Okay, so I'm very new at this sort of thing and I realize there is likely an obvious solution to my problem. Much to my embarrassment, I just can't seem to find it!

Here's the issue: I just bought a new brake light/tail light/license plate light for my 2003 Shadow Spirit. As I get the wires on the new light connected, the new tail light comes on and stays on. When the bike is idling, it's on. When I apply the brake, there's no change - it's just as bright as when idling. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks.

Try reversing your brake/tail light wires. The brake is on all the time and when you apply the brake lever, you light the tail light element which is dimmer and unnoticeable.

Ha ha! Indeed!

Thank you.
