Re: Modulating Rear Brake Light
 
Ummm... so I got my rear lights today, except I'm not sure how to access the wiring to hook up the hyperlights. What do I need to do to gain access to the back of the tail light assembly?

Update: I feel stupid, I found the two screws that hold the tail assembly on and I found the strap that holds the wiring to the frame. Ran out of daylight, will have to install tomorrow. I'll take pictures this time.

Ran out of daylight... again. Got the lights mounted and the wires run, but I want some sleeving for the wires to help protect them before I hook the wires up. Will take pictures as soon as I have a non-rainy day to finish this.

Good luck, it looks like it will rain every day for the two weeks to come, in this corner of the USA.

any recommendations on the type of heat shrink tubing to use? This is what I'm looking at currently: http://www.amazon.com/Pico-Waterproo...5554475&sr=8-2

Seems expensive. Haven't your local electrician's outlets got any? It's just everyday electrician's heat shrink. I Use an electric paint stripper (carefully!) to shrink it. (retired electrician) :2tup:

And, if all else fails, Radio Shack or West Marine.

Cheapest at Harbor Freight, comes in all different sizes/diameters and a box of assorted sizes is only a few dollars.

Gonna head over to my local independent auto parts store and pick some up after work. Weather permitting *snort* I'll finish this up tonight.

Don't forget to put it over one end of the wires before you solder or connect them together. :) :roll: :neener:
