Default Tail Light Wiring

I am installing a power distribution plate that cuts power when the ignition is turned off. To do this I need to wire the plate to the tail lights power wire of which there are three: black with white, white with black and grey. I am leaning toward grey being the hot wire. can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Default Re: Tail Light Wiring

I'm not sure without looking it up, but both versions have three wires to the rear lights ( you haven't said which it is), two are live, one each for tail and brake, and the other is a common earth.

if it's a pointy and you hold the plug from the light facing towards you, I think from left to right it's tail/brake/earth in that order.

HTH

Cheers Mark.

Good morning all.

Just checked the manuals.
On a Curvy the tail light feed is brown. On a Pointy the feed is grey, which turns brown at the loom plug.


Cheers.
