DRL / front indicators

Post by Gatecrasha » Sun Aug 16, 2020 9:34 am

Tinkered with my hayabusa previously and discovered that bulb holder for stop n tail lights was same fitting as used for front indicator bulb
This meant I had the 3 connections needed to fit 'switchback' Leds to give a white constant light for drl which switched to yellow repeater for indicator and back to white constant when indicator cancelled.
Ok so my question...
Does anyone know of a stop n tail bulb holder that will fit indicator bulb holder socket ?

Heads up I've resolved this ;)
Checked on GSF car parts and the bulb holder is
BA15s

Switchback kit listed has adaptor to supply indicator function.
Leaving only a single live wire to connect to side lights to come on with angel eyes
Or alternatively connect to live ignition feed do they're always on as per drl lights which the gives option of running drl in the indicators leaving choice of adding angel eyes into the mix at the flick of a switch ;)
