does not work.
Went down at the track and broke my front turn signal. I have some old dual led pods and I am using one to replace the turn signal. I have it connected but it doesn't flash. It just stays lit.
What size diode do I need?

If you have LEDs all around, just go to this thread and the ~4th post from the bottom has pics and such for the diode installation for all around LEDs. http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?p=43426 |

It's just one turn signal. I'll give the resistor a try.

 Basically though, since the led draws such little power the stock relay will treat it as an open. Installing a resistor should correct this issue. You can also change the flash rate by adjusting the resistance, so if it starts flashing faster than you like, just use a larger resistor.Oh yeah, if you haven't done it before, just make sure its in parallel. Kind of like in this pic, the top example. http://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/147967..._RESISTORS.jpg |

Installed a 10 OHM 10 AMP resistor and it's flashing now. It's a tad faster than normal but it will get the job done. Thanks again!
