Default Would These LEDs Work | 02 883C

Hey guys,

I want to put small LED turn signals on my sporty. Do you think that these would work?
http://www.harrisonspecialties.com/m...ory_Code=MiniB


My questions are:
1) the diameter of the bolt is 3/8". Would that fit? The guy that sells them doesn't know
2) They come with three wires: black, white and red. I know that the black is ground, but how am I suppose to wire this since my turn signals only have two wires?

When I got my new headlight, it had three wires, one of which was an additional running light. I just didn't wire it.

Thanks for your input!

The same ones are cheaper on amazon.com

They should fit no problem.

The third wire will also be for running lights. That would tie into the blue wire in your loom. Just remember you're going to need a load equalizer when you go to LEDs otherwise they will flash rapidly after about three or so flashes like if you had a bulb burned out.

So I just tie the two wires (white and red) onto the one (pink) I have on my bike and the lights will be able to be used as run/turn/brake lights?

I already have a load equalizer from Kuyakyn that is attached to the run/turn/brake module :-)
