    82 Gs1100L signal question

    Are the front turn signals supposed to be on all the time to act as running lights?

    Thanks, Jay

    Are there two filaments in each bulb? can you discern flashing when you activate signal?

      From the factory, no. But a PO might have wired them up to do so. There are threads on this.

      (Or the turn signal circuitry is messed up.)

        Thanks you answered my question. No they are not supposed to be on.

          Whether round or rectangular , front turn signals had two filament bulbs, with the weaker one the running light.
