Kurt, I disagree. Assuming you have the correct ground/common wire on the bulb connected to ground on the bike, what you do – or don’t do – with the third wire is incidental. Fasten it to a ground if you wish, it doesn’t matter. Put a band aid on it, dip it in vodka, etc. etc.. You could even hook up both “hot” wires together, and have them on at the same time, but brighter!

I've been hunting for LED 3-wire lights for quite some time, nobody seems interested in making them. As long as you have that wire end tied off somewhere that it can't come in contact with a ground, you'll be fine. Tape up the end, tie it back securely, and run with two-wire lights. -Kurt PS: There IS a way to make two-wire lights function as three-wire lights, but it involves splicing power diodes into your lines, which takes a bit of doing and some careful component selection and in most cases isn't really worth it, in my opinion.

I am wondering what to do with the third wire on the front signals since the leds come with only two. Also, what is the best way to control the flashing? Can a simple led relay fix the problem, or do I need a regulator? And what about the turn signal indicator between the gauges? Thanks to anyone who can help me in advance. 91 750 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
