From clunky series turn signals to fancy LEDs

Often, even the first glance at the standard turn signals awakens the desire to replace them with slimmer and significantly brighterLED turn signals. So it's not surprising that the stylish light dwarfs are right at the top of many bikers' wish lists and also occupy first place in the conversion hit parade.

What began with the so-called "cellar men" has now developed into a well-stocked market and there is a suitableretrofit indicator for almost every type of machine and every taste.

Before the conversion

Before you start the conversion work on your motorcycle, first take a look at the standard turn signals already fitted and how they are attached. As a rule, new turn signals are equipped with an M8 or M10 thread. The old signal heads, on the other hand, use a sturdy click-and-pin mount or something similar. They are mounted in large and often rectangular holes with moulded parts and rubber plates (against vibrations). In most cases, the previous mounting parts cannot be used for the new turn signals due to poor fit. You will also find suitable accessories for your motorcycle turn signal conversion in our TecBike range.

High-quality turn signal adapter cables for motorcycle conversion

Now a look at the cables. Connecting cables are needed so that the turn signals can do their job in the future. They establish a connection between the plugs on the wiring harness and the new turn signals. With a ready-made turn signal adapter cable from the TecBike Online Shop, the conversion is quick and easy.

But be careful: Please do not remove the plugs of the on-board plugs. Because what's gone is gone.

The turn signal adapters have plug parts on both sides: The plug is commonly referred to as the "father", the socket as the "mother". For the most part, they sit in plastic grommets. It is also important that they fit very tightly and securely. Therefore, check the correct fit of the cable ends BEFORE plugging the turn signal plugs together. Simply pull on them a little. If the cable is too loose, a special "connector pliers" can help.

Do not forget flasher relay and resistors!

As important as these two components are, they are often forgotten when buying aftermarket turn signals.

You don't know which flasher relay is installed inyour motorcycle? The vehicle manual will tell you. Alternatively, you can look at the flasher relay on your bike. A distinction is made between types with two or three connectors. The exact designation is printed on the relay housing. In most cases, the existing flasher relay must be replaced with a special model that matches the new flasher.

We also have the right solution for this case. Our TecBike range includes practical sets. In addition to a pair of turn signal adapter cables, they also contain the matching resistors. You will find the exact details in the respective product description.

The thing with the resistors

Let's assume that your standard turn signals on your bike are equipped with 10 watt lamps. Accordingly, the manufacturer installs the appropriate resistors to ensure the correct flashing rhythm. If you switch to LED turn signals, they require significantly less power. If the resistance remains the same, the small signal heads will now flash violently and much too quickly. So you have to install resistors that fit the new turn signals. They are installed per turn signal between the plugs on the turn signal cable and the wiring harness.
