Thanks alleyoop, I guess I'll forget about the front LED turn signals for now. I'll get more for the back ( they worked fine in the back once you got the cockeyed bastard in there but totally dead in front). Right now i got running lights ( T-10 LEDs) and LED break lights. What colors do you have for your dash..? Are those T-10's too..?

Oh, you guys, Remember also that turn signals only have 1 ( one) contact point. There's no Hi beam or brighter brake light so no duel filament,( two contact points like on a head light bulb or the stop lights). Turn signals only have one contact point. So I don't think polarity has anything to do with it. There's no hot and ground, only on and off, right..?

Well boys and girls, I want to thank everyone for helping me. So I don't want you to take this the wrong. After all were all backyard mechanics. Today was fun. A learning experience. It's the LED lights themselves that's part of the problem. The pins on the lights aren't 180* apart like the sockets are, one slot directly across but on the other side of the socket. These bulbs are more like 145*. If you cut the bulb in half, both pins would be on the same side. Only one pin can go into a slot. The other side is off by 1/4" therefore both pins will go in at the same time. So no push and twist, more like cram and jam then twist and shout. I broke one....I felt happy. I thinking of braking the other one. I went back the standard amber bulbs and they continue to work fine, dull but fine. I followed a link on this board to get my LED'S, oh also a suggestion was made to change my flasher to a LED flasher. So I did. The picture shown here was a square relay with 3 pronged 12v LED push and play. I noticed mine is a sealed round unit, nothing written on it with 2 wire's that's connected to a standard white plug 6" away. Anyway I'm trying to save power for my new 12v 50w headlights. Kind of thin, long and pointed with a blue tip. Like a car headlight bulb. More of a white light than the standard amber appearing bulbs. Really cool but I need to change the other lights to LED's so not to drain the battery. Brake and little running lights work fine so, I need better 12v Amber LED front and rear turn signal lights. Correct pins with a long front amber LED cluster lights that can be easily seen from the side of my scoot. For the back a big rear cluster of LED's would be best for brake lights. Can anyone help..?

Great, I'll do that before I put in the new flasher. Wait, what..? Turn the bulbs around..? So I take them out, turn it so it go 's in with the other side's pin... OK, I think I get it but why would both LED's be out..? Do I have both of them in wrong or backwards..? I don't know, I'll try it tomorrow, Almost bed time now......

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.

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...........

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..?

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

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..? barry

HI Everybody, I want to replace the stranded 25v,25w push and twist headlight bulb to a White LED or something bright and cool that's not the basic amber looking week YY250T lights. Do they make Powerful LED Headlights..? Or is the a conversion kit to a very easy install for a non-mechanical kind of guy. barry
