Planning to install the evo-tech on my new 796 tomorrow and was wondering since the license plate light in the kit has red and black wires and Ducati uses yellow and black....do I connect black to black and red to yellow? Seems silly but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance for any info.

That should be how it goes.  If you know how to use an Ohm meter, use that.  If not, plug it in and see... if it is LED it wont turn on if you have it wrong, and the draw is so low it shouldn't short anything out.

Black should be ground (in the case of LED's).  If it's not an LED light, then it will work either way

its yellow/red, black/black... just put mine in and i can def say that works...

that being said, the kit is awesome, but the led light is pretty dim.
