Here are 7 tips when you wiring motorcycle LED tail lights:


1. Keep it tidy

Before getting started on installing your motorcycle LED lights, prep your work area so you can keep things as tidy as possible. This is a good place to start your project because it might just save you from crumbling into a heap later on. Keep it tidy so you’ll easily be able to pick up wherever you left off and find parts without any hassle.

2. Follow manufacturer guidelines

Wiring new custom motorcycle LED brake and tail lights is not much harder than any other LED project because you’ll simply need to match up your wires correctly. Let’s say you’ve chosen to use the surface mount motorcycle LED modules for tail lights. These could simply be mounted with the 3M adhesive backing so it makes the entire job so much easier!

Remember to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, particularly any instructions involving the mounting point. Consider using relays if you find yourself needing more insulation to counter the effects of vibrations.

3. Keep relays enclosed

If you’ve chosen to use relays, you’ll want to keep them dry and secure. Even though they’re usually pretty weather resistant, be safe and try mounting them somewhere well-enclosed. Try the headlight shell, under the gas tank or maybe even under the seat.

4. Protect terminal connections

It’s important to protect your terminal connectors, and dielectric silicone grease is great for just that. You can do this with any other switch you add, make sure they’re securely mounted and not exposed to the elements.

5. Don’t forget the fuse

The purpose of a fuse is to blow if the electrical load exceeds its limit, so it’s a good idea to always replace a blown fuse with a fuse that has the same rating. Using a fuse when adding electrical accessories is very necessary, make sure that it’s positioned close to the circuit and power source.

6. Prevent shorts from happening

You’ll want to disconnect the battery before doing anything on the electrical circuit. to prevent sparking which may occur if a hot circuit is accidentally ground. Make use of a wiring diagram to identify circuits, this will help a lot when wiring.

7. Be aware of electrical system load

When adding any extra LEDs to your motorcycle, you’ll experience a greater load on the electrical system, and you might even find that the load is too much. You’ll need to be certain of what your motorcycle can handle, and pick motorcycle LED brake and tail lights accordingly.
