Re: Sv650 curvy rear led brake light with idicators
Apart from being pretty much invisible I'm pretty sure built in indicators are now illegal.
However a quick search will tell you everything you need to know about resistors for LED indicators.

If you've still got bulbs in the front just try connecting your LED's. There might still be enough draw to stop the quick flashing. If not there's different ways of sorting it - well documented on here. I won't go into the merits of fitting these units as you seem to know the score but are you sure your high level exhaust will interfere with the standard indies? If the exhaust is designed for the SV they usually seem to be OK. |

I placed the wire from led tail light into the indicator plug and led indicator came on but was solid and not flashing

Re: Sv650 curvy rear led brake light with idicators
I'd go for a flasher relay myself rather than resistors. However, I've never fitted LED indicators so one of us is going to have to do a search and my vote is for you to do it . Search on "Flasher Relay" and all will be revealed.
Is the rest of the light unit wired up and functioning (i.e. rear light/brake light)? Is there a spare earth lurking somewhere looking for a home? |

The reason why it stayed on is because you connected it to the numberplate light circuit. You will have to find the positive side of the left and right indicator wires. Try and trace the wires from the indicator up to the small plug which will be around the rear seat somewhere. Once you have it, turn one of the indicators on, disconnect the plug and touch one of the wires from the light unit on the positive pin of the indicator circuit. One of the indicators should come on. Check to see if it's the right indicator and if so you will have to splice into the wire to connect it. Then repeat for the other side. The built in indicators share its earth with the taillight led's that's why there is only one wire for each side.
