  • installing new tail lights

    Ok so I am in the middle of a cafe build on my bike. I want do put new tail lights on the bike. I just want 2 small lights on the back to clean up the look. I want both lights to be the brake lights then each one to be a turn signal. I am assuming I can accomplish this with a little rewire. Do I just wire my brake light and turn signal to the same lights or am I looking at this wrong?

    Hi Brent,
    my son just did that very thing on his sidecar rig.
    It needs more than a little rewire.
    It also needs a separate signal to combined signal trailer light adapter module.
    Get one from NAPA or similar supplier, the small one you'll need costs ~$20 and is about the size of a cigarette package.
    There's a wiring diagram comes with it.

      Right on. I just want 2 little led lights or something bright along that line in the rear.
