07 XRS taillight and handwarmer project

[CF7SP]

I have been trying to replace my taillight on my 07 xrs with a taillight off a nytro mtx with the led...the project was going great until I was trying to hook up the wiring. I could not activate the brake light with the brakes applied, I could cross wires and get it to be bright as if it were the brake, but that was it. Any thoughts on what this could be? The Nytro light has 3 wires as well, so 1-ground, 1-power(hot) and 1-for brake applied? Is this correct?

Other project is replacing my handlebars off a nytro mtx. The nytro is a 2-wire (black and black) and my xrs is a 3-wire. Any ideas on how to wire the two together?

Thanks in advance guys! Looking forward to some snow in the u.p.!

You need to put a resistor in for the 3 wire harness to two wire hand warmers. I've seen the diagram, I'll dig around and find a link.

It's a long write up, but it's really simple to do.
