Fix My Hog Answers It is important to remember that your front signals are also running lights. They use an 1157 bulb. One filament of the bulb should always be illuminated. Start by determining what functions are or are not actually functional. Use your test light or multi-meter and test the front signal sockets. You may also need to move on and test your turn signal module and related wiring, including signal wiring going to & from the turn signal switches.

    </strong> I have a 2006 Deuce I bought last year it didn't have front turn signals they come factory installed on the handle bars I got a set of relocated LED signals when I wired them up only the running lights so I took the wire off for the runners and now the signals work they won't work together though?

    1990 Softail Classic, right turn signal started to flash slow and then slower and now has stopped flashing. It is a steady light now. Any ideas?
