Hi!
I will be rebuilding the tail on my motorcycle this summer, i will mount a custom tail from a different brand motorcycle and along with that a "custom" tail light that came of a newer bike, the new tail light i want to put in is a LED tail light, but the one on my bike is halogen, both my stock (halogen) and the new LED tail light has 3 wires each, red (+) black (-) and blue (brake(when u press brakes)), so connecting them together is easy, i tried the new LED tailight by connecting it to a 12v battery and it worked fine, but does the LED taillight need a resistor/relay (or whatver its called) like the LED turn signals need to blink/operate normaly? can i damage the electronics on my bike or the new LED tail light by straight swapping/connecting the taillight to the same wires where my old Halogen taillight was? i know LED require less power, but i dont know if the excess power from my bike will burn the LED tail light, on the back of the new LED tail light it says:
13.5V
2.4/0.3W
dunno if that is of any help but..... anyone got any ideas :/
