Turn signal indicator: no light no flash

[vs-works]

I searched the forums...but I have a unique setup. I have LED strip lights I custom grafted into my headlight bucket as turn signals. I am using an LED (no-load) flasher. The problem I am having is that I can get my turn signals to flash, or my speedometer turn signal indicator light to flash, but not both.

If nobody knows a solution, could someone let me know a couple things?

1) what is the part code for the indicator lights? I know taillight bulbs and turn signal bulbs have numbers like 1166, 1167.

2) where can I get LED indicator light


Thank you so much you guys!

Your problem is "I can get my turn signals to flash or my speedometer turn signal indicator light to flash or both." ??

Do you mean they do flash or you CAN'T get them to flash?

What terminal numbers are on the flasher relay you are using, and where do you have them hooked up to?

The stock dash warning lights use BA7s bulbs. Also, the three on the bottom, are wired "ass-backwards" so if you use polarity-sensitve bulbs like LEDs, they have to either be special reverse polarity bulbs or you have to use isolated bulbholders and wire them accordingly. I discussed that several years ago here:

The link to SuperBrightLEDs where I got the bulbs I used mentioned in that thread is no longer good, this is the current link:

They also sell Euro-spec flasher relays for LEDs.... the CF13GL-02 - is that like the one you have?

Sorry I typed this on my phone waiting in line...I meant:

As in, only one will flash not the other.

I wish I had waited to order from superbrighleds, because I ordered the BA9's not the BA7's...I guess I can call them early tomorrow and maybe modify my order.

I have a flasher, but I bought another one just to make sure my flasher is not bad.

Thank you so much for all the resources.

I hope ordering the lights from superbrightleds and stardrive will do the trick for me.

FYI - The way that the stock system works, at least with a 49/49a/31 style flasher relay, is that the dash arrow lights up opposite of the outside bulbs. So they flash in/out/in/out, not in tandem. (Unless you rework the wiring away from stock)
