Hey guys.
So I bought new signal lights to replace the stock ones that came on my '81 Yamaha XS400 because the stock ones are horribly ugly. I just bought some cheap knock-off Chinese ones (link is below). Once I installed them, The blinkers come on appropriately, but remain solid and do not blink. I wasn't sure if it's because I needed new relays or if I didn't ground them correctly.
The new blinkers obviously have a positive and negative coming off them, but the wires are green and blue, so was unsure which one was positive and negative, however, whatever way I touched the wires together, the lights turned on. I know that the stock setup has the ground at the nut that screws in the blinkers, but with the new blinkers I just wired them so they turned on, with either the blue or green attached to the positive and negative coming off the wiring harness.
Anyone know whats up?
