I have looked all over in the brake pedal switch area and can not find a source to run the brake lights back from the pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was asking is if you can see the wire connection to the tail light when you remove the side panel to replace the reflector with the cyclone lights?

Got a pic of them lit up already on the topic defenders at work. Bright enough to be able to work into the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Yamaha Wolverine had one, and it was nice, others definitely knew when I was backing up, and I didn't have to reach for another switch.

Got a set expected to arrive Wednesday and want to get them out on quickly, leaving Thursday for Memorial Day weekend ride.

They are the KC Cyclones. One guy on this forum was able to rig up his brake lights to blink. That seems to me a better solution. However if you can get one of these KC cyclones to blink… You will certainly get noticed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit I linked, you install the light at the back, run wiring up to dash, put the microswitch in the shifter area per instructions. Anytime you put shifter lever into Reverse, light comes on. Other ones, you have to use a manual dash switch to turn them on/off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
