I don't think I could have found a more perfect video for what I was looking for. I love how straight-to-the-point everything is, and the absolute Candor of the comments. Excellent job. I'll be coming back.
Not only do i love your demeanor but you were very thorough and explained it well enough a child should be able to follow along. Much respect and appreciation from MI!
Thank you for the video. Simple and easy to follow. I did this mod for my 2004 VRSC and it’s good to go. The relays were a pain to figure out a location, due to the limited space on the vrod. I ended up taking the relay cases apart, and encasing the actual , much smaller relay, in rubber cement. Works perfectly. Thanks again!
Dude, you are the freaking man. I’ve been busting my head for over a month with a 2000 Sportster 883 XLH. 100% solved! I only had to do it with the left blinker. Ordered it from amazon but it wasn’t the same brand. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the video bro.
Scott, you saved me a lot of headache! Put LED on my wife’s sportster, same issue just turned on, no blink....wtf figured I needed to add a resistor, but watched the video and ordered the orange relays ... all soldered and shrinked ... perfect! Love the adjustability on the relays! $7/each and 20 min of work DONE! Let’s ride!
I have searched and searched and searched for answers to my problem. Even my Haynes manual doesn't answer my issue. But you did. So thank you for that. I'm now subscribing.
This worked perfectly for me!! thanks!!!! My buddy and i were struggling with this for weeks and after watching your video and sending $8, the problem was solved!!!
It's as simple as a relay to slow down the hyper flashing. When folks say that the lights stay on constant, what they don't realize is that the light is actually flashing, its just flashing so fast that you cant even see it. The relay will slow down the blinking. But thank you for your video, I am the type of person that learns from others mistakes, and I have learned a few things from your video, I will take that info and store it in my mind forever as if I learned from failing myself. :) Since 2017 they have came up with even newer relays that allow for you to adjust the speed of the flasher, I love technology! Thanks brother!
Awsum thanks for posting this, worked a treat on my sporty! Cheep Chinese relays off ebay with 3 inches of wire built into the flasher relay, black to lights red to relay box. Cheers from New Zealand
I did this today! Got the 2 orange LED relays off Amazon, all works perfectly, the only downside is that I've now lost the hazards, but I've only ever used them once , thank you so much for this video
That is an unfortunate side effect. Haven’t found an answer to it as of yet. But the end result (in my opinion) is worth the easy cost vs. what Harley wants to charge for their conversion kits. Lol
was dealing with this BS for days. Resistors didnt work, Badlander equalizer didn't work. THIS WORKED, and worked well. Self cancelling doesn't function but i can live with that. The biggest help of this was you pointing out not to wire them in line with the rear lights, but to follow the harness back before it splits to front/rear. I owe you a beer.
It worked ! After hours of frustration and failure trying to retrofit FXR with LED lights and ballast resistors I followed your video and it worked perfectly !
Thanks a ton for this. Had a sportster that had the harness hacked and was having trouble getting blinkers installed and working with what remained. This was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Just got a 99 Sportster a couple of weeks ago, and the previous owner fucked the turn signals up. This video was extremely easy to follow and now my bike is good to go! Thank you very much
Thank you Scott! Worked like a charm. Finished the setup on my wife's 2000 Sportster. Same tail light as the one in your video, but I replaced the old bullets with new led bullets. Required tapping into the running light wire on the tail light harness to get running lights working on the new bullets. Soldered the wires and everything is working perfect. Fun project.
Thank you so much for an awesome video. One of the best I've seen. Will have mine here tomorrow and will be on the road again tomorrow night. Thanks again!
Thanks for this, used this for my 95 XL. recently did a rear running/turn signal conversion with led’s but wouldn’t blink. Wired these directly to my tsm as you stated and all worked well, but in my case I had to put incandescents back up front because when led’s(1157’s) were on, only front right would stay on as a running light. When incandescents were put back in infront both front running lights worked.
Awesome!!! Straight up and forward! That damn beeping in your video had me looking all around my damn garage!! Until I shut the video off and realized it was yours!!! Thanks for the great info I'll update after I get the relays and done!
@@Roger_That_Scott so I followed your instructions to a "T" got the two relays off Amazon installed the 4 blacked out LED bullet style blinkers and they worked like a charm!! this went on a 1999 sportster 1200 as a gift for my youngest son's 22nd birthday!! Along with a very nice rolling tool box! Thanks for the video!
Hey thank you so very much for doing this video it helped me out tremendously I just hooked up the electronic relays like you showed and they’re working perfectly😂
Best video I have seen about this answered every question I had gotta wire mine up in the next few days took all the questioning out of it for me thanks
Clear and sassy. I put a relay from a Kawasaki that i had laying around and it did the same thing, blink but as soon as I rev solid light. Great vid exact vid i needed and fixed.
Like having my buddy in the shop beside me helping me fix it well done video and everything I said to myself like bet he don't mention 2 wires up front for running lights and then not only mention them answer the question I had about em thanks man much appreciated
Thanks so much for this detailed and to-the-point tutorial. I just installed LED front signals and they happen to work just fine. But now my rear turn signals just stay on constant when I hit the turn button. Hopefully this is the fix. Thanks!
Dude you are a best bro thank you so much video was just great been struggling with this for weeks u made my day thanks so much for you taking the time to do it
I have a 1976 Sportster ironhead 1000. I can't find any mechanics in WV who knows jack shit about them or they just aren't talking to me because I am a noob. The bike came with no turn signals and I was stuck. I am not a mechanic nor an electrician.This video is not the same bike as mine but your method is perfect. Thank you for saving me a ton of headache. You have made a fan of me sir. Thank you
Great video! Running into the same exact issue on my dyna after installing an LED tail light, same scenario as yours, all other lights stock. Going to order those same relays. Thanks again!!
Perfect video. Simple and to the point. Ordered my relays on amazon even before the video ended. 16 bucks canadian for two. That's only about a buck seventy five for you americans. Lol.
Thank you for the video. Very clear and helpful. I did on my 96 sportster with new front LED's. The left blinker works fine without any relay. The right intermittently works. Sometimes solid, sometimes blinks. I'm on my 3rd relay. This one is orange with an adjuster screw. It seemed great, but an hour into a ride, it started to blink quick and varied a bit. I'm scratching my head and about to try a resistor instead of the relay. I couldnt tell if it was a speed related issue or heat maybe. Or lower voltage after riding a while and low engine RPM. I can't isolate why its acting weird. If you have any insight, it would be appreciated.
thanks, my question about front LED turn signals came up at the end. I used the same relays for the rear LED taillight and now installing the front LED turn signals.
The only thing I'd do different is not use solder. If you use a Western Union / Nasa splice and cover with a marine grade shrink wrap. The marine grade stuff is thick and coated with an adhesive the seals the wire. The good thin about not using the solder is the wire remains flexible and relieves stress on the wire. Great tutorial
Thanks so much just bought harley front led lights noticed they stay on sometimes and the 4ways on cluster come on even though the blinkers are working sometimes properly but cluster shows 4 ways on gonna try this and see if it fixes it
i am waiting to install turn signals on my 68 sportster and have to run wires to the buttons and lights as well would I need that gray box or can I just use the relays one for each side so my left will be on one relay and right on the other
Nice job, well done. Now we need one for the FL's. FL TSM is under the rear fender so mounting the relays under the fender the only option..😮 Might try splicing into the purple and brown on the way up to the front...
Question is, on the 04 on the security module I have the violet and brown wires labeled in wiring diagram as turn signal feeds, would this be where I put the relays in-line?
Excellent video very helpful. Question for you, I know its an old video, so I get it if I don't get a response. Just bought a sporster with the front blinkers deleted & wiring removed, also having the same no flash issue in the back. Bought some replacements for the front and I'm thinking about splicing/wiring them into the rear turn signal wiring harness, as it's a little bit easier than digging into the harness or splicing out of the module. Is this a bad call & will lead to issues? Or will I be ok if I do it this way?
Please clarify. If I cut the brown wire in half. Connect one end to the L side of the relay and connect the other end to the other cut end of the brown wire?
Hey so great video thanks for the help, do they make a flasher that has a normal harley flash speed ( is 3 flashes per second normal?!) and if so were there ones online without a intermittent double flash?
Hey, I am very new to this, what kind of wire do you buy for the extension and what kind of connector do you use to connect to the relay? is it a spade connector? what size?
Gonna be fitting 4 led blinkers on my 91 sportster soon, will mine have this module setup, ive not looked yet, previous owner removed all 4 blinkers so my first job will be finding the wires
I bought a load equalizer off amazon. The guy that sold me the light said that’s what I needed. I don’t think the one I have was designed for bikes though
I don't think I could have found a more perfect video for what I was looking for. I love how straight-to-the-point everything is, and the absolute Candor of the comments. Excellent job. I'll be coming back.
Not only do i love your demeanor but you were very thorough and explained it well enough a child should be able to follow along. Much respect and appreciation from MI!
I gave up on trying to figure out my one turn signal staying solid, randomly got this is my recommended thank you
Thank you for the video. Simple and easy to follow. I did this mod for my 2004 VRSC and it’s good to go. The relays were a pain to figure out a location, due to the limited space on the vrod. I ended up taking the relay cases apart, and encasing the actual , much smaller relay, in rubber cement. Works perfectly. Thanks again!
Good idea! Glad it worked
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I just ordered the relays and now I’ll have properly working blinkers tomorrow
Mi too
Dude, you are the freaking man. I’ve been busting my head for over a month with a 2000 Sportster 883 XLH. 100% solved! I only had to do it with the left blinker. Ordered it from amazon but it wasn’t the same brand. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the video bro.

Brother, you are a life saver! I’ve seen a dozen videos and yours made way more sense. Thank you!!!
Much thanks for this bud!! Been scratching my head for a week straight after I installed L.E.D.... thanks again!!
Exactly the fix I needed!!! First time Harley owner….cancelled my TSM order from Harley ….bought led resisters…. IM GOLDEN!! Thank you sir…

Whenever I turn on the left or right blinker the hazards come on is there any fix for that?

It worked ! After hours of frustration and failure trying to retrofit FXR with LED lights and ballast resistors I followed your video and it worked perfectly !
Any recommendation on flasher relays? Dealing with this rn on my sportster

Thank you. I followed your instructions and order those relays and now have blinkers on my 95 fat boy .
I have a different model Sportster but followed your advice and solved the problem, thanks for sharing.

If anyone is going to make a video is is how you do it!! No bs, straight to the point and actually worked. Thank you for this video helped me out 100%
The wire nut comment had me cracking up. Great video, thanks for the detailed information! Fixed my “solid” turn signal issue

Thanks a ton! This worked great on my 99 Sportster.
Best video I have seen about this answered every question I had gotta wire mine up in the next few days took all the questioning out of it for me thanks
Just did mine! works perfect......there is an adjustable resistor on it so you can adjust flash rates.
Works on Dyna also Since you were the only one that could explain it correctly
No kidding, good to know! What year is your dyna?
I know this is a 4 year old video, but thanks for the video! Doing LED on my 98 1200s soon and this is a huge help!
