Ok, just so those that want to can turn away now, the bike in question is a 2009 Victory Vision Tour Premium. I consider it a
sport
-TOURER
. lol.
I've got two questions. I'm thinking of taking the lights in the trunk (which I converted to turn signals instead of them just being running lights) and replacing them with LEDs so they can be brighter during the day in the sunlight. And I'm thinking about converting the front signal lights to LEDs as well. But I want to keep the bike's brake/turn lights as halogen just for simplicity and not needing resistors, or a flash module, whatever.
(A) Will the difference in brightness look stupid? (and yes I know some of you will think, "A victory vision and he's worried about the LIGHTS making it look stupid?! haha!)
(B) since the bike's lights will remain halogen bulbs, will this be enough resistance to keep the flasher module working correctly or does it require or sense ALL the lights together, not just "one or two"?

I wouldn't worry about the difference or the flash rate.
But I've found that not all LEDs are bright enough to be seen during the day. You gotta buy from a reputable dealer.

Yup, should look fine... if you can find LED's that are bright enough and not too directional.
