Hi all,I had a quick search here and couldn't really find any help.Maybe I was not searching the right title :-[
Any way can any one help with how to wire the tail light in a diagram or well explained?
I thought black,red and white was for the parkers,brake etc and yellow and blue for the indicators?
I didn't get to the indicators,just did the black,red and white and the brake light is on all the time,does this mean I need resistors or just wired wrong?
Cheers in advance.

I just had another look it is the park light that stays on,when press the brake levers it works but the park light is on all the time.
Also went to start the bike and it would not crank or anything.
Unplug the light and starts no problem.
Hope someone out there can give some advise
Thanks

Don't know what bike you have but on my 796 the plate light is yellow the rear light is yellow also (always on) and the Gray/Red is the brake light.    Black are the common grounds, indicators are as you see on the bike.
The LED bracket I used did not need any resistors so long as the stock indicators were left in place.  You will need a resistor wired between the brake light and the rear light to provide dual intensity.  I don't know how it works but it does.
