Hey, all.
You seem to have a good forum here (a lot of DIY'ers), and this is my first post.

I just relocated my license plate to the side by reconfiguring the original mounting bracket. I got some LED bolts to light it and I need to figure out how to wire it. I've been searching the net for the better part of two hours.

Going to the tail light are three wires a red w/ yellow stripe (which I found somewhere is the brake light), a blue wire, and a black wire.

Does this mean the blue wire is the license plate/running light? And I'm assuming the black wire is the ground. I got the seat off and ready with everything else, but I don't want to mess with the wrong wires.

Any help is much appreciated.

Mud,
I've been looking and looking. Thanks for the verification, man. It is much appreciated. I'll have time to get it done tonight thanks to you!

 

i gots 6 as well, cut out all the extra and got it down to just the 3 now... not sure what colors... i can look if oyu need me to?

 

just pick up a cheap tester from your auto parts store. Then you can test every one for function.

 

I reconfigured the original license plate bracket and voila, a side mounted license plate. The LED bolts were $15 bucks (small wires though), and it will do until I get one of those LED frames I've seen.

I thank you kindly for the replies, guys.

 

those look like the kury lights. man those wires are tiny, and what a pain in the *ss to work with. How bout a pic of the back of the plate?

 

It's a little messy.

I left a small coil of wire, so I have something to work with if and when I upgrade to an LED plate frame. I snuck the wire through a gap passenger footrest and under the swing-arm with a few black zip-ties.
