[T2] Headlight problems.

[Jamie]

Ah Bob,, I was trying to find out from Syd who said he had to install some 
sort of special electrical component when he did a LED conversion to his 
motorcycle....
in my opinion,,, changing headlights to LED should not affect anything 
.........

and if I haven't said it clear enough.... turn signals do have a relay that 
may, or may not,, be affected by a lamp comversion of the signal lamp,, not 
a headlight..

so.. for the life of me, I don't know why your signals,, brakes,, 4ways, are 
affected by the headlight change... sooooooooooo I am going to sit back and 
learn something about LED.s

No, No,
I thought you said that I needed to install a special relay in order for the 
LED headlights to work properly.
