Integrated Taillight Wiring help..
Ok so I just received my tail light assembly from hong kong ebayer..If I had known they had them here in the states I would have purchased here but anyways...
What I have is basically the stock light with a led panel and two wires coming out the rear blue and yellow and a hand made socket that looks like the end of the light bulb.. but no directions on how to install.. go figure...
So how do I get this thing up and running? Just confused and stuff lol

that sounds kinda like what mine did. I don't know jack about wiring so I has gsxr_rcr hook mine up. Basically the wiring input that came with mine had some wires reversed so when it was plugged directly in only the brake like worked. We chopped that thing off and he made me new connections. I think the real issue was that the connector wires were in the wrong order. And the blue and yellow wires are for the turn signals...took some trial and error to figure out where those went also. I'm sure you could PM gsxr_rcr for a more professional answer.
EXACTLY had the same problem! When i plugged mine in it would lite up and stay bright with ignition on.. Obviously the they wired it wrong. I looked at the stock bulb and reversed every leed that came off of the connector that they made plugged her in and works great! Didnt have to cut or change anything with mine however. Just changed the contact points on the tail light. Plugged the Blue and yellow wires into the turn signal wires I believe Yellow to Blue and Blue to Orange.. No problems.. Flashes fast but I think its because I am missing the front turn signals as well...
Hope this helps

Fast flashing is because of the LED's. Mine came with resistors to slow down the flashing to normal speed but they were kinda crappy so I left them off. I have my front signals hooked up and it made my front ones flash fast too. Digital flasher relay will fix all that...that will probably be my next purchase.
