since my 09 gs was totaled by Harvy, I have bought a 2011 R1200RT. I installed a Givi 56 liter trunk on it with led light kit. Cannot get the leds to light up.
I was surprised to see only one wire going to the tail light and brake light. Actually appears to be one hot wire and one ground to each of two bulbs. Not wanting to cut or splice wires, used a spade connection splitter to connect wiring to the led's in the trunk. I only read 3 volts at the givi lid. All I really want the lights to do is be on as extra running lights and would appreciate any suggestions. Am thinking I should find a wire such as one for an accessory plug to use to power the lights.
