Rear tail light - 08 te450

[sp4ce]

Pay attention, the brake light only turn on with the engine running! If engine off doens't work!

Yeah, and don't try and test it with a multimeter or it's even more confusing. With the ignition on and the engine not running, the tail light wire is at 12v and the brake light wire floats at 9v. Then when you activate the brake, the brake light wire goes to ground and the tail light goes out! rofessor:

Where can I get one of these tail light assemblies for my 2009 TE510? What are they called exactly?

Just looking at a catalog for DRC Edge-2 tail light assemblies I see a few choices. Is the plastic-mounted universal one the right choice for the Husky? Part# D45-14-001 (red) or D45-14-002 (smoke).

So confuzzling!

I know this thread is getting old and will not remain forever so, I just wanted to put in my thanks as it helped me out a couple years ago. Thanks. As far as the poster above me, it was called the race tail light and came with the '08 power up kits.

I think it was made by UFO in case that helps.

I used the edge kit for a drz, smoked tailight and smoked blinkers, looks awsome and is really bright.

Here is the led tail light instalation. Just bought the simple connector. Repinned it for the factory instal.
This is the bike side. Power, brake, ground

I am a Godly man, so therefore I'm working on being a humble man. The problem was the light bulb. Don't ask me why both the running element and the stop element failed at the same time, but they did. I looked at the bulb yesterday and even got a second opinion as to it's condition. I didn't test the bulb yesterday, which is what I did this morning with a battery. Both elements were bad and a new bulb fixed the problem.
But I have to say that you guys came down on this problem like a hawk on a snake. Thanks for your help.

Took me a while to figure out you need to have the bike on to test for brake and turn signal lights lol
