- In this video I'll show you how to make and install a second stop light on your bike. The method used for installing this can also be applied for other store bought auxiliary lights.

This is exactly what I needed to create a top brakelight for my BMW C650GT topcase. Thank you! I have been searching all over with no luck until I happen to run across your video.
Truly excellent work and a great idea. The manufacturer should offer this as an OEM option.
Fantastic video. Well explained. Thanks for sharing!!
thanks for the tutorial 👍
You are born to be engineer!
Doing your job right! Keep it up mate.
ma bucur ca am gasit canalul tau,foarte informativ, subscribed.
Thanks for the video I love this idea right up my street.
Hai cu mai multe episoade din partea ta, ești genial, nu te lăsa!
i like your style. Just for safety i propose to added a fuse around 1a should be good and a small resistor in the leds so they don't get burned if the voltage goes to 14.4v
Great work!
It is not for everyone, but very good.
brilliant video. I may have to do something like this soon.
2:26 Parkside drill, the tools of the workers ;)
Thank Christ for LIDL.
For better and longer results you need a led driver also to install.
@5:24 how do we know which positive wire (blue vs green)to choose for the auxiliary brake light?
I located the black (ground) wire but don’t know which positive wire to pair up with.
Hi. Nice video. I have a question, want to add a brake lamp to my motorcycle (Kawasaki KLR 650). Will use a small round LED lamp that I purchased that is sold as a rear fog lamp. My plan is to connect it to the brake lamp wiring to act as a brake lamp, "but" I also want to be able to turn it on in foggy or rainy weather as a "rear fog lamp" does, overriding the brake light system and keeping it on all time, what would be the wiring for such a switch ?
I installed 2 new LED brake light as you instructed, one light works and second light doesn’t work. The second one only works if I connect red wire directly to battery. Any suggestions?
la ITP ce ti-a zis de semnalizari? sunt curios :)
Salut din nou :) Se pare ca dau de tine peste tot .Vroiam sa mi conectez luminile la top case ul meu(pozitie+ frana) dar cumva sa nu zmulg firele cand il dau jos de pe mobra ,decai cautam un contact destept ca sa nu necesite demufare ...(sa intre si sa iasa automat cumva,ca cum intra pinii la top case in suportul de pe mobra ).Daca ai vre o idee de contact din asta ,da un semn.Mersi
Sergiu, acele led-uri din semnalizari, sunt tot genul acela ca de la stop ? Adica COB la 6 sau 12V ?
Da, același tip de LED de 10W, doar ca produc lumină calda si au nevoie de aproximativ 12V.
The reason for the COB LED drivers isn’t regulating voltage but current because the hotter the LED the more current it draws which can lead to melting wires. Just FYI. I could be wrong tho 😂 Nice work, love your tests.
Well, if you're regulating current, you are changing the voltage to maintain a constant current. It does sound like you're right though. I don't think the reason for the drivers is for the wires though, but the LED itself. If a hot LED pulls more current, it will get even hotter, and pull more current until it burns out.
If the wires are melting, it means you don't have any sort of fuse in the system, which is down right dangerous. The wires themselves should be able to handle at least as much current as the inline fuse. If they can't, you should replace them with a higher gauge wire.
@@joemann7971 you are right idk what I was thinking at that moment. The led will just burn out.
@@curly_luke I mean,.too much current will melt a wire. So, at least you know what too much current does, but that's also why fuses exist.
@@joemann7971 Yeah, I know but that's just unlikely in this scenario :P
@@curly_luke It's still better to be overcautious than overconfident.
Overconfidence kills. Overcautious just makes us overspend on things we didn't actually need. :-P
6 Volt LED's? Not 12V? (OK, 2 x 6Volt Paralell)
Did you use white color (red plastic on the box)
Great video as usual.
Is it worth adding an inline fuse to this setup?
Could be useful. I honestly forgot 😅
tutorial for cheap motorcycle please, matic.
Great video, I have a Dl 1000 too and can't find the breake light wiring, can you show me the where is the wires?
Thanks.
Any suggestion on 1157 type or P21/5w type red LED taillight/brake light bulb ?
It's good
Sergiu, where are you? What happened?
Si omologarea RAR cum ai obtinut-o?
Agreed, normally brake lights need 45° viewing angle to increase the visibility at the distance and in the fog but these LED's have 120° viewing angle.
Didn't come here for instructions on how to leave shit on your bike, came here for instructions on how to add on a 2nd light
Un test pentru filtrele de aer când faci?
In viitorul apropiat o sa testez si filtre de aer, auto si moto.
Mulțumesc pentru răspuns. Dacă s-ar putea face și o comparație între cele sport și cele normale ar fi super 😁!
such lights are the perfect invitation to get rides on hoods, as the lights are exactly at eye's level and brightness makes you confused about the effective distance. I wouldn't even be sorry if I would have the chance to be involved in an accident with such creation, just hope the idiot in front of me has insurance strong bones and doesn't even try to open mouth towards me. rahaturile astea le faceam la 7 ani cu sania si bicicleta, ce dracu...
Dai sfaturi ilegale . Acel autovehicul a fost omologat pt circulatie cu anumite lumini ,teoretic .Practic cel din spate poate fi orbit noaptea cand pui frana si te 'pupa' ; desigur,in momentul in care esti urcat cu targa in ambulanta , soferul i-si va cere scuze . Inca nu se pune problema cu RAR sa stea pe drum pt lumini dar la o adica te poate faulta - la un accident cu victime daca victima e jurist se lasa cu dosar penal . Sa nu uitam ca asigurarile fac orice,orice numai sa nu plateasca ...
Topcase-ul trebuie sa fi tare sa-l montezi incat sa acopere stopul ... de altfel nu ai vazut niciodata o capita care merge pe drum? Oricum scuza soferilor care te lovesc e "Scuza-ma nu te-am vazut" .
Ledurile se alimenteaza in curent constant ! Asta fac driverele de led ,asigura ledului un curent constant . Semnalizarile merg intermitent pe cant stopul e continuu .
Cei care au apreciat 200lm e ok pt un bec de frana probabil ca erau sariti de pe fix ,niste prosti care nu stiau ce zic - e undeva prevazut in normativele europene cat si ce trebuie sa fie la frana .
Lumina de "parcare" in romana se numeste de pozitie ,daca vrei poti sa stationezi in parcare si cu luminile de pozitie dar e acelasi lucru cu a da drumul la incalzirea locuintei vara .
Dai sfaturi ilegale . In Codul rutier se specifica clar ca e interzisa folosirea altor lumini decat cele cu care a fost omologat autovehiculul . Se ajunge in justitie iar aceasta e finantata din taxe si impozite pe care si eu le platesc . Pana se legalizeaza asta cu modificarea luminilor pe autovehicule terog sa nu mai dai sfaturi ilegale .
Legislația se aplică autovehiculelor, remorcilor si tramvaielor (art.101). Daca te uiți atent și îți pui ochelarii, poți observa ca este vorba despre o motocicletă. Indiferent de legislația țării, materialul video este produs pentru un public international unde regulile pot fi diferite. Daca omul îți prezintă cum sa faci ceva, decizia de a proceda la fel sau nu, îți aparține.
@@tscomponents33 Motocicletele sunt incluse in categoria autovehiculelor .
Omul respectiv da sfaturi ilegale cum sa modifici instalatia de iluminat a unui autovehicul desi e prevazuta expres interdictia de modificare .
Nu ma refer la legile din alte tari deci despre ce vorbesti? Dealtfel si tu faci referire la o lege romaneasca .
Din ce afirmi in legatura cu internationalul unde regulile pot fi diferite ( incertitudine) rezulta ca pot face ce vreau cu legile ca la o adica ma dau turc (de ex) si torn chestia cu pot fi si sunt cel mai corect om .
Si in legatura cu ochelarii ,am unii de aviator ca eu nu mai merg cu motorul ca poate ai un chopper . Cat despre observatia cu motocicleta eu credeam ca e o masina taiata in doua .
@@tscomponents33 legislatia se aplica vehiculelor cu motor. un prostanac care monteaza asemenea tiganimi merita sa faca o discutie cu ventilatorul de racirea radiatorului si sa plateasca si daunele pe cat de smecher este (din pacate asigurarea lui, deci si a ta, cand se ridica preturile pt prea multe accidente).
