Default LED Light connectors

What are the blue and black pieces? The blue looked like it got a little bit hot.

Load equalizer. Probably a resistor with shrink tube over it. They can get hot. They also negate one of the advantages of led lighting, as they keep the amperage draw higher so the TSSM doesn't do the fast flashing. There are better electronic versions available.

Thanks will try to find the electronic ones that will hook up to it.

Talk to the guys at Badlands, the original makers of the Load Equalizer. Replace that ceramic 1994 technology resister that will burn your bike down, with the Load Equalizer III. Ask for Cal or Tyler, great guys to work with : https://www.namzcustomcycleproducts....hting-modules/
