If you use them in a motorcyle for a brake light (not a turn signal) do you still need to install the load euqalizer?

Poor brake light performance, they're only very slightly brighter in break-light mode than basic, parking, tail light mode. To me, that's a safety issue. I don't use them, threw them away. Save your money, it's junk. You'd want really BRIGHT(!) LEDs in brakelights b/c they light up a tiny bit faster then incandescents - which just might save your rear end. For taillight, parking lights they are useless except for longevity and electrical consumption - should you forget to turn your parking lights off, and your car doesn't have an auto shut-off.

No, I also put them for my brake lights in my gsxr and they work fine, very bright

This company has poor customer service I would recommend you buy from anouther supplier

Actuall they would work GREAT. That is if your trailer is wired for the brake and turn with the same wire. Some trailers are wired separately for these. You have two intensities with simple three wires to connect. If your trailer is wired separately buy two sets, you can't go wrong. I used these on the sides of my saddlebags on my bike.

They are 12VAC lights, your motorcycle is 12VDC. The LED lights are made for static operation (in a yard light application with no vibrations). You are asking if they would work in a dynamic application (in a motorcycle headlight with constant vibration and bouncing). I am an electrical engineer, and in my professional opinion the bulb will not work properly in your application as it is not built for that. Conversely, they work great in a yard light. You may want to check with a motorcycle or auto website for LED light bulbs. Hope this helps.

You would plug them into your ballast. We have installation instructions we can email you once you have purchased, just let us know when you purchase and we will send them to you.

No module needed... I just wired mine directly in-line with the tour-pak lights, making sure to connect the correct wire for the brake lights. Works fine.

In theory yes, but it would depend heavily on how you wire it. If you string one or two to your tail lamps and then have an additional pair on each side wired in as your brake lamps I think it would do well. These strips do have a somewhat noticeable change in output under increased voltage/amperage but its hard to say if it would be considered enough to qualify as easily noticeable to other drivers under normal conditions. I'd say just get a second pack as a precaution, as they are very easy to wire-up and quite versatile. Just get a roll of quality double-side foam tape or use a hot glue gun, because the OEM strips are weaksauce and about as sticky as dry stamps In theory yes, but it would depend heavily on how you wire it.

hey there ned: i have installed these on everything from buells to kawi concours to a few yamaha zuma scooters. if your bike is running the stock headlight bulbs you can tap the positive wire for same. these grips on high only use approx. 4 amps which is less than 1/3 of a normal healight circuit fuse. i always go to a ground source in the headlight bucket/fairing area but any ground will do. these draw very little amps as mentioned above and normally medium setting works just fine. hope that helps. regards, john lutz/mid atlantic cycle

no i don't, but your lights will not dim. i have ele shift and a winch no change since i installed them

The load draw on these lights is small enough not to cause a problem. I would check with with your local laws because the fender lights may have to be red. Not sure about that.

My brake lights did not work at all. The lights sockets were not making contact with the aluminum part in the fixture. With the new sockets my work now, but if I have any more problems I will just replace the entire back lights.

If you are using them for an exterior light monitored by the computer the answer is most likely not, unless you add a load resistor kit like this one:

Yes, You need to install wirh load resistor if there is flashing faster.Please refer the link below to know what load register is.Jtech 2x 50W 6 Ohm Load Resistors for LED Light Bulbs (Fix Hyper Flash, Error Messsage)RegardsCustomer Service

Personally I wired them to a switch that I mounted on my fairing and I put a fuse on the line. I was going to wire them into my low beams but seeing how bright they were, I only use them when there is no oncoming traffic, I was getting flashed ALOT by other cars. So having the ability to control when they were on and when they were off was a plus.

they are very bright lights for use as side marker lights I would go with a larger and single bulb led for brake lights, seems the small led,s don,t last as long as a single led light. just my opinion

I tested each of mine before I installed the to verify which wire was common and ,brake , tail/light ,backup because of what you mentioned . (no instructions)I also verified existing wiring colors for their function and connected the new lights and had no issues. they work great and are a lot brighter than the originals.

if you have the original front turn signals, then it does not need load resistors. This item does NOT include load resistors.

No, they are not a direct replacement for the stock Harley turn signal, the pair I received only has two wires, so they didn't support the harley running light function, either. Brackets would have to be bought, as well, such as this type - http://www.amazon.com/ISSEC-Relocation-Mounts-Clamps-Harley/dp/B00WMHYHO4/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid;=1432439232&sr;=8-11&keywords;=Fork+mount+for+turn+signals, or brackets fabricated for them. Keep in mind that even with the pre made aftermarket fork brackets, you will have to drill the holes in them a bit bigger for the larger shaft on these lights.
