Wiring Standard Brake Light Onto Interstate

[Forge]

I have pulled my trunk and installed the standard brake light assembly as well as the new wiring harnesses A and B. I am plugging in the 5 wires into the main harness. Where does the second Green wire go? If it needs to be spliced, where do I splice it to? That's all I have left to do before buttoning her up.

Thanks in advance.

green should be able to buddy up to any other green on the bike harness

Damn. The brake light is not coming on. The night running light is on, but when I apply either the front or rear brake, the second filament does not come on. I have ohmed the bulb and it is good and even tried a second bulb. I plugged the 4 male wires into the corresponding colored female sockets and used a jumper wire to tie in the remaining green male to the green on the original brake light connector's green. Should I be splicing into the original 3 wire  connector that powered the brake lights on the trunk, or should I be directly plugging into the 4 female connectors like I did?

Take another look at that Green wire to see if it has a yellow stripe. If it does, that is the wire that turns on the brake filament. On a STD/Tourer there are five connections behind the right side cover. On an I/S there are only four. On an I/S, the Green/Yellow connects to a 3P mini white connector under the seat.

Figured it out! I was using a jumper wire to verify where to tie in the green wire with yellow stripe. I was jumpering it to the wrong green in the original I/S 3 pin harness. Then I realized there was another green, but with a red stripe. I jumpered the green/yellow from the brake light to the green/red wire and it now works. Now she’s spliced with one of the blue “inline” splicers and is good to go. The 3 pin connector is still in place since I used the splicer, so I think I should be able to run both the standard and trunk lights at the same time by simply plugging back in the trunk connector when I want to use the trunk for trips.

Thanks guys, for your input!
