1989 GL1500 corner globes

Post by Argie »



Hi Everyone: i want to change the standard halogen corner globes into DRL led lights.

- where are located the relays to disconnect the famous GREEN cables to keep them running all the time? are the ones at each side on the bottom ion the frame just above each horn?

- where can i get the LED globes for the conversion? i don't seem to come across them anywhere.

pictures and links would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Argie

Yes I have. And my bike being 1989 has the twin filament odd shaped globe which the article diesnt cover. Also the article doesn’t talk about the relays in my question.
Thank you for your reply anyway

I know you are not in the states, but here is a link to a US site that has the LED bulb so you can see what you need to look for. Even though the bulb (globe for you) has two filaments, only one is used. On my 88, the relay was near the wire harness for the corner lights. If I remember correctly, there was one for each light. It was just above the horn on the sub frame that is in front of the cam belt cover. I have not had that bike for 4 years now. So, I could be wrong and there is only one relay.
