stumpy Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Ok, these ugly ass stock indicators have to go. What have you guys been doing to change over to LED's. I want to change all four of them. Not interested in the integrated tail light. I've seen the flow type, they're nice, and some small round ones. ...so many options. I need to know if I need to add resistors, new flasher or diodes...backing plates. I want to order everything in one shot and not have to realize I need something else to make it work. Pics of what you have installed would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted December 21, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hi @stumpy - Is this for a first gen FJ, or the newer Tracer/Tracer GT model? Several of us have done the factory Super Tenere LED signal swap on the FJ, but I’m not sure if the signals and/or wiring connectors have changed with the newer models. For the FJ, this thread has a lot of good details all in one location: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted December 21, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted December 21, 2018 I installed some resistors to keep it from fast blinking. Other that that no problem. They have worked fine since 2016 for 50k miles. Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No resistors needed. Absolutely concur. I bought that TST Industries adjustable flasher when I did the LED signal swap. Plug & play to the stock wiring, and it works perfectly.

bugie Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I'm using the Yamaha indicators (Part YMEH07890010). These come with the backing plates and resistors. Unfortunately they also come with bullet connectors instead of the original plugs. You can either buy plugs or just butcher the old indicator wires. NOTE: You should only use 2 of the 4 resistors otherwise your hazard lights won't function correctly (it took me a while to figure that one out). Using 4 resistors will cause the hazard lights to stop functioning after a few flashes. Not my bike ^ My Bike ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 I think I have found the turn signal that I will be using. http://www.hightechspeed.com/products/Proton500/yamaha.html these seem really bright and I like how they are programable. Thanks betoney for showing me the x-arc ones, that’s how I found these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont find this to be a problem as I consider it my responsibility to not turn in front of oncoming vehicles. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

mattemike Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Finished up the install of the Super Tenere LED turn sigs with special attention to this site. The install recommendations were spot on! Certainly glad I did it & really pleased with all your comments re this upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
