LED replacement

[kromebusa]

Having a small problem, I got an eliminator kit, and I allready have the turn signal integrator(lil black box). Before when i was running OEM lights, no problem. I put the undertail and the LED replacement bulbs on and now when I go over about 5k RPM i lose my rear lights. I put my stock bulbs back in and have no problems. Is there a difference in return on these LED lights? I figured since they were plug in's like the OEM that there would be no difference. Anyone know why this is happening?

LED do not require as much power as a standard bulbs does. i think you need to resist it down to the proper voltage. does your turn signals blink really fast too?

If you figure it out, let me know. My bike had same problem, but it would only go out if I got on gas good. Otherwise, it worked fine. I finally gave up after being harassed about no tail lights and re-installed stock bulbs.

Sorry for the delayed response, Was out of town, Yeah, they blink real fast and abnormal too....I Need to put a resistor after the flasher unit? Any help on this would be great....I cant be the only one with this problem.

Ok, So I went to Pep boys and looked at their LED replacements, They were slightly bigger and you can see in theirs that there is a resistor wired in before the lights. I can't see in the ones that I had, but am assuming they dont have the resistor in them. I bought the LED lights from Pep Boys and put them in. Fixed that problem. But the lights are still a bit dim during the daylight, so i got a pair of OEM red color bulbs, You cant see the red bulbs through my clear lens and are a bit safer during the day.
