Default Need some help with turn signals
I went to put some LED turn signals on my 07fatboy.When I went to try them they did not work.They did not even light up. I thought the LED's where bad ,But after checking them They work fine.So I them hooked my OEM light's back up all I get is running lights on the front and No turn signals on front or back.I don't know what eles to check the dealer said it could be the turn signal module and there is no way to see if that is bad.At $114.00 and not returnable. I like to see what you guy's think first.

The Bulb housings are not attached to the bike.I was just using them to check the system.They light up as running light just not as turn signals.
