Title: givi top box lighting problem
Post by: motorbikebuddy on December 26, 2008, 01:59:43 AM
hi all,

i have bought a givi top box and fitted the givi light system to it

thats where my problems start.

my questions are firstly, should the lights on the box be on and then when i pull the brake the lights go out, or should it be out and then when i pull the broake the lights come on.

Secondly, i have not connected it all yet just touched the wires together,

the givi light system has two wires 1 blue 1 black, my suzuki gs500 k7 has two bulbs in the rear unit and has a brown wire, a black and white wire, and an earth wire going into each part of the rear light.

can anyone tell me how the light system should illuminate and how to wire up this system. The instructions are crap.

any help appreciated, but please make it for the layman as I have no idea how electrics work.....

cheers
mick
