Tail Light Question
« on: September 05, 2015, 07:47:55 AM »
Excuse me for this stupid newbie electrics question but I'm refitting the stock tail light on my CB400F. The rear light has 2 wires protruding - brake (green/yellow) and brown (running light). The rear fender has 3 wires protruding - brake (yellow green), running light (brown) and green (earth). What do I do with the green wire? Where do I connect it?

Green connects typically to the metal base of the light.
