Just a small FYI for anyone who feels like their LED isn't working right..
I recently swapped my brake light for an LED bulb.
When I took out the stock bulb, I noticed that the bulb was jammed in at an odd angle instead of seated properly, and was in fact 180* off.
After put the bulb back in the proper orientation, I discovered that it was in fact wired backwards. Meaning that the "High" side of the brake light was always on, and the "Low" side would come on when I pulled the brake lever. I guess that this is why they jammed it in sideways at the factory.
I noticed in the reviews when viewing LED bulbs on
amazon that many people complained that the LED bulb "barely got brighter" when they pulled their brake lever... which is exactly what having it wired backwards would do.
I ended up swapping over the two outside wires in the tail light harness side. The wire colors did match before I swapped them.
