When you turn on the ignition, 12v is applied to the Black/brown and the running light part of the bulb lights. When you apply a brake, 12v volts is applied to the brake light element and it lights and the tail light gets brighter.

The bike’s green wire is the common ground for it for both elements in the bulb. Hope this helps.


Thanks. I’m thinking the tail light red and black are hots but I’m confused if the yellow is a common.
