Running LED lights & std lights in-line - need resistors or what?

[microwavable]

I have mounted some LED stripes on the bars that go out to the wheels in front...



Kind of like the pic, except I just tapped into the wires for the turn signal for the yellow and the wire for the running light.

My LED strip has both yellow and white LEDs, if the turn signal is on, they are yellow; otherwise, they are just running lights. My fender running light just stays white no matter what, just the spar lights change.

My issue is that the strip lights are LED but the turning light on the bike is incandescent, so I get kind of a funky blinking pattern.

They work, it's just not exactly right. I am assuming I need to add some resistor in-line or something... I am guessing here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Glad they work:thumbup:1/2 problem out of way(majority for most). What did whoever you got leds from say?:dontknow: Some have extra modules, some just don’t like the newer year models.

Normally LED and regular bulbs do not work and you must add a resister. They do make aftermarket resister and you can find them in the LED bulb section at AUTOZONE.
I used SlingMods and LaMonster Garage auxiliary and strip lighting and they makes plug and play systems with additional multi light connectors.

aliexpress didnt have much to say lol

honestly I didnt even think about the led --> incandescent. duh!

the missus who is a former mechanic instantly recognized it but I dont know what resister to use. I will take a short video of the action and post it.

thank you all.
