    I was just wondering is there a relay or some fuse i need to run aftermarket lights? I have some intregrated mirrors with led lights and they dont work.. but if i hook the connection up to a battery they come on so what am i doing wrong here

    I'm no electrician, but it seems to me (as was the case with my integrated tail light on my Katana, and the flush mounts I just did on my R6) that if you just splice and connect into the existing turn signal wires, they should work. They will flash much faster than stock, unless you put a load resistor in the line.

    Hopefully, someone else with better knowledge will chime in.

      What are you hooking them up to? Some more information would be useful.

        Could be a polarity issue. Regular lights ignore polarity but LEDs require that you observe polarity. How do you have them hooked up?
