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?

easiest way is trial and error
but black with white is ground just about everywhere on the bike
brown is running or license plate light.
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

I was under the impression that if somehow I messed up the wiring I might burn something out.
It will be ok just using trial and error?

I would guess that black is ground on the new light, and red is stop and yellow is plate and running.

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.

Well, something went wrong. 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.

Yup, turns out it was just a fuse. Everything is up and running. 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
