Help with adding secondary brakelight

[danlnc]

I just put a top case on my RSS and need help connecting the brake light to the Spyder brakelight. Please speak slowly as I am electrically illiterate. Which colors are what? etc. Is there a connector I can buy at the local Auto parts to make it easier. I don't have a clue.

Just remember Red is positive (+) and Black is Negative (-) on 12 volts DC

The white wire over the rear wheel cover is brake. I used standard red wire in License plate light and tapered into the white up under and made the License plate light Brake and running. Positaps/Locks are best for Spyder electrical- Custom Dynamics sell them.

Back = ground
White = brake
Orange = running lights

Positap connectors would be the best. Available at some NAPA stores or online. If you use (suitcase) connectors, be sure to use the right size and to waterproof them thoroughly. I hate the darned things! They often break the wire being attached to, corrode easily, and are hard to waterproof thoroughly.

Here's where I got mine they are the the 18 inch strip leds, about 1/3 down the page. I had installed them in 2011 and been working great. http://tricled.com/TricLed.com/GS_RS.html
