I did not have any issues while installing my LED turn signals, I think the OEM turn signal relais handles the LEDs well.
Either this or my installed LED turns included some electrical resistance. Dunno.
Shortly said - all worked out easily.

Thanks, moppedmanniemie. I will try a set. It can't be too big of a deal to put a resistor in with them. One seller I looked at showed how it was done.
Order one that cost over twice as much. Lol. It was the exact same light as the 24 dollar lite. Even the casting marks were identical. They buy them in mass quantities for just a couple of bucks and Rebox the.
Thanks, ZXAdventure. I figured they'd all be made in China. Clear Alternatives had been highly recommended years ago but they're expensive and I don't know if the Chinese ones are any different at this point. These light s have been manufactured a lot of years now. I imagine they got the fit just right by now and as far as the electronics, it's probably just fine. For the price, I will probably give a cheap set a try.

My main concern is the smoked lenses. I want them to look as close to black as possible on my black bike. I might order a set of clear ones and Nightshades them. It would be nice to have the lens dark enough already but I have a hunch they will be a medium smoked color so visibility is not impaired much. I'd rather go for a blacked out look even if it's not as safe.

The exterior lens looks to be the same quality as oem. But the back casing is most definitely lesser quality. However it really has no effect. Maybe if you dropped them. I got the rear taillight and it was damaged in shipping. A very minor hiccup, getting a refund, but ultimately not a problem. Dirt cheap. Sooooo - broke into it to take a gander. Not much to them, but then again, it does not require much.
What is this nightshade.
I saw a YouTube sometime back, someone actually coated the inside with a dye or paint. Cannot find that YouTube again. Like you I want it BLACK.
Safety, ha ha ha. They would not see you if you had a neon sign on your back. Spoiler alert soapbox That is all someone has to say. “Sorry, I didn’t see him”. End of discussion, Most likely won’t even get sited. End of soap box.
