Auxiliary LED STOP/TAIL for topbox

ROLL DOG · Jun 5, 2017

Looking at adding additional LED STOP/TAIL light through the HEX EZCAN and wondering has anyone done this already?

I want to add lights but eBay/Amazon etc are overrun with tacky versions so wondered what you guys are running?
Looking for recommendations

I've got a Durite 6 x Led as a rear foglight, cost was £50ish

It has 20 different settings for you to play with, one of which will do as your additional brake light doesn't do a dual function ie stop/tail.

I love the idea of an auxiliary stop/tail light, I did see some one with one on the back of his helmet last year no idea of how it was activated!

I got these from Amazon... fit nicely yo to the top box and enough length on the wire to connect to the EZcan. Can take a closer picture if you want. :beerjug:

Yep, I've done it works well.

I bought my rear LED Brake Lights from eBay. Came from China at £ 1.50 each.

I was going on a 4 day tour with panniers, so I bought a handful and will treat them as disposable.

But in fact they worked really, so left them on the bike.

I originally just stuck them onto my number plate. All my biker mates liked them, so they are staying for now.

HEX EZCAN controls the brightness. So they are on 10% during normal running lights, and 100% on brake lights, which match the existing lights perfectly.

not bad for the money, no issues after 3 years.

No, this is connected directly to the HEX EZcan situated under the rear seat along with the auxiliary driving lights and FIAMM twin tone horns. :beerjug:

how would you wire them without the Hex EZcan?

Good question and I suspect there will be others on here that are more qualified to answer. Having said that I suspect you would need to pick up the live and ground wires from the harness into the break light and tap into them.

I've wired a single strip of 6 LEDs directly to the existing tail/stop light connection, and it is tolerated by the CANBUS. I've fitted the LED strip into a Shad auxiliary brake light fitting which fits onto the top box mounting plate. This light fitting was fairly cheap and I found out why when I got it because it had 4 conventional bulbs in it, even though some of the advertising states it is LED - perhaps there are different variants. Anyway, the CANBUS was unsurprisingly not happy with that and shut down the rear lights until I disconnected it. I removed the bulbs and put the LED strip in their place which works well, but I'm about to try adding a second strip of 6 LEDs to see if I can get away with that, just to make it a bit brighter. I have all my other add-ons wired up to a Fuzeblock fitted in the tail and I'm happy with that, though might go for an EZCan at some point in the future.
