the bike, 2014 honda CB1100.
i took my bike to the Honda dealer and the guys cant figure out how to get led lights to work in the back for my rear turn signals, and tail light. now, that said,
they added resistors all the way around, that didn't work, except for the front.
they now have removed the rear resistors, but still, even with the led bulbs that have the resistor built into the bulb, those ones dont work in the back.
now, when i say dont work, i dont mean hyper-flash. i mean they dont come on at all. standard bulbs come on, but led bulbs dont turn on at all. in the front, without resistors, they just didn't blink. but, at least they turned on. the rear just doesnt turn on. i need some serious help on this guys. this project has been going on now for 18 months.... 300$ later... any help would be appreciated. i was told, by a Harley mechanic i know, to use voltage regulators in the front and back, as well as resistors. any ideas. also, i am color blind so take care when asking me about colors of wires. lol.
oh, and yes, all of the bulbs work. i have a tester i rigged up to check them out. all work, ive even bought 3 different styles of them; 2 without the resistor built in, one with. im out of ideas.
thanks everyone, in advance, for all your help, and even just for reading this post to see if you could help.
merry Christmas everyone.
