Sure. Just make sure you're using the correct wires. One will give significantly brighter than the other. I can't remember which is which offhand.

Blue is running light, Black is ground; Green or Brown ("Chocolate") is the signal for that side.

Ignore the blue (running light) wire. Hook up the hot bike wire to the hot LED light wire, and ground to ground.

blensen - You'd get by, just not as well ... :rofl:

Depends on the arrangement. Some LEDs have built-in ballast resistors; some need to be added to slow the blink rate. The other option is to splice in a flasher relay meant for LEDs, but you'll lose the self-cancelling function of the OEM system.
