    Hi, so I bought the same headlight and I noticed it only has a red wire and green wire with connecting prongs. There is not 3 wires like I've seen on other models. Can you show how you get the turn signals to work off only those 2 wires, and I know one is DRL's, so really how does it operate with one wire?

    I’m having an issue on my 2002 vstar 650. I bought new LED turn signals for the rear (they have 3 wires). I connect one wire to ground (black), & the other wire to power for the signals (brown or green). When I connect the new LED lights, the front signal lights go out, the new LED lights stay lit & the turn signals aren’t working at all. If I connect my old original turn signal lights, everything works normal. What should I do ?

I do see the wires though. I’m pretty sure the exhaust gasket needs to be changed. It’s popping while I’m riding. Carbs cheese cleaning maybe?? I’ve never done it before but I’m up for the challenge.

    I have the wiring schematics,..... the right front was wired wrong,... but I stopped there,... I was tired because I couldn't figure out how to get to the rear ones on a 1993 honda vt 500 shadow?
    All the fuse's are good?
    If I turn the key to the left the left turn signal comes on the license plate light and tail light comes on,....but just the head light when the ignition is on.
    And on my 1992 VF 750 C Magna I put the battery in turn the ignition and get nothing,... all of the fuses I find are good so I have no clue there?
