turn signal relay for 1978 kz650b was created by blink543
So my turn signal relay burned out. I've seen on Amazon the same looking type of relay but it was blue and said it's for LEDs. All of them were basically LED relays. Can I use them for incandescent bulbs?

I use a Tridon/Stant 552 2 prong relay on my KZ650. It works perfectly for incandescent bulbs. In fact, It works better than stock because it is electronic. As a result, the blinkers flash at the same rate even if the battery is a little low. It is an exact plug and play replacement that fits perfectly in the same holder as the stock relay and used the same connections. They are not expensive and are available at auto parts stores; I bought mine at Advance Auto. Ed

The LED Relays are better in every way. Just make sure it can handle the current - the relay should have a max (and maybe a minimum) current for operation.
