I've installed the aluminum case with the idiot lights on my '95 Sportster.
The problem I ran into that I could not solve is that the signal and high beam are not ground activated.
The signal lights have both wires grounded when the signal is not on and then when you hit the signal switch one of the wires "pulses" positive to make the signal flash. So when I hook up the Veypor case wires the lights on the case are always on and pulse "off" when the signal pulses.
The highbeam switch has power to both wires when the high beam is off and then when you switch the high beams on one of the wires is grounded. So instead of a high beam indicator I have a low beam indicator.
Any ideas on how to make these lights lights on my Harley work like the do in the rest of the motorcycling world? |

| In this case you will need to disconnect the common red wire from the LED and connec the LED in reverse from what you've just tried. |
