This is bizarre. I was installing my fender eliminator last night, and the OEM turn signals have these like "tubes" as a part of the wiring harness. Please see the image below. What in the world is this lol? I didn't want to take it apart. The only thing I could think of was that they like soldered resistors in there or something?

No idea what they are for.

I believe they're the resistors to keep from hyperflashing with the LED's

Might also be part of the reason why the OEM signals are so fucking expensive.

That could be it, good point.

Yes tube contains Resistor for each Turn Signal (I have those on R1M too..). They are required as flash controller and current limiter to protect LED. Not sure why European models don't have them (may be inbuilt in SMDs? Highly doubtful..) They are in tube for heat dissipation. Resistors are shown in Signaling Electrical diagram.

Resistors are shown in Signaling Electrical diagram. 99% sure they're just for flash speed control and nothing to do with current limiting for the LEDs. The current limiting will be on-board the PCB inside with the LEDs themselves. Those resistors are way too big for current limiting on 3 LEDs lol. Otherwise the Euro bike would have the resistor tubes too.
