| I have already installed an additional brake light on the Givi top box and now I would like to connect it to the system. What would be the best/easiest point to hook it up? Also, to which wire? Thank you in advance.

| Best access is to remove the left rear panel —the one with the trunk lock. That will expose the ECM and tail wiring. Unplug the 6-pin connector which feeds the rear lights. The brake light wires are Green Yellow (G/Y) is 12V and Green (G) is ground.
The wiring is only 20 gauge so it is best to use Posi-tap connectors (the red ones).
Here is an eBay link, but you should be able to find these locally in an Auto Parts store: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311&_nkw=posi+tap+wire+connectors&_sacat=0 |

| Just finished. It works great. Thanks again, Tim. Luckily, I didn't have the 20 gauge connection at home so I had a valid reason to ride to the neighbour town. Cheers, Frank |

| Next project is, additional tail light and turn signal on the Givi box. I assume, I can use one or two of the remaining wires from the same 6-pin connection. Am I right? Which is the tail light wire and which is the turn signal? Thanks again. |

| Black/Brown - Running Lights Light Blue - Rt Turn Signal Orange - Lt Turn Signal
Green - Ground/Earth Green/Yellow - Brake Lights
More than happy for someone to confirm; I have just copied this from the chart I made when I fitted an Admore Light Bar ten years ago. I had to make a chart as the Admore wire colour-scheme doesn't match the Honda one. |
