Ok so I have bought the, small, rubber cased, flexi, back light, From Hitcocks.
It comes with red, black, black/white cables.
My Bullet has, green, orange, black, green/black, black/white cables.
Can anyone tell me which of the cables connect together ?
I have removed the indicators from the bike so I don't have to worry about them.

Many thanks

So you have 5 wires on the Bullet and three on the new light. Two of the 5 are redundant (indicators) and presumably you know which these are as they won't be connected. That leaves 3 & 3! One will be earth, another taillight and the last one stoplight

Look in the Bullet light fitting and identify the earth and the same in the new light. The wires to these two go together. Connect the remaining two by guesswork and you'll either guess right and it will all work, or at worse the dim taillight will come on when you hit the brake and the bright stoplight when you turn on the lights. If this happens, guess again (50-50 shot!) and all will be well.

Good luck!
