Turn signal is less bright than other.

[Guest]

Hey guys,
I recently installed some new turn signals on my bike and i noticed that the new signal is not as bright as the oem part.
Could it be the quality of the part or could it be more.

I bought them off ebay and they are built the same as the oem parts.

Thanks
Andrew

Plug and play par or did it require soldering?
If soldering maybe you did a bad connection?

Maybe the lenses are different and also maybe the bulbs are cheaper?

Hammer which signals did you buy? I got these:

I couldn't be happier. Cheap, bright, and coupled with an electronic flasher wired straight to the battery they blink faster than oem to be more noticeable and are far brighter as well. Even coming from Hong Kong I received them in 11 days.

This is the flasher unit I use. Terminal B to power, E to ground, and L to the light blue wire that feeds the switch.

this is what i bought on ebay. i did not solder anything. I just plugged it and installed it.
I have an OEM light on the right side and it is much brighter.

The brightness will be largely determined by the bulbs inside. What are they?

HAHA, that was a simple fix.
The OEM bulbs were 23W and the new were an 8W.
