I bought 2 sets of these LED Turn Signal Front & Rear, Triumph Rocket 3 R GT turn signals. I am wanting to know if I can just swap these out myself and not have to worry about flashing the ecu after? I can not find where I read it before but there was a set of lights that you had to do something with the computer after installation. can anyone shed any light on this for me please.

When my cobber first bought his 'R' model. we changed the back end look by putting on a tail tidy. Part of that change was a set of aftermarket turn signals.
We were very careful about which colored wires were for which function and labeled them all. When we fitted the left turn signal it wouldnt work!...we tried the original again and it worked so we tried the new one and nothing. So we tried it wired to the right side and it worked!
Frustrated we tried it wired to the left side and nothing!
'Bugger this!..let's go have some lunch and a coffee!'
After lunch we came out and tried it again and it worked!...wtf?....we scratched our heads and carried on.
I dont know if the ecu needed to think this thru or what but we didnt have any trouble after that.

Those are very nice so I put them on my rocket wish list, maybe I'll get them for my birthday this summer.
 
Those look slick and are less likely to catch my leg when walking around the bike. One of my rear blinkers is practically falling off already.

Does anyone have a picture of these mounted and showing how bright they are at night?
 
I have these as standard, front and rear. you want folk to see you properly and these are barely enough, at least for me. I do like the look of these....

I've watched some of your videos, very informative. As far as the blinkers go I believe more lights, especially like you see on those ADV bikes, only lulls us into a false sense of security and we start believing that others actually see us more than they might. I will eventually minimize my turn signals after I buy the panniers and have already removed those ugly and useless side reflectors.

I have the paniers ordered. Thats one of the reasons im going to these smaller signals. They are very bright. Ill post pics once all is said and done. Waiting on those bas is a pain.
