Wiring colors for Taillight

Post by lobo rojo on Mon Mar 23, 2009 11:31 am

I am replacing the taillight with an LED taillight but hope someone has some ideas on the work colors.



The wires from the bike are

Black/Yellow – labeled on stock taillight as 54 STOP

Red/Yellow – labeled on stock taillight as 58 POS

Solid Brown – I assume this is ground (isn’t brown always ground on BMW???)



The wires in the LED replacement are:

Solid Green

Green/Yellow

Solid Brown



I guess that is what I get for buying the taillight on eBay (I emailed the seller and waiting on a response).



Thanks for your help. Steve

I heard back from the seller on Ebay with the following descriptions:



Dear buyer

the yelllow is connect to positive polarity

the brown is for ground

the greeen is for negative polarity

any question , please contact with us freely



To go with that explanation, will someone confirm the polarity for the BMW wiring? I assume it will match up like this:



Positive: BMW Red

Negative: BMW Black

Ground: BMW Brown.



Please let me know if that is correct. Thanks again for any insight.
