    Default Adding a 3rd brake light and signal light to a Top Case

    Hi, I've just purchased an LED kit from Admore Lighting for my Givi E450 Top case. By any chance does anyone know what wire color is for the brake light (white?) and wire color for turn signals? I will tap into the rear brake lights of my Ryker to my Givi Top case. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Update: I was able to figure out the wire setup. Everything looks good! Thanks everyone.

    I added a rear LED brake light flasher last year, but dont remember the colors of the brake wires. Once I disassembled the rear brake light & turn signal panel at the back, I just used a bungee cord to hold the brake pedal down and with a 12 volt tester found out which ones was for the brake light. Then I ran the wiring down along the bottom of the shaft housing (where the factory harness is run) and zip tied my new brake light wire to that harness. Then up and underneath the Max Mount to the new LED brake strobe light. I didnt do an install video, but I did do one showing the light and its different strobe patterns.

    Slingmods.com sells a plug and play brake kit that goes by the license plate. I bought that and cut the wires and added my own lights. It was easy to figure out which wires were what.

    All too low for max visibility. I've been looking into one of those "smart" helmet stop lights. The BrakeFree light uses a G sensor to activate on ANY decel, super sensitive, and it's supposed to react even to motor braking. Expensive lil thang, but sounds like just the ticket for me.

    Great, I'm guessing the rear light wires on a Ryker should be the same as a Spyder. I also purchased a 12v test light. i should receive the light kit next week. Thank you
