single filament signal to function like a dual filament ?

[chillinfellow]

Have a 78 kz 400, (b1) I had ordered some new turn signals totally spaced out that the existing fronts were a dual filament bulb & socket and had ended up buying single filament ones, would like to try to have them function like a dual ? I know I could use them as turn signals only, but would like the running lights on too if possible? Did some digging and found a few folks that have done the attached diagram/s with single LED ones and wondering if this would work on this bike ? the lights I had bought ARE NOT LED they are a generic single filament socket & bulb, I did also explore looking to change out the socket & bulbs for a dual but could not seem to find anything small enough to fit in the housing, they are a smaller bullet style. Not looking to make this overly complicated, worst case I will buy some other ones if need be, but like the styling of the ones I just bought, which are not available in a dual . Your Input and suggestions / confirmations appreciated.

I am not an electrical engineer, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last month.

That does not make sense...

LED needs some resistance to hook up to 12V, maybe the diode provides that??

But is the voltage difference enough to make it significantly brigher when fed by 2 diodes? Seems unlikely...the effect may be subtle...v if at all..

Maybe someone haas actually done it and can say, but it looks too easy to me.
