  • Which filament is which?

    Front turn signal. Which filament is the running light and which is the flasher?

    Not sure of the reasoning, but the larger heavier filimant is the flasher one.
    81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

      That's because the fatter one carries more current which produces more light. Combination I believe of lower resistance and more material to put out light at temp.

      Of course I was going to give the smart arse answer of "the bright one".
