Yeah you are right, very poor options to add lights.

It's the first thing i asked to my dealer when i bought my bike. 3 month and many calls later, he said me that he cannot add the front lights i want...

@BrianTRice : The "fix" part sound like a definitive solution, it's just a workaround.

OK, i finaly did the video:

You can try at home ;)

How to reproduce
First bug :
If you try to change the turn signal just when the light goes ON (few milisec after the light goes on) => all goes off.

Second bug :
If you try to activate hazard signal just when the light goes OFF (few milisec before the light goes off) => all goes off and is harder to reactivate (you have to reset the turn signal and goes hazard signal off, or key off the bike)

Thanks for the video; I suspect something will come out of this.

One thing to try might be to change out the turn signal flasher (often done to accommodate LED turn signals) and see whether the system behaves better that way. The stock ECIE flasher is kind of cheap-seeming.

Nice video clearly shows the turn signal issue I've had since day one with my 2016 DSR. Again, at least a few people at Zero claimed they'd seen this occasionally but were not able to narrow down the cause. Great detective work there that it is a race condition on the timing of the switching and the lighting.
