I have looked around the forum and they say that putting a resistor in between the light and power somewhere will allow the diodes to draw the proper amount of current for operation. I have replaced my old stock rear turn signals with the low profile LED turn signals and am getting about 9.26 vDC. My ground is the standard black with white stripe. I thought they would be as simple as plug and go but no dice. The turn signal on the gauge cluster does not illuminate either. I can see that there are resistors in my light assembly for each side.  Should I replace the Flasher Relay with one designed for an LED setup?

Superbrightleds.com has led flasher relays, don't know which one fits the gs500 though.

To get your led indicators working properly, you will need a diode splitter, kuraykan (sorry for misspelling) and a universal led flasher can. Or you can make up your own 'Y' piece diode splitter. It's cheap and very simple

No, I don't think you read that on this forum. Any way, find adidasguy's posts on the subject.

Ill look for his posts, but I may have been mistaken with something I read somewhere else, that was similar to this forum. Who knows but thanks I will check him out.

Hey Bird!!

Check out the link. I just did mine and Adidas guy posted a diagram that will help you sort it out. Also here is a pic of my bike with the new led's.

Plus the GS wiring skem...

Thanks, I guess I'm not understanding why I need to split the wiring and add two more diodes. I'm only going to be using the rear tail light LEDs and no front. I read you should do that if your going for all 4 LEDs on your signals. Correct me if I'm not mistaken? I thought an LED flasher rather than a standard flasher would help?

Edit: Just got the flasher relay installed and now the rears blink like hazards... that skem helps, but the wiring diagram seems to be for the front when installing those diodes.

Installed LED flasher relay, speed is fine and rears blink.... just at the same time... Wiring ideas anyone?

Current is going through your dash indicator lamp. Install the diode mod to isolate the two sides.

SOLVED: Thanks guys, with the help of Adidasguy's wiring diagram I was able to get them working after installing the 2 diodes. Flasher relay slowed the blinking to normal. Thanks guys!
