Turn Signal Indicator Improvement

[bluestratos]

Well, since after 4 years BRP has not improved the stock indicator I added my own. I used to have a red arrow on the mirror but it did take up precious space so I installed two green hi intensity LED's. The mirror did not need to be opened up and I routed the led wires into the existing wiring sheath by cutting a small slit near the mirror end then pulling the wires out by the connector. I opened the connector up, soldered the LED wires to the existing pins and reassembled the connector. Voila! Plenty bright and a car can see these just as well as it pulls along side. The lights are so bright that I had to use a flash to kill the intensity but the bulb holder I used actually shields my eyes from the direct view so it does not blind me at night.

Nice!

:clap: Nice install -- looks great! Looks very bright and certainly will remind you (and others) of the turn signals are on! :thumbup: I did something similar as the dash lights are hard to see -- I just added amber LED's to the inside of my mirrors -- here's a couple of pics!

Again....congrats on a well executed farkle!! :yes::yes::yes:

Yep, necessity is the mother of invention, lol. Bon travail mes amis. I had the orange strip LEDs on my last bike but they were not bright enough for my liking and never really caught my attention. I really like the look though.

Looks like you moved the stickshift too. But isn't that a little hard to reach?

:agree: I elected to use the amber strip. I had the RED LED's on my 2012 RT Limited and at night they were a little "bright". So I toned it down with these....still can see in the sunlight!
