CxBXR Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I was in the process of installing a undertail on my XX got from pimpbike.com, It come's with LED tail light's & brake light's, & here's the problem My brake light's flash with the blinker, I only have this problem when the blinker's are on obviously, What am I doing wrong ?

Brake light is tied into the signal light somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor Psycho Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Bad ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CxBXR Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Bad ground Would you be refering to a short ? Or a bad ground conductivity to the frame ? All help much appreciated I am still struggling with this demon. **Edit Update this is how I done it (well kind of) I wired the LED turn signal's up just like the factory wire harness except with a load resistor tapped inline per instruction's. I am a little confused because the XX stock brake light has 2 bulb's a upper & lower which one of the 2 do I wire in my LED brake light's & running light's too ? I believe this is where my problem lies. How many LED lamp's be wired to one resistor (I have a AUX turn signal) ? I can only get one LED to work with the resistor is this normal. & do they have to be identical LED's or will the current travel the path of least resistance ? one other thing those resistor's sure get hot are they likely to catch fire ?

How do you have your AUX Turn signals setup? just spliced into signal light line?(one power line going to the back with two lights on it) If you took the stock brake light out, and have replaced it you only need one set of wires from a bulb to go to the new tail lights. I haven't worked with LED's on my XX but I think the reason for the resistor is to slow the blink of your lights as the LED doesn't have much of a load. If you have a aux rear set of signal lights you might not need it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimack Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm with the rest bad earth. I only used 1 feed for the brake lights with my PIMPBIKE undertail, the green/yellow wire. easy fix for the flash rate use this led flash rate same thing is on ebay but at $24.95 and shipping is $21.50, buy from the manufacturer its $19.95 and $7.00 shipping. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CxBXR Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thank you for the reply's,I think my issues have now been resolved, I have decided to buy the "plug & play" LED relay that was linked. I have since fixed the ground (loose frame wire) & removed the stupid fire hazard LED resistor's. ( No BS they were so hot I could not touch them without yelling "@#$% that's hot ouch") I will just drive around with fast flashing blinker's for now until I get the new relay in the mail, Thanks again, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
