    How would one go about replacing the original turn signals with leds?
    Are they plug and go or do you have to do modifications?

    Definitely not plug and play.

    Turn Signal Flasher Relay:

    NOTE: all XJ700 models and XJ750-X models use a consolidated relay assembly (mounted under and to the rear of the fuel tank, on the wishbone frame triple-tube joint) which combines the turn signal flasher, the turn signal canceller relay unit, and the starter circuit cut-off relay.

    Since the flasher relay portion of the above module is designed to work with 27W bulbs, you would have to modify the harness to add a non load dependent flasher and go further (another relay) if you want to keep the self cancelling feature that is also built into the module. Load resistors are an option, but negates the power savings of the LED bulb. All that and also keeping the original module for the purpose of the Starter Circuit Cutoff Relay.

    how about removing the auto cancel unit and adding a simple RC circuit that charges a cap, discharges via a discharge resistor and triggers the base of a transistor to get the right time delay on the led flasher unit. same principal as the a cabin light delay circuit.
    Open the door, charges the cap and turns the light on, close the door and the light stays on until the cap discharges via the resistor.

    That would be fine, and do you mean by controllers the Computer Monitoring System (CMS)? I don't really need the controllers except maybe to add the bullet connectors to the H4 connector, or if you are also interested in running with LED brake and tail LED that requires a mod to the CMS circuit card. I will send you a PM also.
