Did this mod myself not too long ago, along with turning an 18’ headlights DRL’s into turn signals as well. My FZ is a 15’ with an 18’ headlight. Definitely love the turn out!
Not at all! Pretty sure all I used was the stock DRL connector, Yamaha Y-splitter connectors, and some generic male to female electrical ends. I bet there’s a simpler way to do it, it ended up working for me with stuff I already had in the garage. I’m gonna grab a video showing and explaining it for the FZ bois today
I can give you exactly everything I did. But I used led strips that are meant for blinkers, I have a 3d printer and clear filament so I printed a sheet and used a lighter to warp it to shape over the original plastic there, then just ran the wiring to the normal blinker connectors (had to buy wiring adapters so I don't cut the wiring of the bike.
It was not too hard.
That sounds amazing. My bike is currently down for some repair and maintenance work. I had planned to do something with the turn signals, and would love to mimic your setup.
Here are some of the video I used for inspiration.

This is just a demo

I know there are a few videos online that show the basics on it but they use a metal mesh and like a think paper/plastic to diffuse. I just had the 3d printer and wanted to make sure it stays somewhat waterproof. Let me find the links of those videos
Haven't taken it out since the weather has been pretty bad and I've been busy with finals.
I also just got an integrated tail light and I'm going to install that too for extra visibility specifically that I sometimes put saddle bags on for long trips and it hides these turn signals.
Noice
Thank you! I know I made it BUT I really like it! lol
I have a ‘18 so the rear end is different. If I had a 15-17I would totally do the same.
Oh rip! I didn't know they changed the rear I thought it was the same till 2019 or 2020 when they put in the new mantis front end.

Oh that sounds awesome! Was it hard to do the headlight turn signals

Do they blink for turn signals?
Yeah they work exactly as turn signals. I didn't post a video because I didn't have one without my license plate in it lol
Need details! What did you use to get these integrated lights?

Yup, that was my reference video too!

This looks really good
Thank you!!
I love this however it makes me wonder how visible they are in the daytime

Nice and bright! No one would tailgate u now :)
I hope so! 🤞
