LED turn signal relay question
Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2023 4:40 pm
I saw other people post about this topic, but I wasn’t sure what to make of the answers. Sorry if this is repetitive - I’ve never done anything like this before.
The previous owner of my 2003 VS800 told me the bike’s four turn signals were aftermarket LED’s. He said I’d need an LED-compatible turn signal relay to pass MA inspection, otherwise the signals would flash too fast.
I need an LED-compatible 2-pin turn signal relay, and the part number for the OEM relay is 38610-26E01 - that’s all I know. Amazon seemed to have many compatible ones, but that felt suspiciously simple. Is it really that simple and I’m just overthinking this?
Should the relay be a specific voltage or amperage or anything like? Does it make a difference that both the front and rear turn signals are aftermarket? Is $10 a normal price? Are any recommended?
