    I bought two aftermarket dual filament bullet brake lights for my xj650 project. Can I wire them up as brake lights and turn signals? If so. how? I've tried many different wire connections and all I get are tail/brake lights. When I hook up the turn signals all they do is get brighter but no flash. If I hook up the old signals they work fine. What I doing wrong? I'll have one mounted on each side. Please HELP!

    Grab a trailer light converter from a local auto parts store. As long as you're using regular incandescent bulbs and not led's, that should fix your problem right up. It's just a simple cut and splice operation. I'm doing that, but using led's.

    Led's have been known to give people tons of problems. If you don't want a headache, steer clear of them for now.
