## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is the threaded section. How thick of a material will it go through and still be able to put the locking nut on the back**
A: 1/4 inch or so

**Q: Do these need a led flasher relay?  My regular flasher just goes solid when connected to these.**
A: I put them in my 1968 Chevy Suburban and had no problems. They work great.  I would check your relay??

**Q: Will these work in a 3/8 hole? What is the diameter of the benzel?**
A: Yes it will

**Q: Can this be used for an alternator warning light?**
A: Yes.  It's just a light, so you can wire it to indicate any signal.  The symbol on this one is a battery, so it would be appropriate for this use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Indicator Lights for Pure Steel Motorcycle
*by E***O on August 15, 2023*

Nice update for cheap Chinese LED lights, which were original indicators on 2002 Pure Steel softail for turn signals, neutral, headlight high beam and oil pressure. Better quality wiring, nice and bright in daylight. Worthwhile at just over $50 to redo the original indicator lights, dropped right into 5/16” holes in center console panel. Would not hesitate to use these again on a future project.
