LED instead of stock brake light?

[Aussie Niko]

Hi just wondering if any one knows how to hook up a led brake light to a 900 rmk. My stock light broke and Iv'e hooked up a yamaha apex led light to the rear 3 wires but can only get one function going at once ie: tail light or brake but not both.

niko.

They make an LED adapter for that. Slp sells it $20 or so.

four barr and blume industries have everything you need to do it. it is simple.

So what is it? Is it a voltage convertor?

If you want to just wire up an LED with off the shelf parts, check out DiggDawgs post in the HOW TO thread, he put a very good schematic right there of how to do it..... There's also a couple other threads in there on this topic.


Actually, here is the post itself

I made this wire diagram to help guys wire up their own led tail lights.

the relay i used is a automotive mini relay borg warner or BWD part number R4823 you can get them from most parts stores. they can cross that number to a number they carry. an application to use would be horn relay on a 2001 dodge dakota

i should have taken pics as i was doing it but i siliconed mine all up after i was done to prevent water intrusion. I also soldered all of my connections, even to the relay and used heat shrink to protect them.
