Brian, If the wiring is connected correctly, there may be a problem with the tail lamp bulb. There was an aftermarket 1157 halogen bulb sold some years back that had the run filament where the brake filament should have been and vice versa.

I figured it was just the bulb and replaced that. But it turns out that there's something reversed in the wiring. (This is just a guess, I know nothing about electrical stuff.) It looks as though the bright filament is always on, and when I apply brakes the dimmer one comes on. In other words, the light only gets marginally brighter when I apply brakes, which is a safety worry. For all I know I've been riding it this way for years. It's an 03 that I bought used. Can anyone save me some time and steer me towards the probably cause and necessary repair? Thanks, Bryan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
