So, I've relocated my plate under my rear fender close to rear shock, and I've ordered an 3 bulb LED light to shine on my plate. My question is what would be the best way to wire this in? I was thinking about splicing into my brake light. But, which wire is my constant positive? Or should I use an open spot on the fuse block up front, then will it always be hot to only when I turn the key? If its turn key that would be nice of course. What do you think? |

Perhaps you should use the power from the existing number plate light? This will come on when it is supposed to and save you the hassle of running a new circuit. |

Thanks, should I use both the pos. and neg. leads? Or make a new ground for the light? |

nope, just the pos/neg that exist. You'll find that it will only work one way and not the other. If it does not light, reverse the hookups (an LED is a diode). |

I have my plate moved up there, too. I used two license plate bolts that are drilled and have an LED in each of them. I ran the wires up and used the stock license plate light wires. So far so good. I may have to add a washer under them to space them out a bit to get more light on the plate. They throw a flat, wedge of light. |

Here is mine --
Wired the LED bolt (big silver one in the pic) to the taillight running-light so it's on when the bike is on. Works like a charm so far, will do until I change my R to an RScg (R front, S tail, with an CG suspension and seat trade). Just take your time, it's not too hard to do. |
