Here's the wiring diagram. Can anyone translate the diagram to which color wire I need to add a couple of brake light LED strips.?

On the left side underneath the seat there's a bundle of wires undo the black tape and look for the green wire with the yellow stripe that is your brake power wire. Tie into that into your wire. I soldered mine together but those plastic blue clips work ok.

No green with yellow stripe on my bike in the 2 bundles under the seat.

I don't have a green wire with the yellow stripe .


I did find another post stating on their bike the brake wire was black/yellow.


I have one of those and wired everything up before final fixing.


Bike on, brake lever pulled and NUTTIN! NUTTIN I TELL YOU.


All my wire joins and twisted and soldered. I don't know if the brake wire splice is good and I didn't ry a volt meter to see it the wire at the LED strips was live.


I did connect the ground to the negative terminal. Wrong or right???

The thin bundle.

I found a pic from when I did mine. The yellow is hard to spot, it was on the bottom side of the wire, not visible from the top and of course that wire was on the bottom of the bundle so harder to locate. You can barely see the yellow in my pic. This is the smaller of the bundles and mine had the white label on it. Hope this can help. Test it before you solder this time. It's there, just tough to locate.

That's on top/next to the battery?

Ta Da! I have extra brake lights.

Putting the bike back together a thought flashed across my brain.

Can I simply splice into the positive for the LED strips and add more LED strips to the uprights of the saddlebag mounts? And of course splice into the ground.
