Hi,

I've tidying the tail of my Gilera DNA and so I've ditched the stock rear lights and indicators and bought an integrated one, but I'm having trouble wiring it up,there's only 5 wires but it feels like there's infinite combinations, I get one indicator working, but then I swap two other wires, now the indicator doesn't work but the brake light does.

Here's pics of the whole thing, tried my best to take close shots.

The one I'm testing the attachment with at the moment isn't the one I'll be using in the end (it doesn't fit), so I'm hoping the wires are colour coded the same way for the actual light I'll be using, when I figure out which wire is which anyway.

This is the integrated rear tail/indicator light I plan to use

I used a glue gun to stick a glob of glue on the wires there because they looked quite flimsy.

If it helps, I think this is a schematic for the electronics for this bike: https://i.imgur.com/ZcUp9tE.jpg

I've got a box of those cable connectors on the way and also I've already got crimping tools etc, so I'll be able to wire the good light up properly to the rest of the wiring loom. I mean, I could just chop the wires off the end of the existing loom and solder the wiring up etc but I could probably sell it on ebay for a bit.

Anyway thanks in advance if anyone can help, been trying to get this done for bloody ages and finally found the energy to do it and can't!

Thanks again.

Try, Black=Earth
Green = back light,
Red = Brake light,
Blue = left flasher,
Yellow = Right flasher.

Thanks, will have a go today - just realised I could use the OEM wiring loop to help figure out which wire is which, at least on the connector.

Are these AIO LED lights usually any good RE; visibility? Haven't had a chance to see the main one in day/night light yet but the tester one i'm using I already have some concerns.
