Alright... Lights are installed, wired and working great!!
Link to quick video of me hand shifting through the gears to make sure they all work right:
***SPECIAL NOTE: The wires from the harness are NEGATIVE. The secondary wire from the stock shift lights (BLACK) is actually POSITIVE. The lights will be wired in reverse. I blew the fuse by the rear left wheel the first time because I hooked them up "the right way". So remember that if you perform this mod. Damn Chinese!!!
I wrapped the new wires in loom and taped and zip tied it all. Also, I am going to add 2 more "box" mounting screws under the shift lights to hold the protective box secure.
A really nice job and a very useful upgrade . I plan on attempting to follow your lead and place shift lights on my recently acquired TaoTao 250 . My grandkids like to ride mine and this would be a big help to them and me . I am not familiar with how to wire this up so the different gears light it`s respective light . Could you please draw out a wiring diagram of your hook-up. Nice work , great idea.
I didn`t read far enough into the thread. I found your post great information on the wiring hookup .
