LED H4 problems
Hey guys I have a problem. So I helped a buddy install a similar LED light on his 2006 xl1200r. The one in question is made by headwinds. Install went good and it lit up on low beam and high beam properly. But when we went for a ride I noticed his high beam would flash along with his turn signal when we would be turning. He said both turn signal arrows in his dummy lights would flash. We went back to stock bulb and it worked fine again. Could it had been a bad unit or a problem with bike. Maybe bike Reading bulb out. Checked battery connection and fuse, both were good.
This is the one.

I suspect it's a wiring problem. He may have a bad ground and the electrickery is finding other ways to get to where it wants to go. Check the wiring for the headlamp bulb and also the flashers, to make sure the connections are clean and tight. Does he also have LED flashers and a ballast?

No LED any where else. The headwinds bulb comes with a ballast. We checked all connections and they looked good. We're stumped because as soon as we put the halogen bulb back in everything works back to normal
