i bought this LED taillight from ebayt: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Moto...3756.m14.l1318

and now I cant get it wired up at all. the blinkers are going, and the brake light is working, but i cant get light when the brake isnt engaged and the ignition is "on" and anyone help? I've tried all wires to my knowledge, maybe i have a defective unit?

 

bump

anyone? I cant ride at night till I fix this. actually I shouldnt be riding at all without it working 100%

 

i have that same light, but i wont be able to look at my bike untill tonight to give you some help

 

Do you need a taillight initgration unit? I removed a box from my bike to put standard turn signals on that controls all that.

 

I might. See it didnt come with any instructions. but my main problem is that I cant get a steady +12V out of any wire when the ignition is on. It only supplies voltage when the brake is pressed. I'm thinking of running a 12V wire from the headlight. it should still be well within the fuse's capabilities.

 

you dont hve to do all that and no you dont need a intergration box. but i still havent got a chance to look at it though

 

If it helps any, here is the wiring back there:

Green - Ground
Orange - Right Signal
Light Blue - Left Signal
Green/Yellow - Brake
Brown/White - Running Lights

 

I have that same taillight but smoked. Funny thing is when I bought my bike the brake light didn't work and the turns were clipped. When I installed this light (I got instructions and resistors) I had to rewire the front switch all the way back (front lever, to the battery [constantly getting power], to the taillight). Now when I start my bike the headlight doesn't turn on and the amber signals are constant (no red lights, just the amber bulbs). After the bike warms up it goes to how it should be and the headlight and gauges and everything else light up. I think my battery is just needing replaced, which I was thinking before I purchased the bike since it was sluggish starting up.

 

I have the exact same tail light. Came with no instructions as well. I followed the wiring per vwmaniacvr6. No need for integrator unit. Works fine.
