Need Help LED Position Bulb Installation

[loud_bird]

I plan to install new position lights(the ones that pop out of the front fairings). Based on the service manual I have these are normally a 5W load. and i only assume it uses PWM for an always on position lights vs blinking indicators in the headlight assembly? Further I plan to use 100 Ohm 50 watt resistors to get closer to the 5W original expectations. and a diode to ensure proper power flow.

I am unsure how to properly treat the brown and black wiring and additionally if i should wire the load resistor before or after the diode. I've attached a crude diagram of my madness.

Okay. The front signal stalks have a running light. Blue wire and blue with red wire one each stalk. Then you have the left and right indicator lights. Those are the green wire and the brown wires. The way you have it on the image you posted you have your directionals wired to the black lead which is a dead short. The black wire in ground/negative.
You don't need extra diodes in line. Your LEDs are already one way and won't operate reverse polarity. If you get an electronic flasher you don't need load resistors.
The original front lights were incandescent with 2 independent filaments. One for running lights and one for directional. So there is no pulse width modulation.
The rear stalks don't have running lights, just directionals.
Most people that convert to LED directional lights in the front just don't use the blue and blue w/red wires.
Hope this helps.

yes this does help! so if i don't use the red and red/blue wires and do use the green and brown does that make my new running lights also act as turn signals?

Yes You wire your left and right LEDs to the Brown and the green, respectively. The black is your negative/ground. If you have a bad flash rate order an electronic flasher relay. The flasher relay is located in the left front fairing near the bottom.
I've never liked the idea of guessing what resistor you need to wire in parallel, to match the incandescent lamp load. Too many places to have a failure when you have a cheap reliable electronic relay available.

everything just got way more confusing. there is no turn signal relay currently.... looks like i have take out all the wiring and figure out wth is going on?

 

[loud_bird]

this was at the front headlight loom. curious if the last guy did this correctly. like why wouldn't it be at the rear. it goes to brown white and brown green.

 

[Motogiro]

Lol! Yeah that's the electronic flasher relay.You're good to go!

 

[loud_bird]

cool thanks for the help! guess i should undo this resistor mess i made :/

 

[loud_bird]

so the wiring looks odd to me. i would assume that i want the blue and red/blue disconnected and have the running and indicators share ground.

I remove your service manual pictures because we had legal issue with Yamaha years ago posting their materials on the forum. I makes it harder for us but we get through it.
I've seen the flasher listed in service manuals as under that pod, but so far, all the US faired versions of the FZ6 have had the flasher originally mounted in the front fairing, left side, low.

No the ground (black wire) is the negative side of each lamp/LED. There should be no black wire attached to any blue, blue w/red, brown or green wires. black is ground return only. You need to remove the black ground/negative from those positive left and right directional feeds and from the blue running light wires.
You need to check your fuses because if those black wires are in fact wired to negative you have blown fuse/s.

 

[loud_bird]

word. ill fix this. no idea what the last guy had going on. there was a mess of wires and resistors i threw away. I checked my fuses, that are under the seat, and they're all operational. i did have dim indicators before hand but i think i can resolve now! I'll post again when all finished ty so much for the help!!
