Good day everybody,

The label "to LED lights" felt from a cable during assembling of my bike.
After connecting the lights, they don't work.
Who can tell me around which wires the original label was mounted?
Or how the wiring of the lights is done?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Alan,
But please have a look at my wiring photo;

1) According your LED Light connection diagram, I have connected +(brown) wire from both rear and front lights to the yellow wire coming from throttle/light switch cable, so far so good I think.

2) But then I'm confused where to connect the brown wire from this cable? According diagram it should go to a red or brown connector, but I have only 2 red connectors which are already connected to each other (top of photo)

As I told earlier, I lost the label "To Led Lights" so I don't know how to connect the lights!

Thanks in advance,

Ardjan

Ardjan, it's very difficult to see from your picture exactly what is connected to the other connectors.

To save a lot of hassle, the modified diagram below shows two wires on the yellow connector which you can connect the light supply and ground wires to, the green lead from the throttle is the battery + supply for battery gauge and will work fine for powering the LED lights. The black  lead from the yellow connector is a ground connection for both the battery gauge and the throttle and will also be OK for grounding your LED lights, but do not use these wires if you are using high wattage non LED lights (ie. 12V 50Watt halogen bulbs in series etc.), because the power requirements may be too much for the small gauge wires to handle.

I hope the diagram below is clear enough for you to understand, but let me know if there's anything you are still unsure about.
