    Flashing brake lights

    https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...Specifications.

    Took 5 mins to install. Pull the trim off that sits above the light panel (not sure that you even need to do that). Remove the two 10mm nuts inside both bags to remove the light panel. Pull the wire harness off and rotate the bulb carrier to the left about 1/4 turn to remove. Running lights are brighter than factory and lights flash 3 times each time the brakes are engaged.

    Nice. How many bulbs did it take?
    I'd rather be on my bike thinking about God than in church thinking about my bike.

    Very nice. Think I'll pick up a pair of those. Should compliment my Hyperlites very nicely.

    Since there is no common flasher, how do the two bulbs flash together in synchronized fashion?

    I'm an electrician myself but I'm going to say it works on FM...the second letter stands for Magic.

    Btw, I have these LEDs myself and they are every bit as advertised. Thanks much, Davidk!

    I had seen this post in the past ad couldn't find it again. Thanks for those who added but I do have a question...

    On the web page they have this

    (LED Light Load Resistor Kit - LED Turn Signal Hyper Flash & Warning Fix
    Option: 50W LED Load Resistor kit)

    https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...g-fix/190/831/

    as a extra addition to the bulbs. Is it necessary to purchase this so the circuit "acts" correctly?
    Regards,

    The circuitry in each bulb is identical. When power is applied the circuit turns on and flashes independently of the other. It just appears they are in sync, which they are, but they ain'tnot.
