Relocating Turn Signals
I know this is a touchy subject here, but here goes. My TA is a Knight Rider Replica. The nose I'm using doesn't allow the stock front turn signal lens. I have some aftermarket non LED turn signals. I've tried wiring them up and the parking lights work as they should and the 4 way flashers work as they should. However when I just turn on the right turn signal it doesn't work. I'm planning on placing these down in the nose next to my fog lights. Any ideas on why the blinker isn't working? Again these are not LED lights.
Thanks guys

Re: Relocating Turn Signals
Check your Grounds.
Personally, I wouldn't run park lamps. You don't need 'em, and you already have side marker lights.
I would conneect the blue wires (turn signals) and leave the brown wires disconnected. If they don't work, you may need a new flasher...

Re: Relocating Turn Signals
Thanks for the reply. The sockets that were attached to it that went into the factory lens works. If I wire it back on the car it works. I've even ran a jumper from the new light to the ground on the battery just to test that. The only thing I haven't tried is cutting the socket off the the other side and attaching the other aftermarket so they match but I don't see how that is going to make a difference.

Re: Relocating Turn Signals
I have the same problem. Works fine with the factory bulb but with LEDs wired in the circuit comes on but won't blink. I wired red and black to the running light two led strips, and yellow and black to turn signal s also two led strips. Running light strips come on work fine, Turn signal strips come on but don't blink.

Re: Relocating Turn Signals
You need a flasher that is compatible with LEDs..
