givi monolock universal adapter

Well, AFAIK, there's no dual filament or dual LEDs in the Givi lights,so all you will have is brake lights. Was the lighting kit from someplace else?

I'm pretty sure that's right. When I installed the wiring on my Givi case (not on a CB1100) I had to choose which way to wire it...either always-on or as an extra set of brake lights. I chose the latter. I decided people behind me should get as much notice as possible when I'm slowing down.

I recall the leads didn't make a perfect connection in the box when I closed the lid so I had to monkey with the connection, but it has all been working perfectly for a couple years now.

That's why I like the Admore kit better. It has red running lights and amber turn signals.

From what I understand, the stock two-contact Givi connector corrodes or something over time and then your lights blink. The Admore kit comes with a much nicer connector, however, it has to be connected manually (it's a quick-connect, though).

manually, you say? My gawd man, this is the 21st century!

What? When did that happen? Next you'll be telling me Honda's made a new air-cooled in-line 4!
