Hi,

Not sure how much this will help? Both Tail light bulbs are double filament, incorporating the braking lights as well as the tail lights.
Red is + and is live when the lights are switched on.
Blue is the brake (+ to the second filament).
Black is - and "returns" both the red and blue feeds.
The brake filament is the brighter.
I cannot remember the order, but if you look at one of the bulbs you should be able to see which terminals are the two + circuits and the one - circuit.

Ciao,
Geoff

I just replaced my brakelight so it's still fresh in my mind.
looking at the bike from the rear. left 3 prongs are as follows it's blue outside terminal red inside and black on the "vertical"
on the right side: blue "inside" red "outside " again black on the "vertical"
hope this explains it.
