Rear Running Lights 7 Years, 6 Months ago  
I've been wondering about my rear turn signals. Do any of yours act as running lights also? I have an '04 and can't figure out why Yammmie would wire the front signals to act as running lights and not the rear? Is it just my bike? Is there a simple way to make the rear signals act as running lights?

Some states like Ca. will not allow amber running lights on the rear. just for info.

Ahhhh Sooooo! Well that explains it. I wonder if Texas has the same law? Seems it would be safer to put more light on the back end.

I have converted my rear turn signals to running light using the Kuryakyn Run-Turn-Brake Controller from PhatPerformanceParts.com. Only $38!

I replaced the colored lens on my bike with clear lenses. However, I still have amber bulbs in the rear turn signals. (Don't tell anyone!) I can't find a red 1156 bulb anywhere. My next step is to replace the 1156 sockets with 1157 sockets so I can put in red 1157 (dual filament) bulbs.

If you make the change and can't find 1156 (single filament) red bulbs for your turn signals locally (I couldn't), I found them at LightLens.com for $4.80 a pair. Now, if I can get them before I get a "fix-it" ticket!

Thanks! Good luck! With my luck they'd be at my house with a SWAT team. LOL<br><br>Post edited by: Zo, at: 2004/12/03 11:21
