To the street legal guys,

What front turn signals are you running? I'm looking for some non-LED ones so that my turn signals will blink.

Thanks

you can get any light to blink... jsut get the right color bulob or lens in it and get the right flashing relay. the relay is the key part...this is my limited education that i have on electrical work...hope this helps if im wrong someone will tell ya!...

from what i know if you do not have the relay then you will have a light that will stay on till you turn it off... hence why i said to find a light you like and pop a relay in between the switch and the light.

Don't even worry about the right flasher. Just put a sandblock resistor on the light if it is an LED. It will function perfect with any flasher you want. Plenty of places sell them cheap. They make the flasher think it is a normal bulb.

Or simply wire a regular bulb into it. The incadesent buld has enough resistance to make LED's work reguardless the flasher.

I bought some small ones from dans performance parts, should be here soon.

Does anyone have any pictures of how they mounted rear tail lights in the top corner of the rear hoop? I already have 2 LED tail lights, but a buggy doesn't exactly have a "large area" in the back, and I figure the more lights the less the chance of me getting hit in the rear.
