I want the kind the motor cops have on their plates. I have no idea what brand it is but it's sleek and clean. Not noticeable until they hit the brakes. I see it on both the Leo's ST1300's and GS's.

For now I'm just using the simple Vizi-Tec Suprabrake-3 It works like a charm!!

Hey makntraxs, I'm looking to install an additional LED brake light to my 2018 ES and I want to know where to tap into the brake light wires. Where do I look and what must I remove?
Thanks

Prior owner mounted a 3 led flasher (3 strobes then solid) right above the license plate. Looks stock but about doubles the light. He said it was manufactured for emergency vehicles.

I installed a Whelen on my Ten... programmed to "steady" but wired thru Vizi Tec programmable brake flasher along with stock tail light. 3 quick flashes then steady. I still need to add a reflector under license plate to be completely legal.

In the process of doing almost the same install on my 1000 Strom...but with a much lower cost non sealed type 3 led light...& adding led signals too.20200521_135409_HDR.jpg20200521_135420_HDR.jpg20200521_140803_HDR.jpg

Can you tell me where you accessed the electrical power source? What must I remove to access the brake lights wiring?

shumba , good morning sir . been along time since I did the install . but here goes , the wiring is under rear passenger seat but I do not remember exactly which ones , you will have to test the wires . it was not hard and I get to try and figure it out all over again as I have a 2019 Tenere .... when I traded the 12 for the 19 I took everything I could off the 12 buy forgot about the rigid light on back . duh. not much help but it is not to difficult . I will be adding that light again in a few weeks then I will know. again.

Okay thanks for your reply.
By removing the pillion seat and attaching the new LED brake light to the wiring, did the brake lights fire when the front brake lever is applied??

Yes they will because you are downstream of the switches, just adding more lights for the juice to go thru.

Just saw that this is the third place you've asked this question. Double and triple posting is aggravating and against the rules of most forums.

Could you advise where your lights came from, part number etc. That is exactly what I have been looking for. Tks. Jeff
