Hi, I am relatively new to the circuit building world, my education is in civil engineering so not really the same thing... I am trying to figure out a way to wire up lights on my motorcycle.
To sum it up... I am converting my traditional incandescent lights to LED, my hope is to have two sets of LED's for each side of the bike, I want one LED to be on all all times as a running light but then flash when the turn signal is activated, and the other LED to come on only as a turn signal.
Because the LED's only have a (+) and (-) the only way I know how to make it work as both a running light and flasher is with a MOSFET, Basically I connect the running light power to the source, the turn signal power wire off of the flasher relay to the gate, and the drain goes to the (+) on the LED.
This will work fine, however it will flash opposite all my other lights which are only connected to the turn signal wire. I want everything to flash at the same time when I activate my signals.
Anyone have any idea's on how to do this, Ive heard of a logic gate working for this but really don't know anything about it.
