integrated tail light help
 
just wondering if anyone has a clear alternatives taillight on their bike, i just got my bike and it has one but the blinkers are not hooked up to it, just wondering if anyone can tell me how to wire it up now? Thanks

2 wires coming from the tail light, yellow and blue. one goes to the right signal and one to the left. dnt gotta worry bout ground bc the lights will be grounded through the harness plug for the brake and running light. very simple just hook up a quick connect for the wires and test it out.

these are your running, brake, and ground wires. there are two sets of 3 of these wires. u only need to use one for ur integrated taillight. the turn signal wires are the orange and blue ones. and you dont need to use the white connector on your f4i harness (its a licence plate light), unless your integrated taillight does not supply one.

ok i hooked up the right turn signal wire to the right tail light and it worked just fine but when i hooked up the left to the left taillight and turned the left signal on all four of the blinkers blink. there are only the 2 sets of 3 wires going to the bulbs right?

Actually 2. Each blinker has its own set, and the 3rd set is for the license plate light.

make sure you dont use the green wires (ground) on the turn signals (you dont need them).

if you paid attention, i was not talking about the blinker wires, but the main ones that he needs to connect to the integrated taillight.

I am in a similar situation, a little confused still and want to clear things up.

there is a yellow and blue wire coming out of my tailight. coming from the stock wiring on my bike is 2 sets of wires for the turn signals, 1 set has a green and orange wire, the other set has a green and light blue wire. The green is ground and I dont even hook that up to anything? What do I do with it if im not hooking it up to anything?

so I would hook up the orange wire to either the yellow or blue coming out of my tailight and hook up the light blue wire to either the orange or the blue? By turning my bike and directional on will I be able to test these to make sure they work or do I have to hook up the other wires for the taillight first?
