The Triumph Turn Signal Diode Kit is designed to address electrical issues related to turn signals on Triumph motorcycles. LED bulbs draw much less current than incandescent bulbs which can cause electrical incompatibilities with the bike’s wiring and trigger erratic flashing behavior.
The diode kit is necessary to make non-LED turn signal indicator lights function with LED turn signal bulbs. Without this diode kit, electric feedback from a non-LED turn signal indicator might cause all four turn signals to flash.
In addition, the diode kit helps to prevent issues such as hyper-flashing or non-functioning turn signals. The diodes act as a load equalizer. This tricks the bike’s electrical system into thinking the original incandescent bulbs are still installed allowing the LED bulbs to function properly.
Rewires the turn indicator light to prevent feedback.
Key Benefits of Triumph Turn Signal Diode Kit:
- Allows the use of LED turn signal bulbs without causing hyper-flashing or all four turn signals flashing simultaneously.
- The diodes act as a one-way valve preventing current from flowing back through the opposite turn signal circuit when one side is activated. This isolates the left and right turn signal circuits eliminating the cross-talk that causes all bulbs to flash.
- Maintains proper operation of the dashboard turn signal indicator light.
- Enables upgrading to brighter and more visible LED turn signals for improved safety, while ensuring correct operation of the turn signal system.
- LED bulbs have a much longer lifespan (up to 50,000 hours) compared to incandescent bulbs, reducing maintenance and replacement costs over time.

Review by Owner –
Pros:
-Allows seamless installation of LED turn signals on Triumph motorcycles without any hyperflashing or erratic blinking issues. The diodes isolate the circuits to prevent electrical incompatibilities.
-Maintains proper operation of the turn signal indicator light on the dashboard when using LED bulbs. Without the diode kit, the indicator may malfunction or require removal.
-Enables upgrading to brighter, more visible LED turn signal bulbs for improved safety and visibility on the road.
-Simple plug-and-play installation, no cutting of wires required. Compatible with various Triumph models.
-Affordable solution compared to purchasing new turn signal assemblies with integrated load resistors.
-LED bulbs have a much longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs, reducing maintenance costs over time.
Cons:
-An additional purchase is required beyond just the LED bulbs themselves, adding to the overall cost of upgrading.
-Some users report having to do additional wiring or modifications for a clean installation on certain Triumph models.
-May not be necessary for all Triumph models, especially newer ones with separate turn signal indicators for front and rear.
-Incorrect installation or using an incompatible diode kit could potentially cause further electrical issues.
