Turn - Do the rods flash "dim to bright" or "off to bright"?

Thanks.
Mine is setup like this.

Run - rods on dimly
Brake - full brightness
Turn - dim to bright

Run




Brake





I dont have a pic of it in blinking mode, but its dim to bright.

Thanks, I already have the Plasma Rods hooked up using the MPR-BCM for brake/turn. I think I'd like to go full Run/brake/turn.

You are right, had to go out to the garage and double check and the Turn=Dim to Bright.

Good deal, all you need are 2 TFC3's then.

Several guys I ride with liked them so much, they have ordered them also. Can never have to much light on the rear!

Crap,you guys are right I had to check also. Turn is dim to bright. I could have sworn they went dim to bright on the first blink, and off/bright thereafter. Huh.

Ok, I was just about to ask why 14FLHXS's were turn/"dim to bright" and yours and Monty's were turn/"off to bright".

That "unsells" the run/turn/brake for me. I prefer the "off to bright" for the turns. I think it's more attention getting. I'd rather trade that for the running lights.

Check out the below link. If you scroll down about half way and there is a video of a 2010 Roadglide that shows the turns as "off to bright". I realize this just a video so we don't know for sure if that's how it really is.
I'm wondering if hooking up to the rear module at the fender tip makes a difference vs under the seat. It may get it's signal from there.
just a thought

That's exactly what I have as brake/turn , hooked up with the bmc under the seat.

It's using the TFC3's to add RUN as well that gives the dim/bright turns. That i'm going to pass on and leave as is.

It's been said a lot, but thanks for providing this. These are the kinds of posts that make the forum so valuable.
