additional brake lights

[Eagle1]

I have a 2010 rt and want to add a brake light to the back of each side storage trunk . Where can i access the back of the brake lights and wiring to tap on?
Thanks for the help.

If you pull the back panel of the bike off (open the top trunk lid; remove all of those bolts that are close to your belt buckle, and then a couple on each side that you see when you pop open the saddlebags), the wiring harness is tucked down in on the left hand side of the bike... :thumbup:

I accessed mine just above the left light assemply. It is very tight though. Removing the cover that wraps around from just above the saddlebag up and around under trunk lid and back down to the other saddle bag. that will put you just behind each tail light. The space is tight but doable. I added a 3rd brake light with a modulator that mounts in the crease at the top of the trunk. I like the higher location for a brake on the trunk for better visibility. A vendor on the forum sells the 3rd brake light but I made my own cause I am cheap. (advance auto red LED strips.)

I have made a few video's showing how to hook up lights in the rear.

Personally on my 2011 RTS you also have to remove the bottom rear panel and unscrew the tail lights to get good access to the light wires.

Have a look at these posts I made with video. Hopefully they will help you.
