Try running them in parallel with your original incandescent indicators. If they work you'll need to get an electronic flasher unit (or tuck the originals under the duck tail) :)

ussually they flash super quiick... so u need either a set of resistor wired in line, or a new flasher relay.... the flasher relay is abt $50 and plugs straight in..the resistors are a bit different... they need to be run parralel..as Dave says, u can use ur old blinkers as the resistor if u want...

they can be a bugger to get right if ur not clever with electrics (i had a bastard of a time with mine til Plas sorted it out for me)

From bitter experience I can say it's a PITA. If you can buy a flasher for $5 (or $13) it's worth every cent. I spent more than that in potentiometers (variable resistors) trying to get it right and still didn't.

Surely you should realise that ANYTHING you buy from a bike shop is going to be shitloads dearer than the same item at a car shop???
