Lokar flush mount LEDs
I just put new tailights in my bike, and need some help. I put flush mount LED lights in my bags, by a company named Lokar. They say these will function as run, turn, and brake. Its only a 3 wire setup, and below is the directions, word for word.
GREEN= BRAKE WIRE (TURN SIGNALS CONTROLLED BY TURN SIGNAL SWITCH)
YELLOW=TAILIGHT WIRE (RUNNING LIGHTS)
BLACK=CONNECT TO GOOD CHASSIS GROUND
On my 04 Ultra, according to my service manual, the brake wire is RED/YELLOW
the tailight wire is ORANGE/WHITE
and the left turn signal wire is VIOLET.
I connected the black on the light to the black ground coming out of the bikes harness, the green on the light to the red/yellow out of the bikes harness, and the yellow on the light to the orange/white wire out of the bikes harness. That all worked just as it should. Now, the turn signal wire is where Im lost. According to the directions, I should also connect the violet from the bike to the green on the light (which is also the brake light wire). It will flash when I hit the turn signal, but when I hit the brake as well, it stops flashing. Am I missing something here? Would lack of a load equalizer, cause my problem? Or do I need to do some creative wiring to and from the flasher. I hope you wont tell me that I need diff light, as I have already cut the holes in my bags.......
