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. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Modulating Rear Brake Light
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.

Re: Modulating Rear Brake Light
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

Re: Modulating Rear Brake Light
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.

Re: Modulating Rear Brake Light
Cheapest at Harbor Freight, comes in all different sizes/diameters and a box of assorted sizes is only a few dollars.

Re: Modulating Rear Brake Light
Don't forget to put it over one end of the wires before you solder or connect them together.
