If I were to get these, I would remove the rear turn signals and purchase clear lenses for my front signals. The same clear lenses are pictured on the rear turn signals in the pic.
The main reason I want to get rid of the rear signal is because they impede use of my saddlebags. I have to wedge the top flap of my bags to have clearance of the lights... it is a really tight fit but do-able.

For that price you'd think the resistors would be integrated into the circuit board.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
I have those for my bike. the taillight lense could be better. The fitting seems to require me to squeeze mine on. I then went for the LED board but that too was a bit of a pain to get in but are pretty bright.
I'm guessing they use stuff from Clear Alternatives since I've seen those at their site. Why don't you try bing.com to see if they have better brands or deals for those lenses and boards.
Head to customdynamics.com for some really nice LEDs for turn signals and brake lights. They usually have better integrated stuff. I know I'm satisfied with what I got from them especially the turn signal lenses along with the LED turn signal circular board for the front.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.
I like them - they look nice and bright and that's the most important thing to me, but I haven't installed them or anything like that - so I'd defer to the posters who have for judgment of the install process.
The stock lights, while a pain in the butt for your saddlebags - at least do make you look wider while they are on.
The resisters might be required only if the drain on the electrical system is too much, so that might be why they aren't part of the integrated circuit board...
Of course, why they couldn't use a potentiometer to control the drain, I don't know.

The resistors are required because the drain on the electrical system is too LOW. The flasher relays require a high current in order to work properly.

Without the resistors they will flash really quickly, as I have learned from my readings...
Maybe that would be better, I think it would draw more attention flashing quicker and brighter...
