Ok. I purchased the LEDB37/47 light kit from AdMore lighting. This gives my top box brake lights and turn signals. I have the led lights installed on the top of the case, however, I am unsure how to access the brake light cables. I'm pretty much stuck on what to do next. How do I remove the panels to get to the wires I need to attach the harnesses to?

Hi. I had the same issue for the same led lighting system.

See this thread
Stop led

I did not fully remove the plastic or dig into the wiring harness of the bike. I just spliced it into the existing LED tail light wiring. Has worked fine for months and several road trips.

I have run into another problem. I have everything plugged in and ready, but only my right blinker works on my case. If I switch the wires, the left works. So I know that both sides do work. What am I missing? I was told by Admore Lighting that I should tap into the brown wire, but I still get nothing. If I tap into the blue wire, both sides light up when I am using my right turn signal. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How do you have the wires currently connected? Please write it out so we can roughly estimate what you have connected into what.

Check for a bad connection, I had soldered mine together. You will need to use your volt-meter to get the polarity of the wires your splicing into so you splice into the "hot" side of the wire pairs and not the return side of the circuit.

Manual for the LEB37/47 kit;
https://admorelighting.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/AdMore-LEDB3747-T-TS_2208-Installation-Instructions.pdf

From the LEB37/47 manual
Red = Tail Light Wire
Blue = Brake Light Wire
Green = Right Turn Signal
Yellow = Left Turn Signal
Black = common ground
Purple Brake flasher wire ??? My kit had this but does yours?

This is the same lighting wire arrangement as my own LED55-TS manual. What is very interesting is neither mention the purple wire. My system had a brake-light modulator that made the braking lights flash when the brakes where engaged. Perhaps its not standard so the PDF manuals do not mention it.

Here is how I have my own AdMore wired up including the unlisted Purple brake light wire. What had discovered with my own kit was that the micro-controller for the LED kit (and thus the hole system) only worked when it had constant steady voltage while the bike was turned on. That blue wire was the steady voltage wire that provided the power to the controller via the running lights circuit.

* Blue and Red tied together to form a single connection that was then spliced into the left-side rear-brake "running lights" wire.
* Purple Wire was the "brake / brake-flasher" wire and this was spliced into the actual brake-lights wire going to the left rear brake lights.
* Yellow Wire was spliced into the hot-side of left turn signal.
* Green wire was spliced into the hot-side of the right turn signal.
* Black wire went to the first available black-ground wire for the scooter.

Youtube produces some installation samples of how other folks have connected these things for other bikes.
