[SOLVED]

I'm installing Carpy's integrated LED signals/headlight (link below) on my 82 cb750k, and I have an issue with the signals. The signals would light up at full brightness, but would not blink (had this issue with the stock signals too). So, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a new $13 electronic flasher. I tested the OEM signals with the new flasher and they work perfectly now, but when I hooked up the new LEDs, they now barely light up at all, and still don't blink. How can I fix this? I am a huge newbie :'(

The new flasher (link below) is a 2 terminal, 12 volt (same as the old one).

The only difference is the old one says "23Wx2+3 4W (21Wx2+4W)".
The new one, says "1 to 6 x 25w".

No idea if ^^^ those make a difference or what the numbers mean ::)

Any input is greatly appreciated! Maybe the flasher isn't the problem? I have no clue!

EDIT: I should add, that the full LED integrated tail light I got off of ebay works fine with the new flasher. Not sure about with the old flasher, I didn't test it. Hope that helps!

Those flashers work on amperage and heat , led lights dont draw enough current to activate them ,
you have a few options
  • buy an electronic flasher relay made for led lights
  • wire a resistor in with your blinkers
  • run more bulbs in with your blikers
