Well, I went with the Kawi ZX6R tinted integrated tail light because I like the look of the tinted lens... Now for the question,

It has a red, white, and black wire coming from one bundle and another bundle with a blue and yellow wire...

What goes to what on my Stryker? :confused:
Anyone done this and remember the colors for the hookups?

I hope you can help.

Black red and white go with your stock taillite, and blue and yellow are left & right turn signal, not sure which is left or right. and I believe black is ground. Will need to hook that up to tail and Turns. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm no good at electrical. That's all I remember from doing mine. I think the online manual should show the stock taillight wire colors and function though.

Hopefully they gave you a wiring diagram with the tail light. Can't remember which, but the white and red will be your run/brake power lines. Black is ground for all the lighting on the bike. If you get the brake/run lights the wrong way you shouldn't burn out the leds. You will just have the higher intensity run light with no change when you hit the brake pedal/lever. If you mix up the left/right turn the wrong side will blink. Just do a temporary wiring with some wire nuts to check it before soldering and you should be good to go.

Hope you're not doing all this work for nothing. That light will most likely go out on you and you'll be back to square one
Well if it does and I have to exchange the Kawi internals with the blaster LEDs at least I'll already have the mount done and the tinted lens that I think looks best.
I'm going to add shock mounts to the fasteners that hold the lamp to reduce the vibration and I'll check the connections in the light before I mount it.
I know very little about LEDs but I hear as long as the connections are solid, it's all about the values of the juice each one draws that gives it it's color and intensity. the LED is really just a resistor itself and quality from one to another doesn't vary much.
I guess it's all how it's put together?
We'll see.

ACE... no, no instructions or wiring diagram!
It's just a direct replacement for the Kawi light, with a Kawi plug.
