Sorry in advance if this should be in the electrical sub-forum.
After reading many, many posts about LED turn indicators and tail light mods, I noticed a lack of electrical work in installing, say, a CBR or cat eye tail light.
I suppose my question is this: (prelude) I want to have an integrated brake light/ tail light/ directional signal, as I like to run saddle bags, and with my rear turn indicators on a license plate bracket they bounce around enough that the incandescents break. It's a pain. (question) If I get an LED combination tail light/ brake light with turn indicators, AND if I put LED's on the front turn indicators, what hoops do I need to jump through as far as putting a diode on the dashboard light, upgrading the relay, installing resistors, etc.?
There are some great guides on the forum (Miles and MaxMidnight did some great ones), but I can't tell if there is a "best practice" for installing LED's, and I can't tell if that's altered by having rear turn signals integrated with the tail light.
As always, input much appreciated. Everything I know how to do to my motorcycle is solely a result of reading this forum.
