My uneducated self put 4 led blinkers that are compact on the bike. Installed rears first, they worked but blinked very fast. Installed them in the front and now the blinkers do not blink they just stay on. Was not sure if this affected the tail light being a running light. The brake light works when back brake is pushed. I am not very good at wiring but i switched the bulbs around to troubleshoot the wiring and realized that both bulbs light up when i hit the rear brake, when one should be on an all time as a running light and the other turns on when the rear brake is activated. I hope i didnt fry the relay or whatever for the signals!! I need the running light and some advice on some signals!! Non led should work again right?? Btw for everyone who followedy clutch issues.....the double spring mod is a scam it is the reason my clutch would not engage!! Hahaha bike rides nice. I put rotella 15w-40 and also read up on some oil stabilizers, im looking to improve the shifts. They arent sloppy shifts, but i have to be very posative with the 1-2 shift. I know i need the shift detent kit bit i am not pushing the bike hard at all. Thanks for the advice

   You need to fit resistors to the blinkers when fitting LED replacements. You can also install an LED compatible blinker can on the later model FJ's.
The earlier models have a combined blinker/interlock relay which is difficult to bypass.
