Default LED flasher relay for KLX300SM...

Installed an LED flasher relay in preparation for installing front LED lights to operate with the LED rears.




It has two prongs at right angles to each other and plugs right in. This one is less than $9 shipped from Amazon and arrived within 48 hours..I'll post pics when the front flashers are installed.

Those flashers look good from the side. Can you post a video of how they look from the front? Even with some cars, the turn signals are too close to the headlights and are not noticeable at all. Have you found a LED headlight solution yet? I am thinking about putting LED pods under the headlight for more con****uity to those left turning vehicles.

Body mounted turn signals look sleek but they're also going to be less visible to oncoming traffic. Just be mindful of that.

Here a video...


No, I actually think the stock headlight is pretty good... but then I used to ride a Grom.

Thanks. At the angle a car would be at I would think the headlight is going to drown out that little LED. Could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how diligent you are about clearing your turn signal after a turn.

I'm all about being seen, and to appear closer than I am, so I am going with LED turn signals from TST industries and LED running lights / turn signals that wrap around the forks that I will mount as low as possible.

For the rear I am going with the TST industries tailight, but will also run the SkeneDesign Run/Turn/Brake LEDs I removed from a previous bike.

Visibility is always good when living in a city.
I live in a sparsely populated rural area so most of my riding is on 2 lane mountain roads where blinker visibility isn't much of an issue. You won't be disappointed with the TST taillight. It makes for a really clean installation.




I've used their products for years and have always been satisfied with them.
