After i downed my bike and ripped off the front blinkers i replaced the front and rear blinkers with aftermarket ones and now they dont blink and not all leds light up on the lights but its all the same LEDS not illuminating WTF is goin on???

Probably need to check your wiring and see if you might a mistake. If not get a hold of the manufacture of the aftermarket parts.

i think somethin got f'd up after the wreck because right after the wreck the rears wouldnt blink after i ripped the front one's off

dont leds need to be grounded?? check the wiing. see if you are getting power

hmmmmm...you probably might have to rewire it

First check your wiring. Make sure you have a good connection on the splice. Also make sure there is any exposed wire that may be grounding out on something. Then I would check the flasher relay. Or maybe a fuse

didnt think about the fuse...you should check that too..

prolly wouldn't light up at all if fuse was out

Check wiring. Also, isnt there a relay that makes the blinker actually blink?

Did you fill your blinker fluid to the line? Cuz if you over fill its bad for it.....

Kevin I was just going to say that... prolly the blinker fluid! gotta be the wiring

You need to run ballast resistors with the LEDs. If you didn't they probably burned out or didn't load the flasher relay enough to flash.

In my experience, changing to LEDs only makes the flasher rate faster until you put a resistor in the line. I changed my running lamps to Amber LED clusters and tied them into the turn signal circuit. I also installed Bikelitez LED flushmounts. The flash rate is faster because I left out the provided resistors. I personally like the faster flash. But in the end even changing to LEDs should still provide enough load to have it flash.
