Grounding ProOne Turnsignals

[shepdog]

Bought a pair of bullet turn signals (turn only, no running light) and there's only one wire sticking out of them...this is what they sent me:

"The turn signals are internally grounded. They do need to be mounted to something that is grounded or you do need to run a ground wire."


My question: is the rear fender already grounded, and the fact I'm mounting these straight on it OK? Or do I have to weld the Honda ground wires to the inside of the fender/trunsignal bolt?

BTW, this is on a '97 shadow 1100 ace...thanks!

If your mounting them to the fender just run a piece of wire from the back of the unit to the subframe using a couple of ring terminals. Or connect the existing ground wires from the wiring harness to the back of the lights on the inside of the fender.

Cool, that's what I figured...thanks! :beatnik:

If you are not attaching them to metal, just run a ground wire from the bolt/nut to ground.
