led rear lights

[jon8oy]

Hi can any1 assist me im looking for info on wiring in LED rear lights from a pointy with curvy wiring loom

cheers john

nobody know??

Curvy has black/white as earth on the normal lights, white/black is brake light live and brown is the running lights(/sidelights whatever)...

So, just find which wires on your pointy lights have continuity to each other, presume they'll be a common earth. Then put 12v to various wires, it'll only work with the polarity one way so that'll show you which wire is which.

On a slightly different note, how the hell are you going to fit pointy lights to a curvy? Or are you using the whole rear end?

[jon8oy]

yep got it in 1 fitting the whole rear end, its gonna take a take a little fabrication but i sourced a full rear with clear back lights and integrated indicators.

finding that when i wired the indy's up they didnt work will it require a led box for voltage etc it has the proper suzuki connectors so i thought they would just work, the chap who sold it to me assured me they all work

[SoulKiss]

Just get rid of the curvy and get a pointy - job done - instant rear LEDs

Hope this helps

lol that wud just defeat the object of modding my bike and putting my own touch, dont get me wrong pointy's are ok and iv rode 1 but it just dont give me that hmphhh effect :-)

LED's don't draw enough power to make the stock timer work, presume they flashed fast enough to cause epeleptic fits when you tried them?

It's been covered a lot before, you either need a motrax flasher relay, which is the better option, or a lot of ballast resistors, which is the daft option.

(you can junk the entire stock relay, bypass all the numpty switches, less to go wrong)

would you know how?

Always wondered what that would look like and was going to do that one day.

The only issue with the clear lensed brake/indicator combo is that they use LEDS, and not Luxon leds like the std rear light on a pointy, thus being harder to see in the daytime.

[yorkie_chris]

OK if I was going to do it with stock wiring loom, then I'd chop the entire relay off, seperate the indicator wires and sort that out with your motrax relay (not sure how as not done one)

Then the orange/black needs to be connected to the orange/yellow.

This bypasses the eejit relay, and connects the fused feed straight to the killswitch instead of relying on the sidestand switch, wiring and relay.

This will also get rid of the need to start it in neutral if the stands down, and you might need to splice something else to get a working neutral indicator lamp.

All the above is IIRC from rewiring mine.

I'll get back to you later when I've got a proper diagram to look at.

if i have to ill just put the stock pointy led lights on and my small indy's will that work ok or will i still need a relay of sorts....?

[yorkie_chris]

Your small indis will work if they use a filament bulb.

Orrrr, you could wire your small indis and the integrated ones in, that'd work fine. (also save you buying a stock pointy light)
