Motorcycle Aftermarket Turn Signals
Help wiring motorcycle turn signals?
I’m trying to mount aftermarket from signals to my triumph thunderbird. The current system is a 2 wire system. I noticed that the turn signals that I bought are for a 3 wire system. Can I still use them? If so, do I just connect the running light and signal light to the Positive/signal terminal on the bike, or should I tape off one of the wires on the turn signal?
Thanks!
I figured if I tied the 2 positive wires together it would make the bulb brighter since both filaments would light up… But I guess that’s not true.. or not a good idea?
Those signals use dual filament bulbs (running & turn signal).
Connect the signal’s ground wire to ground.
Test the other 2 wires and only use the one that lights the brightest.
Tape off the remaining wire.
Wiring the 2 filaments together will not make the bulb brighter.
That’s like using the headlight of a car and adding a wax candle – the candle won’t make any difference.
The downside – using the 2 filaments will draw more amps and the flasher relay won’t be able to handle it (the signals won’t blink).
