How do I install LED turn signals/brake light/etc on my 1980 GS750

Hey thanks for the help everyone. I got the electronic flasher all done and the rest of it. Selling the bike tomorrow. it didn't last a day on craigslist. I'm going to miss it. It was a good bike but I'm back into a new one now. I didn't have any problems in six years with it. Hopefully it treats the new owner just as well.

Did you replace the flasher? If so what did you use?

Nothing to design, all the work has been done for you. :encouragement:

I have the chrome version on my bike. Got them at Auto Zone for less than $10.

After reading this thread I'm going to stick with the stock lights. But.... I do like this license plate frame. It looks like an effective way to add visibility to the bike. Is it a straight forward install? Does it play nice with the stock turn signals? Thank you.

not really. Diodes are better and, even better, you can nowadays get tiny leds with the same sockets (is it T10? I'd have to check-it's been awhile since i fiddled...) that run straight from 12volts (ebay) and . I have the whole dash lit with them on a couple of bikes. They are really cheap because some of them don't agree with the 'CanBus" of modern car computers so they're dumping them.

I was planning to replace my turn signal bulbs with LEDs with built in resistors. Any downside?
