Rear tail light wiring diagram?

[RideRed0331]

Can someone please tell me which wires are which on the rear tail light? Running light and brake light wire colors for example. I'm replacing my stocker with a custom unit and need to make sure I'm right! Thanks.

Couldn't tell ya for sure but if you have a test light or volt meter test each write and you will get your answer

Awesome, thanks! And it looks like the blinkers are going to be the brown and black wires? So which wire will I be hooking my new LED blinkers to as the powered wire, and which will be the ground wire?

Can't tell ya what wire but a led will only work one way. Hold the wires together and see if it works if not switch them. You will also need a resistor is you don't want it to flash fast.

Violet = Left side power front and rear
Brown = Right
Black = grounds

If you don't want to run resistors/load equalizers (they can get hot) just swap out your relay for an LED turn signal relay. That will keep your turn signals from flashing too quickly. I got mine at American Sportbike, but I read about a mod on the forum where you can open up your existing relay and change it to work with the LED signals if you want to save 20 bucks over buying a different relay.
