new brake light wiring

[suzu650]

I purchased a new brake light from a store in town. How do I hook it up?

The harness on the bike has 1white 1brown and 1black wire going in to it and the light I just purchased only has 1brown and 1red wires coming out of it. Can I hook this up so it work like stock?

Does your new "brake light" also brag about being a tail light?

With brown and red wires, I'm going to guess here, but I think the brown wire will be your tail light, the red will be your brake. It will ground through the mount.

To connect to your bike harness, connect as follows:
the bike's white wire to the light's red wire,
the bike's brown wire to the light's brown wire,
the bike's black (with white stripe) wire to the light's mount.

Not bad for just 'guessing'.







































Actually, some of old geezers have been guessing for so long, some of them are turning out to be right.
