Ignition switched tap: where ?
« on: May 04, 2022, 05:21:17 PM »
Hi all:
I bought a hyper-light brake light kit and it requires a hot with ignition power source. Any recommendations where is more convenient?

Thanks

Green/black wire of the connector for the rear brake switch. (Under right side cover.)

Or white nylon connector in the relay box - green/brown wire.

That works. My bike has ABS, can I tap from the computer? Shorter run to the rear light. Thanks !

If you want to tap near the rear then tail light power - gray/black.

Installed the two 8-LED modules to the side of the regular brake light. Looks like it was designed that way. I am very happy. Tapped all the needed connections at the rear light as well. Thanks for the suggestions.

Photo as requested. It is annoying to look at!  Bought it from Sierra BMW in Reno, Nv.

That brand, but the ones with only 8 LEDs per side. I cannot confirm that the 16 LEDs will fit in the space.
