Lighting Problem after F/E Kit Install

[badassbobthecattlerustler]

Howdy,

Just installed the F/E kit off of Ebay and my only problem is that the turn signal lights don't stay lighted while the bike is on. The turn signals work fine but they don't stay in the "running" mode anymore. I hooked them up the same way as stock. The only thing I didn't put back on was the license plate light. Any suggestions why the turn signals won't stay on in the running mode anymore (the front ones still work the way they should)? Thanks.

That's because the rear ones never did. You did nothing wrong if the rear signals flash when signalling. There is no second filament in the rear bulbs for that option.

:Flash: Thank goodness! I had the same question after installing an LED tail light (1157R) & completing the headlight mod. I could not remember if the rear indicactors were lit all of the time or not. The fronts are, but the rears are not. :thumbup:

LOL...if I had a $1.00 for every person who has posted that "now my rear signals don't stay on", I'd be a rich, RICH man!

All you have to do is ask yourself, how many motor vehicles out there on the road do you see with REAR facing solid amber lights...... (answer is none BTW). :thumbup:
