HELP, Tail Light removal, wiring schematics for 650GT

[Lcdrakallen]

How do you remove the rear tail light assembly housing? I am trying to install an Admore light kit, and I need access to the turn signal wires on both left and right. I have the brake lights, because I can access the bulbs, by removing the "door" in the trunk housing, but I am unsure how to access the turn signals. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

FYI, I am installing LED Brake and Directionals in the OEM Topcase, I'll post pics afterward, provided all goes well. Does anyone have the wire color codes?

I can't speak on the GT, but on the Sport I tied into the brake electrical at the handlebars and ran a wire to the back.

I have it installed and it's up and running. I will post pics. The wiring is so simple, all you have to do is remove the right side rear panel all of the wires you need are located there, it's simply knowing which color goes to which, and blamo! Done. Of course I discovered this after removing almost everything from the bike.
I was attempting to get to the tail light assembly, thinking it was the best approach, but alas it was not. Hindsight truly is 20/20, now I know. It was pretty easy. It would have been nice to know this prior. I hope this helps any future installers.

Any chance you have pics you can post? I just ordered a wiring harness from Admore (I already have the lights in my top case) and will be attempting the wiring next week.

EDIT - I found your other post, so please ignore this one!!

Great. I'm glad you found it. I like them, let me know what you think, and post pics. Thanks

I'm David C. Bedford, Tx. and am installing extra run/ turn signals on back side panels, and have the right rear panel off and found the wiring harness, and could you tell me which wire colors to tap into for the left, right run wires? there's quite a few there. my run/turn lights i'm putting on have a black(ground), red(run), and blue(negative-I believe). any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I installed mine about a year ago - web bike world had a picture of the wires that got me over the hump.

Installed an Admore SMT lightbar in fall or winter, also installed underseat power connector at the same time.

Running down right rear side of bike from a connector are 2 sections of wires:

Wrapped in fabric like electrical tape:
Red/white = always on 12v, direct to battery, for underseat optional power outlet.
Brown= ground for power outlet.
2 other wires, I didn't note colors, I assume powered on by key, 12v power and ground for license plate light.
2 more wires, color not notes but could look at back of connector for underseat light. Branches off midway back and to plug for underseat light. Not sure of power on source, maybe seat latch, seems like on shut off delay, assume 12v power and ground.

In plastic protective cover are 5 wires for tail lamps:
brown = ground
white = running (12V when the bike is on, 0V otherwise)
red = brake (12V when either brake is applied)
green = right signal (alternates between 12V and 0V as the signal blinks)
yellow = left signal (likewise).

I still can't find the yellow and white and green wires as it looks like they're behind the rail light and i don't see how to get to them. How can i get behind the tail light? Factory has taken the small access door away and now no access to wires.
