Topic: can you use marker lights as signals

[cb650 bobber]

Looking to replace signals found some cool marker lights at local auto parts store...only one wire...wasnt sure if they would work as turn signals or not...

If they have only 1 wire, you could use them as either marker lights, or turn signals, but not both at the same time, unless you bought an aftermarket module that provides this functionality.

would i need a ground wire to or just hook the one wire to turn signal wire.

Single wire lights ground through the point of attachment.  As long as the part that you bolt the signal to is grounded, it will work.

And won't be as bright, unless a higher wattage bulb is used.
