I have 1983 kz550 and I start converting it to led I changed the headlight to 7” led from Amazon no problem. When I changed to brake/tail and turning signal lights the bikes right turn signal stayed turned on but and hazards work do I need an electrical led flasher relay. Or maybe I need to upgrade to a new voltage regulator or rectifier? Please help..!!

Do I need to add extra grounds to the led lights just like the original. Because I added electric flashers and no turn signal goes off now I unplugged the turn signal indicator because I heard it could be that. But still nothing.

The Problem is, you need a electronic flashers relay and If you have only one turn signal indicator bulb for the L/R signals you need a diode recifier.




Kellermann offers a LED flasher relay that did both functions in one device.

The LED's need a ground like the original bulbs, but not an "extra" ground. Each bulb has a single, dedicated ground wire.

The front bulbs have two power wires each. One for running, and one for turn flashing.
The rear bulbs only have one power wire for turn flashing.
