I still can't put my hands on working LED turn signals for the 2018 X400i.
Haven't ever heard back from any of the overseas parts dealers.
So, I think I've come up with a workaround, but I don't know a thing about electrical, electronics, or how that stuff actually works! Beside flipping a switch or connecting power, if it comes on, it works, and if it doesn't it's broke.
I went to the Kymco USA parts site, and the housings they sell are just as empty as the ones on my bike, but here's the idea:
I ran across a set of pre-wired 3mm or 5mm LED lights, in lots of 20 on Amazon. They look like this:
As I understand it, they have a resistor already in them. Not entirely sure what the specs of it are, though.
My thought is to get a couple of sets of these (there are 20 empty holes in each housing for an LED to go into. Why couldn't I insert an LED into each hole, wire all the wiring together, put a plug on the end of the thing, and just plug it into the harness?
Or, if there's no place to plug it into, splice it into the existing wiring for the turn signals?
My problem is, I don't know how the electricals work. Do I wire each light up to the same lead that I wire to the existing wiring? Do I hook them in a chain to each other and then hook that lead into the wiring?
I think they're 5mm, but not entirely sure, and won't be until I get the housing off and can physically measure. The housings from Kymco USA are $39 each, and these lights are $6.99 for 20. That's a total cost of $91.98, as opposed to the turn signals from overseas being around $170 each, and I can't get anyone to talk to me about them.
Any electronics experts out there who can talk to me (like I was a 6 year old) and walk me through the best way to do this?
