Need help with lights

[Motorcycledave]

Hi
I am checking with all you folks who are way smarter than I am when it comes to the
electrical stuff on the Spyder.
I want to put LED type tail lights & brake lights on the back of my Spyder it's a
2008 GS. Is there any reason that I can not just splice into the tail and brake light
wires and hook up the LED type lights that way, or is there a problem with mixing them
with the lights already there.
I have seen posts of people having trouble with doing what I want to do.
the reason I want more lights is I don't feel the factory put enough lighting on the
rear of this model Spyder.
Thanks
Dave

You can use old brake light wire. Make sure the positive (+) to (+) and negative (-) to (-) led lights are polarity sensitive. good luck.:yes:

:agree: If you hook 'em up and nothing happens; try reversing your leads before going into panic mode!

You should be able to add LED lights, but you cannot replace the existing brake lights with LEDs (without load compensators). Nanny won't like it.
