my LED indicator set up

[peejay]

hi peeps
i've looked long and hard at what others have done, here's my version.





GTS indicator switch





front indicators





rear indicators





i've had to cut the angled part of the lug off and re-drill it





at this stage i'm keeping hole drilling/welding to a minimum till i'm really happy with things.

stainless switch brackets.

























easy option for fitting front indicator is to simply drill a whacking great hole in the legshield and hide wires in toolbox, but i didn't want to do that!

stainless 2 piece clamp





lamp bracket mild steel and mattblacked





wires neatly out of the way





having the luxury of a C to C stylee flyscreen i've fitted 2 warning lights but one is ok to comply with MoT





i have the room to fit a spare flasher unit under the L/H panel, near the battery tray





rear rack has additional 6mm bar welded on to protect the led flasher











rear indicators are angled up slightly to be in the following driver's eye line, well that's my theory anyway!

well that's the basics of it, it's had a thorough shake down test on the recent Coast to Coast event and works really well

my special thanks to clubmate Dave "the doctor" Jones for all the specialist bracketry.

any questions just ask and i'll try to answer them but remember i'm not an auto electrian

I actually like that, Ive often wondered about fitting something for fun rather than anything else but the switch is always the big issue for me, like how you've done that though.

One question, how do you cancel the indicators? ie i assume left for left, right for right, but does the button return to central then you push in to cancel or someother way?

hi Donnie, the beauty of the GTS switch is just press in to cancel no matter where it is, no faffing about to return it to centre position

thought it would be, nice one.

I knew GTS's would prove useful for something eventually!



Great work by Doctor Dave again.

forgot to mention the warning light!

this is the first one i fitted:



problem was that when switch was operated the lamp was dim and dimmer! what's the point of a DIM warning light?

so i cut it open to find this:



no wonder it's dim, that green lense is 10mm thick!


i've now fitted a capless red led bulb in the housing







i've sealed the end with opaque plastic to make it waterproof.
