    Have some flushmount front lights, trying to get the wiring correct...i keep switching to find the correct combination of the 3 wires. I either get one side brighter then the other on running lights or turn signals flash too fast...

    Anybody have any input on this, thanks, dave

    There's only so many combos. The blue or orange wires with the white stripe on the bike side are the running light leads, solid colors are turn signal, and green is ground of course. The bike kills the running lights when the turn signals are active.

    Make sure the bulb is installed correctly. Some of those cheap flush mounts can be wonky and allows the bulb to be installed wrong.
