LEDS for front Turn Signals won't work By barry (Read 1,913 times)

HI again,
I installed new LED's for my back and front turn signals and just like my old 2008 YY250T front LEDS will not work in front turn signals..
What's up with that. I put in the front LED's in back and they work fine. I put the back in front and there dead. I put the old amber little bulbs in front again and they work fine..again. It's only LEDS that won't work on front turn signals. Why..? Why, I ask you, Why..?

You will need to replace the blinker relay with one for LEDs

[barry]

Thanks so much,
Can I get that at Autozone or ebay, on-line only..? Do you which one I need..?

Thanks everybody,
I'll go to O'reillys right away but why do the back LED turn signals work fine and not the front. Do I need a front LED relay..? BY the way, where does it go..? How do I install it..?

Thanks again....again

Oh damn it,
Here's another LED question. Would white LEDs be better than colored LEDs behind a colored lens..? I wonder If all the colored LED's behind the amber and red lens would be brighter if they were white LED's..? You know what I mean..?

it can also be the polarity of the front sockets is reversed

LEDs use less amps and may flash faster . I put in a red 1157 LED and it looks great but the tag is not as visible . Might try a white LED and compare the diff . White or clear should be brighter behind a colored lens . The 1157 LED screws in like a 1157 bulb no mods required . I will be changing out the running lights and dash lights with LEDs soon

OK,
Just got back from Autozone with a "Novita EP34" 3pin 12v LED Flasher. So where does it go on my YY250T..? Do I need to remove any plastic..? My 3 pins on the new flasher are the squared off kind. They also had a different 3pin but the pins where thinner and pointed.
So kids, now what..? Help...........

Did you bring the old one to compare the ends and see if it would fit without being creative ? Did it have a schematic with it or the blinkers ?

[barry]

No, No and no. I don't know where the flasher is..? I'm going to replace it with the new LED flasher as soon as somebody tells me where it is. If its the wrong one, the guy said I could bring it back. Can anyone tell me how to install it..? Do i need to remove plastic to get to it..? Exactly where is the damn thing..?
Any help would really.......help.

thanks

turn on the blinker and listed for where the clicking comes from . When you say they don't work is it just the leds do not flash and the dash indacator and rear lights flash . Or did all the lights stop flashing ?

"... tag ... "? What dat?

Ok did you get them going? I had this issue to begin with also. Did not really have to replace the Relay at all. Found out that Chiniese QC is not allways that good as they do not always pay attention to polarity on the bulb wires when they install them at they were backwards. I had to change the wires around on mine for the front signals. I would check that out if they still are not working for you.
