Which diodes

[clegg]

I searched and found threads on this subject but not the diode info.

I have changed my signals to LED and changed to an electronic flasher. That is all functioning fine except for the crossover voltage from the single turn indicator bulb at the instrument panel.

Is there a specific diode and or p/n to wire to each side of the instrument panel bulb? I was looking and there are different types of diodes.

What I posted here was wrong.

Standard diodes capable of handling the wattage of the instrument cluster bulb. Not much.
Doesn't have to be an LED bulb as the current does not go through the other bulbs.

This kit works. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/flashers-load-resistors/metric-bike-diode-kit/1190/2805/
Edit: Sorry, that one's out of stock. Googling for metric bike led diode kits brought up this one too:

Probably more online.

If he has an older bike with only one instrument panel turn indicator that will not work. On those the indicator power shares ground through the other side. OP needs to verify that for sure, he seems to be saying it with the mention of 'crossover' and 'single' bulb.

A 12 volt 5 watt diode will work fine, need 2 of them. Thinking that incandescent bulb is usually 3 watt or so.

Actually no diodes necessary. One electronic 2 prong flasher and it flashes my LED combo tail brake signal and the front incandescent blinkers.

That's exactly what the diode kit is for. It requires a new ground.

I'm used to getting the parts local for much less than that kit with any shipping. Typically a couple bucks.
