My chinesium indicators packed up the other day due to a wire disconnecting from the light housing,so I fitted these ones instead, much brighter and with thicker wiring. Pictures as follows spot the difference with the Chinese ones :confused1:

Tally, like them. $45 delivered to Oz. Whats involved with fitting resistor?

@grog fitting the resistors is just a case of connecting them into the indicator loom, you may need two for each indicator which just wire up back to back. The other alternative is to fit a relay which does the same job. :cheers:

Grog, it's easier to just swap out the indicator relay for a compatible one. Both my bike have the digital relay & it'll work with the std setup if you want to swap back.

I also spent some time this morning looking at these, I see there's a new version that has DRL at the front & brake lights at the rear as an addition to the waterfall indicators.   So long as they are bright I'd get them, don't want ones you can't see unless you're staring right at them.

Col, show me a link, new version lights and flasher unit you used. 🙏

Looks great, my setup is the same, waterfall leds and led head and taillights.  With indicators I used the led flasher relay, better than load resistors. Been on 2 years, no issues.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Is it the 7 pin relay i need for 14?

Looks like it @grog

This is the one I got in 2019 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-GSX650F-GSX1400-7-Pin-LED-Flasher-Relay-Flasher-Relay-For-LED-Indicator/163942498901?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I believe it's also the starter relay, so I've got the original wrapped up & tucked away under the seat as I don't 100% trust chineseium electrics.

Yes, a 7 pin led flasher relay is required. Mines been 100% ok.
