New brake light wiring?
07/25/11 at 23:39:27

I have a new brake light. It has day time running lights and a light for the licence plate. I am not sure if the one for the licence plate is the same as the day time running. I am trying to wire the new light to the stock wire so that it plugs in. Sadly, the wires do not match up as I had hoped. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

New brake light wires
-Red
-Yellow
-Black

Old plug wires
-white with black stripes
-black with white stripes
-brown

That would leave white w/black as stop. on your new light, the brighter light is stop HD light normally have the frame as ground

What's to burn up? A light bulb, not much chance of that.

LED? sensitive circuits should be protected, not always the case, but should.
if not, they should've included a wiring diagram.

In the midst of it all, I somehow lost all power to my bike. I don't know anything about the electrical, whether it was a short, or I pulled something loose. One second I was testing the wires, the next second my bike does not have enough power for a neutral light. Now I really need suggestions.

Thanks a bunch. Not sure if this is useful to anyone, but the wiring was: Brown - Yellow White w/ black to red Black w/ white to black
