Default all in one LED Tail/Turn rear light

I bought an LED strip with built in turn signals and I'm in the process of wiring. The stock tail/turns have three wires; black, blue and brown. I know the black is ground but does anybody know which wire controls the brake/running lights?

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure on mine the blue was running light, so that makes brown the tail id imagine.

Im so close. I got the blinkers to work and the center brake light but I cant get the whole thing to light up as the tail light, only the center lights up

I think the problem is how i have the added running light circuit setup, but I havent messed with wiring much at all so I'm a noobie.

Usually one color works one side of the blinkers. Its at least like that on some of the other HDs

just re-read the description of the led strip and it says the brake light will run as a tail light with the running light circuit. So the whole thing wont light up for tail just the middle which means I got it all up correctly. sweeeeeeeeet

That light looks pretty clean. Post a pic when you get a chance, I want to see what it looks like on a sporty.

The only trouble I'm running into now is figuring out how to mount it on the rear fender facing backwards

I'm pretty sure the one from Harley uses double stick tape...... Maybe some liquid nails would work.....
