I know this isn't a car, but its still a 12v system so I thought I would ask anyway. I installed new rear turn signals on my honda CBR and they are LED's. Now both front and rear blink 2x as fast. Can I install a resistor and if so what size to help slow it down?

Thanks.

measure the resistance of your old tail light assembly with a multimeter, then measure the resistance of the new tail lights. Find the difference and try a resistor of that value.

I will try that, thanks.
