Bike Turn Lights

Step 5 Putting it on the bike

When you attach the wires to the switches, measure out about how far it is from where the switch is to behind the seat. Use multi-purpose ties to stick the wires to the bike.

Cut a hole in the side of the box for the main switch to go in and connect all of the wires as shown on the schematic diagram. Then just attach the box to the back of your bike. I can't exactly tell you where because everyone has a different bike but if you have a basket, put it on the basket; if you have a bag, put it on the bag; and if you don't have either, you can either duct tape it underneath the seat or make a wire holder.

i think this is kool but a small improvements you could make is use a brighter led or a different resistor like a 1/4 watt 680 ohm. also you could add flasher and a tail light in the center to use as a indicator. don't make its as bright but bright enough that they can see. you could also move the switches under the handle bars by the wheel almost the sideways "v". if you do i would use plastic and zip ties. also to make it look better drill a hole in the frame run the wires through the bike and cover the two holes with a small rubber grommet or something to seal the hole from rust and stuff.

Thats cool, thanks.

Is it possible to make the left turn signal red and the right turn signal green? Just for emphasis, because a bike is so small compared to a car or delivery truck.

Yes, you could. Just use green LEDs.
