Have 2012 C-5. Bought led bulbs and flasher from LED.Com..
Installed in bike, nothing works.  Bench tested bulbs and flasher they work fine. Put stock bulbs and flasher back in bike and they work great.  I have no electrical knowledge ; any help will be welcomed.    Thanks,  Greg

OMG another LED and turn signal thread. They don't work! Without putting far more work into them than they're worth! You can change every light in the Enfield to LED except the turn signals and the headlight. The LEDs don't have enough resistance to run the flasher.
The turn signal indicator will work though, just not the lights on the stalks!
as you can see from my reaction, this gets hashed over about every 6 months. You can make them work, but why?

Any fix for LEDs in the flashers is going to require some rewiring.  There is a thread that explains it.  Just search for LEDs and you'll get a wiring diagram and instructions.  I didn't bother.  I don't see the point.  I just carry an extra bulb.
