    You either have the wrong wattage bulbs or the wrong relay.....

    Sounds like it may be both, but the relay is not the stock version...

        Your "quick fix" is to go to Kragen & pick up their light duty electronic relay (not the heavy duty truck one, won't work). It's two pin. Bright yellow & translucent & costs about $4.
        Cable tie it to the original mount & you'll be good...

                Bet thats whats wrong with my 76 750s.. I had a GSR member send me some REALLY nice OEM signals. Hooked em up and they wont flash. Checked all my connections, grounds, etc. They light up, but no flashy. I will have to check out the flasher. The one thats in there is the old OEM big silver beer can looking one. Hooked the old signals up, and it worked fine. Doesnt like the new ones. Thanks for the tip Dan

                        @salt monk... any way you can tell me the manufacture of the "quick fix" relay. I don't have a KRAGEN in my area. I do have an O'Reilly, i think they are the same company.

                                Just so you know, Josh, the "crack of dawn" has been postponed a bit.

                                We have not yet discussed departure time, but probably about 8?

                                    Incase you didn't remember my friend, I work nights. 8 am departure would require us to get up around 630 and for me to wake up cranky. I could just let her sleep but then we'd be late. (she's gonna punch me for that but it was worth it ) 6:30 IS the crack of dawn to us. but we'll be excited to hit the road. This is my favorite trip of the year every year and this one will be even better since Rose is coming too.
