    I'm considering ordering the "Backoff" brake light for my '07 RWB, but before I do, I was hoping someone could tell me what the wiring colors were for the brake lights.....such as what color was the ground wire, hot wire, etc.

    Thanks for any help, advice or links!

    I just tapped into the brown wire for the techlusion box- ignition controlled.

    I just completed the install of the "XP Backoff" on my 2007 RWB and all works well. There are three wires going to each of the two running/brake light connectors.

    Green - Ground
    Brown/Blue - Running light (hot)
    Green/Yellow - Brake light (this is the one you want)

    You can confirm this with a DC voltmeter. Just ground one lead of the voltmeter and hook the second lead up to the connector with the Green/Yellow wire. Step on the rear brake pedel and see the voltage change. It will read less than 12 VDC if the lamp is still in the circuit.
