Great video! helped me out a lot as I'm from the uk and no-one does videos like this! All TST videos are good and massive thanks to the support team at TST once again great helpful guys!
Thank you for the kind words. We work real hard at bringing these videos to our audience. It is very nice to have confirmation that they are well received. Cheers!
I installed mine today. It was so easy a Caveman can do it by watching the video lol. The Posi-Tap makes the wiring so simple. Ill be buying another soon. Thanks TST Industries for a great product.
Everything went smoothly until I dropped one of the screw ends for the wire tap and it fell into the area underneath the battery! Haha with some extra dis-assembly and a second pair of hands we got it back though! Seriously though, those wire tap connectors made this install super easy. It is clear that you guys at TST have thought this stuff through, and the effort you guys put into the instructional videos goes a long way. My fender elim. and integrated tail light install for the ninja 300 went swimmingly and everything looks GREAT! Thanks TST!
+evenchuallie Awesome. Thank you. Next time you are at a store that sells tools consider buying a retractable magnet. It is a very good tool to have when working on motorcycles as it is very common to drop fasteners inside the bike. This tool is less than $10 and makes finding and removing fasteners really easy.
Installation #2, nice job staging the seat and tail and not having to remove the fasteners. Smart thinking, made for a smooth video. Oh, nice products by the way as well.
Awesome. Glad you like them. We see other companies providing either nothing or something complicated and we wanted to make it easy and tool-less for our customers.
I am suprised you guys went with the tape method for securing the light. What if someone sells the bike and needs to remove the license plate? If I buy the product I think I am going to attach with velcro or think of something else so it can be removable.
To achieve a truly universal setup we designed the light the way you see it in our videos. I typically just clamp the light with the license plate and not use the adhesive. I designed that tape in for worry warts but like I said I don't use it in my installations. If you ever go to sell the bike peel it off and the next owner can use the clamp method, or buy some double side tape. I think the velcro will be too thick and will bow out your plate excessively.
@@TSTindustries Good point thanks for the reply. I just finished ordering halo lights, fender eliminator and integrated tail light for my R3. Really excited.
So I installed a yoshi fender eliminator an had to slice the wires to make the license plate light work with the oem, will these still work or would I need to make some modification?
Our license plate light comes with posi tap connectors. You can use those to connect into license plate light circuit no matter what your current setup is
What is the legality of the license plate being illuminated by the LED taillights I picked up from you guys since the fender eliminator puts it in such close proximity to the light.
You probably want to check with your local DOT about that. I do believe that that the license plate needs to be illuminated with white light. If you are just using a taillight for license illumination you will be throwing red light on it.
TSTindustries Lol alright well your fender eliminator makes routing the license plate light wire easy so for now I'll just avoid riding past dusk. It gets super buggy here after dark anyways.
@ TSTIndustries When paired with the 2015 fz09 and the high license plate mount, the light doesnt have enough room between the bottom of the bike and the license plate mount. When i put the light on the plate, the plate was about a quarter of an inch below the license plate mount holes.
Why wouldn't you put the tape on the back side of the light that way you could mount it to the plate holder instead of the plate? Just ordered a bunch of stuff for my bike from you guys and was curious.
That tape is there for the worrier guys. We never actually use it in our installations, just use the clamp force. When i designed the light i played with a few configurations including tape on back. For the matrix of design objectives i was going for with a universal license light the tape to the inside won out.
I just purchased this light, I am hoping it can, however I would prefer a more permanent mounting that doesn't have a lot of chance of being removed, would it also work perfectly fine on the back of your TST FENDER ELIMINATOR / LICENSE PLATE BRACKET 2005-2006 ZX6R?
I have OEM exhaust on my 2009 honda cbr600. Mounted the intergrated tail light and tst license plate bracket. When installing the light for the license plate. I ran across the issue that the exhaust is extremely close to the license plate and lightcable. What would be the best way to avoid that issue and prevent the cable from burning due to the heat of the exhaust?
@@TSTindustries my issue isn't routing the cable to the harness it's the bracket and license plate being way to close to the exhaust. I drilled the holes on the case with the template it came with but it would still be too close.
@@fsmanzanares1 you can try and use a washer or two to space the bracket off of the servo case if you’re worried about heat exposure or the wires melting. As long as none of the components are ready on the exhaust, you should be fine. We’ve been selling this system for close to a decade with no issues.
If you try to do this with a 2021 ninja 400 it's very difficult. I ended up cutting off the plug from the oem plate light and doing this setup with that plug then attaching the plug into the bike's plug. Just make sure you know you're not going to use the oem plate light anymore.
Is that because of the wonky location of the harness side connector in the subframe? I have found that to be cumbersome as well. There is an option to retract the wires and connectors to the forward compartment under driver seat and make the connection with access there. You seem to have found a good solution though so you're probably all set.
@@TSTindustries yea it was very difficult to get remotely close to the bike's plug so I couldn't attach the red adapters to it. Once I finished it up I just put electrical tape over the exposed ends of the oem plate light plug I cut off and everything seems to work just fine
Only thing I’ve found an issue on is I ordered the whole tail kit for a 2020 R3 and there isn’t anywhere to put the wires through in the fender eliminator kit into the back of the bike and you have to drill a small hole unless I’m not seeing something.
@@TSTindustries I did see that yes the fender eliminator I bought doesn’t come with a pre drilled hole. Thanks for the enthusiastic response I guess lol
On the 2022 zx6r, the wires in the harness are too short for the attachments that came with the kit. Is there a way to pull the connector from the oem fender and just wire the plate light into the connector so it just clips in like the oem connection?
Yea you can absolutely do that but I'm surprised that you aren't able to reach the license plate light wires to your connector. With the length of wire that comes on the license plate light you are likely to reach the gas tank routing through the bike, and the stock license light connector is in the subframe area.
@@TSTindustries I can reach them, but they are so short, they don't stick out of the rubber weather proof cover far enough to put the attachments on. It wouldn't budge when I tried pulling for extra slack.
You can just tap in under the seat into the running light circuit of the tail light. That is the easiest method. I do recommend that you retract the unused wire pair from the swingarm though and reel it into the subtray. Connecting int there is in fact better and it doesn't leave an unused/unsealed plug on the swingarm.
I drilled very small holes in my license plate thru the mounting side of the light so when I change plates I only have to make a hole in the new plate and gives more security with holding
Hi where is the hole where I can route the wire through at the undertail? I have the exact same model R3 with fender eliminator and integrated lights from your company and can’t find that opening. Let me know thanks!
Please watch the fender eliminator video for that answer. If you are asking about the R3 then the installation video of the fender eliminator shows what to do.

I have 2015 honda cbr600rr and if you put this fender eliminator with light and keep original stock exhaust you will have your fuse blown. It happened to me because wire from license light is too close to exhaust and gets overheated quickly. I used to fuses before I noticed damaged wire under exhaust. Any recommendation how to secure it?
Please reposition your license plate mount to create a gap between it and the exhaust. You can also mount the license plate light off center to ensure these parts aren't close to the midpipe.
TSTindustries to be honest it's hard to achieve a big difference. I ordered a heat insulation tube. Will try that, or maybe put the light at the bottom of license plate. It would be cool, if you put disclaimer or note to aware people.
toxibeet you are the first person that reported this issue. We have sold these setups to other 600rr owners with the OEM exhaust and they were able to make it work. Maybe we can get some photos of your setup to analyze and suggest what to do.
Is it possible to have the plate light shipped already connected to the tail light if both are purchased together? I own a 2015 drz400 so the tail light uses the same for the plate light
+Billy Walsh We would have to custom configure that for you. This week we are getting ready for a big race but if you contact us through the help center on our website next week we could help you out. The license plate light is really easy to connect yourself so if you can't wait you can do it yourself.
For some reason i CANNOT get this to fit my 2011 CBR600rr. I have the TST fender eliminator (barely fits) and there simply isn't enough room for this light. On the installation video, the bike has a TOCE exhaust but I have an Akra, and it takes up A LOT more space. Super frustrating.
+RanochVTX We made this light to be universal. We could have designed it in a way that it only fit our plate brackets but then people who have other brand brackets would not be able to use it. The way we decided to have it work is universal across any plate bracket.
TSTindustries , I bought your hyperpack with Toce exhaust and bracket B in front of tire. I understand you made the light universal but I made one slight modification. I removed the double sided tape you provided on the tag side and I put new double sided tape on the back of the tag light. I fitted the light to the tag, peeled of red covering from the tape I put on the back of the light bracket, lined up the tag and and light to the installed bracket and then bolted on the tag which sandwiched to the bracket and is now taped to the bracket so I can remove my tag and the light is still wired no problem. The lighted is still sandwiched while riding with the tag installed. And, if I sell the bike, I can remove my tag without a light stuck to it. The light will be stuck to the bracket and they can just put on their tag like normal. You may want to sell to versions, one with tape on front of light and one with it in the back and show a video like my install. Just trying to help out and I love all your videos. Great work and excellent quality, very pleased.
TSTindustries why didn't you put the adhesive on the back side so it sticks to the mounting bracket. It's still universal but then you don't have have to buy a new light if you get a new license plate?
If you review the video I am providing a link to, the instructions how to select the license plate wires on the MT07 start at about 5:30 ruclips.net/video/M9W-RDVGIfg/видео.html ...and they should be dark blue / black
This light and either installation method can be used on street or track bikes. The signal wires and the signal functions work independently from the license plate light.
Giovanni Bayolo the FZ09 has a dedicated pair for a license plate light. they terminate in insulated bullet connectors. the pair you are looking for is the only one that is not in a plastic plug.
The method is pretty much the same on every bike but the R3 and FZ07 vary a little in the connector their license plate lights use. The FZ07 has a pair of bullet connectors for the license light. The R3 uses a two conductor Sumitomo plug to make that connection on the OEM equipment. My best recommendation for ease of installation is to snip off a bit of the wire along with the OEM connector and connect your license plate light into that section using the Posi connectors we provide in the kit.
It will but it will be perpetually on. When you turn off your bike it will not shut off. Eventually it will drain your battery if you leave your bike parked for a while.
We have spares that we can provide but if you want a local source I think Autozone may have posi products in stock in the various electrical connections isle.
Unless your exhaust is constantly touching the light or spitting flames out, you should'nt experience a situation where that is a realistic possibility. -TST
For fitment purposes, we highly suggest using the Stealth License Plate Light. Keeping the stock license plate light would require extensive mods with no garuntee of success.
the only issue I'm having is the light touches the stock exhaust. so I'm assuming it's going to melt the wire and do damage. but I can't move it anyway to not touch with the stock exhaust. I'm concerned lol
You would have to wire in a switch and remember to turn it on when you want it on. Theoretically a photo sensor can be wired in with a relay to control the light. Turn it on when it's dark and shut it off when it's light out. Why do you want this functionality? The light draws about 100 mA.
TSTindustries just thought that after a while it would pull too much from the baterry and limit the life of the light. Knowing the info you just gave me I should be good
TSTindustries, I was wondering the same thing. Won't trying them the wrong way blown the fuse? I have had the tissue in the past with a bulb style tailight
They are included with some of our products that need a way to connect them in without the use of OEM connectors. We have an OE deal with Posi-products to use their connectors in our assemblies. Outside of that we do not retail them. I do think that you can get them on Ebay in sets.
pretty dissappointed with this product, not only is it nearly impossible to get to the wire on the 2022 model, but i also received the wrong size posi taps and the wire just falls right out of them
I really hate to ask this I’m sure it’s covered in this thread, but I am getting ready to do a complete fender eliminator with the integrated tail light from TST industries. My bike is a 2022 CBR 600 RR US edition and I was wondering if somebody could tell me the color code for the wires for the integrated low profile TST license plate light to the CBR wires. I don’t wanna pop a fuse, any help would be greatly appreciated and I think anyone that answers his question in advance, thanks again, everybody ride safe
It can be purchased directly through our website. You can click the link below to view the product page: tstindustries.com/Stealth-Universal-Fit-License-Plate-Light.html
I have a 2015 Yamaha FZ-09, I understand how to install it, the only thing I can’t figure out is how to connect the wires? Do I just shove them in there and place the red things on? Idk, didn’t seem possible. Anyone else have trouble?
How hard would it be for you guys to sell OEM pigtails for tha major manufacturers? Those taps look cheap and compromise the OEM harness. Cutting ruins the OEM part that may ge needed later.
It's not hard but requires several additional layers of complication. There is a need for managing stock levels of all the different connectors, researching and making individual SKUs for the lights with different connectors, additional labor to install connectors+quality control the installation+appropriately package and label each kit, and a few more that create the extra work that increases the price of what is meant to be a truly universal, simple, elegant, and affordable kit. It is far more prudent to oblige to a customer's specific need if one like yours arises. Maybe if you email us your needs we can get you a license plate light setup with the appropriate connector for your bike.
You can always install our license plate light without using the adhesive tape. The clamping force between the license plate and our bracket will keep the light in place.
Because we would have to make about a hundred different versions of it to fit all the applications with a dedicated connector. Pretty much every bike model uses a different type of connector.
I just put this on my 2020 Kawasaki ninja ZX-6R and it will turn on when I turn the bike on but turns back off after a few seconds, anyone got any troubleshooting suggestions?
That sounds like it is connected to the wrong wire pair but my assessment can't be conclusive without a couple steps to verify some things. If you reach out to our custome service guys they will have you verify a few things and get you a solution.
Those small posi tap connections are a pain in the ass if they fall. I just experienced that. And I'm not willing to take out the battery and whatever else it fell under. So gonna have to buy some more.
TSTindustries lol I know. I like them alot. it's just a cap dropped out of my hand and went somewhere. and it was needed for the taillights but being Thursday and posi productions shipping two business days minimum I'm guessing. I am forced to splice my wires cause I got a long drive in a few days.
it wouldn't be a 30A fuse. Mr on the order of 10-15. try the other fuses. Also check your connections. You can't blow the fuse if you wire the light in backwards so you might have touched a harness side positive lead to ground. be careful not to do that on subsequent attempts.
Just wanted to send my sincere gratitude for you guys. You've set precedence for affordable mods for motorcycles. I purchased relay, stealth plate light, fender eliminator, integrated turn signal, and flush turn signals. other than a little hiccup with finding the fuse box, it all went perfectly. You guys take the initiative to provide these tutorials to keep the consumers informed. I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to more products in the future.
You guys should really try to make a holder with the light attached already, because if you are trying to sell the bike and you have this light on the plate itself then the light becomes pointless for the other person.
In our installations we never use the hi-bond tape on the light. That was placed there for those over cautious customers. The clamping force of the license plate is more than adequate for installation. This also makes the light reusable.
+TheCONtwo two production prototypes are sitting on the engineer's desk. The soonest we can get an FZ-07 in the shop to validate the production pieces is the first week of January. Once that is done the fender eliminators will be made available in a week or two.
+TSTindustries awesome it will give me time to buy the integrated brake/turn light I just got the flush front light. I'm excited to get the rest, any idea on how much the fender eliminator will cost?
TheCONtwo It is a little early to say but just so you have a ballpark the standard version will be around the cost of our Elite-1 fender eliminator for the R6, and the fully adjustable billet aluminum system will be a little more. We already have a good prototype of our integrated taillight for that bike also. A few things need adjustment and one more prototype iteration but overall we are happy with how it is turning out. We should have that unit on the market late spring or early summer.
nice light. why not snip the female end off the oem license plate light, splice the led to that, plug into male connector with no taps? i guess if you were going to sell the tail that would not be good, but, it would make a clean install.
We noted your comment. Maybe we will take some time to shoot some video in the darkness and post as a separate video. For now all I can offer you is a photo of this part in the darkness. This photo can be found on the product page on our site. Here is the link tstindustries.com/TST-LED-Stealth-Universal-Fit-License-Plate-Light.html
If you do some research into digital photography or videography, you will see that in the dark camera sensors will not represent a light the same way the human eye does. We can play with the settings to make something appear on the screen but it will not be true to what the human eye captures.
We’ve sold so many of these lights we’ve lost count. If you received a bad one, that would covered by warranty if proof is shown but to call it a lemon or “pos” is a reach. Reach out to our Support Team and they can try to help you out if you are open to receiving troubleshooting directions. A quick way to verify the light works is by jumping it directly to your battery. If it powers on, your connection method is bad.
I have done many installations on Ninja 400 so i dont know what your particular issue is. I propose you reach out to our customer servidlce department for some help.

TSTindustries to be honest it's hard to achieve a big difference. I ordered a heat insulation tube. Will try that, or maybe put the light at the bottom of license plate. It would be cool, if you put disclaimer or note to aware people.
toxibeet you are the first person that reported this issue. We have sold these setups to other 600rr owners with the OEM exhaust and they were able to make it work. Maybe we can get some photos of your setup to analyze and suggest what to do.
Is it possible to have the plate light shipped already connected to the tail light if both are purchased together? I own a 2015 drz400 so the tail light uses the same for the plate light
+Billy Walsh We would have to custom configure that for you. This week we are getting ready for a big race but if you contact us through the help center on our website next week we could help you out. The license plate light is really easy to connect yourself so if you can't wait you can do it yourself.
For some reason i CANNOT get this to fit my 2011 CBR600rr. I have the TST fender eliminator (barely fits) and there simply isn't enough room for this light. On the installation video, the bike has a TOCE exhaust but I have an Akra, and it takes up A LOT more space. Super frustrating.
Those electrical tap-ins look dope af!!!!
I'm disappointed that the light's adhesive is applied to the license plate itself. I was hoping it applied to the plate holder.
+RanochVTX We made this light to be universal. We could have designed it in a way that it only fit our plate brackets but then people who have other brand brackets would not be able to use it. The way we decided to have it work is universal across any plate bracket.
My thoughts exact
TSTindustries , I bought your hyperpack with Toce exhaust and bracket B in front of tire. I understand you made the light universal but I made one slight modification. I removed the double sided tape you provided on the tag side and I put new double sided tape on the back of the tag light. I fitted the light to the tag, peeled of red covering from the tape I put on the back of the light bracket, lined up the tag and and light to the installed bracket and then bolted on the tag which sandwiched to the bracket and is now taped to the bracket so I can remove my tag and the light is still wired no problem. The lighted is still sandwiched while riding with the tag installed. And, if I sell the bike, I can remove my tag without a light stuck to it. The light will be stuck to the bracket and they can just put on their tag like normal. You may want to sell to versions, one with tape on front of light and one with it in the back and show a video like my install. Just trying to help out and I love all your videos. Great work and excellent quality, very pleased.
TSTindustries why didn't you put the adhesive on the back side so it sticks to the mounting bracket. It's still universal but then you don't have have to buy a new light if you get a new license plate?
Michael Chen you don’t have to buy a new light it’s tape not JB weld, just peel it off.
Would you know if the color of the wires will be the same for the Yamaha MT07 2018?
If you review the video I am providing a link to, the instructions how to select the license plate wires on the MT07 start at about 5:30
ruclips.net/video/M9W-RDVGIfg/видео.html
...and they should be dark blue / black
i really want to do method #2 on my bike but i didnt see any blinkers installed. Are these mods mostly meant for just track bikes?
This light and either installation method can be used on street or track bikes. The signal wires and the signal functions work independently from the license plate light.
on youre page it says "on any sportbike" will this work on a cruiser? my guess yes :)
Yes. Any vehicle that has a 12v electrical system can use these lights.
How do we connect this to the fz09? The fz09 has 3 wires in the rear. A black, red and brown I believe. Please help!
Giovanni Bayolo the FZ09 has a dedicated pair for a license plate light. they terminate in insulated bullet connectors. the pair you are looking for is the only one that is not in a plastic plug.
No
Is the r3 installation the same as yamaha fz 07?
Do I have to solder the connection?
The method is pretty much the same on every bike but the R3 and FZ07 vary a little in the connector their license plate lights use. The FZ07 has a pair of bullet connectors for the license light. The R3 uses a two conductor Sumitomo plug to make that connection on the OEM equipment. My best recommendation for ease of installation is to snip off a bit of the wire along with the OEM connector and connect your license plate light into that section using the Posi connectors we provide in the kit.
will it still work if i connect it straight to the battery?
It will but it will be perpetually on. When you turn off your bike it will not shut off. Eventually it will drain your battery if you leave your bike parked for a while.
The installation for the r3 would be very similar to a ninja 300 right?
Yes it is very similar. the N300 just has a different OEM plug from what I remember.
hey i was looking at this, how would it be installed for my ninja 400 2018?
This part is so easy to install on just about any bike using the universal instructions in this video that we don't make model specific videos.
Great tutorial! I added this to my bike! I did a walkaround highlighting a few of TST’s products. Check it out and let me know what y’all think.
My light only came with 1 posi tap, can i get the size so i can order it online please
What exactly do you call that red connector?
Posi-tap made by an American company called Posi Products
Where can i get some of those wire connector? I lost mine lol
We have spares that we can provide but if you want a local source I think Autozone may have posi products in stock in the various electrical connections isle.
Won't the exhaust melt the light?
Unless your exhaust is constantly touching the light or spitting flames out, you should'nt experience a situation where that is a realistic possibility. -TST
hi
i want to know if i can keep the original license light. thanks
For fitment purposes, we highly suggest using the Stealth License Plate Light. Keeping the stock license plate light would require extensive mods with no garuntee of success.
the only issue I'm having is the light touches the stock exhaust. so I'm assuming it's going to melt the wire and do damage. but I can't move it anyway to not touch with the stock exhaust. I'm concerned lol
see my answer under the question you posted in the other video
Nice video. May I know if you ship your products to another country?
Yes, we do ship to several countries around the world.
Is there a way to not have the license plate light run in the day time
You would have to wire in a switch and remember to turn it on when you want it on. Theoretically a photo sensor can be wired in with a relay to control the light. Turn it on when it's dark and shut it off when it's light out. Why do you want this functionality? The light draws about 100 mA.
TSTindustries just thought that after a while it would pull too much from the baterry and limit the life of the light. Knowing the info you just gave me I should be good
I have a 2019 Honda cbr600rr and it has it's own separate light. I cant get it to come on
You are going to have to elaborate on your statement. I can't determine the objective of your statement.
What gauge posi tap did you use? Thanks.
18-22
Is this on the r7
Can I get pullover for not having a motorcycle plate light?
You would have to check your local laws on that matter.
Hello Bart, I have ordered one for my FZ 07. How do I know which wire to connect to the wire of the bike? Thank you.
you can try it one way and if you don't get the light to come on switch polarity
TSTindustries Thank you for your response. I will do it this weekend :)
TSTindustries, I was wondering the same thing. Won't trying them the wrong way blown the fuse? I have had the tissue in the past with a bulb style tailight
@tstindustries where can I buy the
Posse tab connectors?
They are included with some of our products that need a way to connect them in without the use of OEM connectors. We have an OE deal with Posi-products to use their connectors in our assemblies. Outside of that we do not retail them. I do think that you can get them on Ebay in sets.
TSTindustries if I purchase the fender eliminator+the stealth light Will the posi tab comes with it?
the license plate light comes with two of the posi-tap connectors included in the kit
How do you turn it off and on when you want ?
@@tzx1758 you don’t. You would have to disconnect it.
My liscence plate light doesn’t light up when I start my bike but they work when my emergency lights are on is that normal ?
That isn't normal. The license plate light should be lit whenever the tail light running light is lit. You must have wired to the wrong set of wires.
pretty dissappointed with this product, not only is it nearly impossible to get to the wire on the 2022 model, but i also received the wrong size posi taps and the wire just falls right out of them
Wait y’all ride with plates ??
I really hate to ask this I’m sure it’s covered in this thread, but I am getting ready to do a complete fender eliminator with the integrated tail light from TST industries. My bike is a 2022 CBR 600 RR US edition and I was wondering if somebody could tell me the color code for the wires for the integrated low profile TST license plate light to the CBR wires. I don’t wanna pop a fuse, any help would be greatly appreciated and I think anyone that answers his question in advance, thanks again, everybody ride safe
where i can buy a set lights like this?
It can be purchased directly through our website. You can click the link below to view the product page:

I have a 2015 Yamaha FZ-09, I understand how to install it, the only thing I can’t figure out is how to connect the wires? Do I just shove them in there and place the red things on? Idk, didn’t seem possible. Anyone else have trouble?
How hard would it be for you guys to sell OEM pigtails for tha major manufacturers? Those taps look cheap and compromise the OEM harness. Cutting ruins the OEM part that may ge needed later.
It's not hard but requires several additional layers of complication. There is a need for managing stock levels of all the different connectors, researching and making individual SKUs for the lights with different connectors, additional labor to install connectors+quality control the installation+appropriately package and label each kit, and a few more that create the extra work that increases the price of what is meant to be a truly universal, simple, elegant, and affordable kit. It is far more prudent to oblige to a customer's specific need if one like yours arises. Maybe if you email us your needs we can get you a license plate light setup with the appropriate connector for your bike.
can I use this light for my jeep????
I don't see why not
TSTindustries thank you
you're welcome
Anybody know the wire awg size rating for these posi-taps?
Posi-taps are made in many different awg size ranges. You can just get the ones that fit your need.
What if you sell the bike? How are you going to get the plate off?
You can always install our license plate light without using the adhesive tape. The clamping force between the license plate and our bracket will keep the light in place.
Why didn't you guys make it a plug a play. Why not just add a connector to the 2 wires?
Because we would have to make about a hundred different versions of it to fit all the applications with a dedicated connector. Pretty much every bike model uses a different type of connector.
I just put this on my 2020 Kawasaki ninja ZX-6R and it will turn on when I turn the bike on but turns back off after a few seconds, anyone got any troubleshooting suggestions?
That sounds like it is connected to the wrong wire pair but my assessment can't be conclusive without a couple steps to verify some things. If you reach out to our custome service guys they will have you verify a few things and get you a solution.
It’s the same wire but different colors in a different place on the back of my 2020 but I’ll contact Your service tram
Nice install vide.
Those small posi tap connections are a pain in the ass if they fall. I just experienced that. And I'm not willing to take out the battery and whatever else it fell under. So gonna have to buy some more.
They are the most convenient universal connector. If you've ever used any alternatives you could probably appreciate the ease of the posi-taps
TSTindustries lol I know. I like them alot. it's just a cap dropped out of my hand and went somewhere. and it was needed for the taillights but being Thursday and posi productions shipping two business days minimum I'm guessing. I am forced to splice my wires cause I got a long drive in a few days.
We can send you two extras if you would like but that won't really help you with the ride you are taking
TSTindustries I'll just order some later. I can splice it now and fix it later.
I may have blown a fuse wiring the light. it doesn't look like my 30A fuse is blown in my CBR600RR 2003. Any ideas? Desperate here.
it wouldn't be a 30A fuse. Mr on the order of 10-15. try the other fuses. Also check your connections. You can't blow the fuse if you wire the light in backwards so you might have touched a harness side positive lead to ground. be careful not to do that on subsequent attempts.
Found the fuse box on the left side under fairing. Fuse was blown. Thanks.
Ross Langley cool. I'm glad you got it sorted
Just wanted to send my sincere gratitude for you guys. You've set precedence for affordable mods for motorcycles. I purchased relay, stealth plate light, fender eliminator, integrated turn signal, and flush turn signals. other than a little hiccup with finding the fuse box, it all went perfectly. You guys take the initiative to provide these tutorials to keep the consumers informed. I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to more products in the future.
This doesn't really help me with a Gen 5 zx10. Different set up
You can watch our 16+ zx10 fender eliminator videos and get the jist
@@TSTindustries Do I need a plug to connect the 2 wires from the TST plate light to the plug in on the bike?
@@faint442008 not of you use the positap connectors we supply with the license plate light.
You guys should really try to make a holder with the light attached already, because if you are trying to sell the bike and you have this light on the plate itself then the light becomes pointless for the other person.
In our installations we never use the hi-bond tape on the light. That was placed there for those over cautious customers. The clamping force of the license plate is more than adequate for installation. This also makes the light reusable.
Cool I would not use wing nuts to hold my plate on preventing license plate theft!
If that isn't your flavor then we have these: tstindustries.com/tst-anodized-license-plate-mounting-hardware.html
do you guys have the fender eliminator for an fz-07
Coming soon...
+TSTindustries ahhhhhi need it now I plan on buying the turn signals and plate light I need a fender eliminator.
+TheCONtwo two production prototypes are sitting on the engineer's desk. The soonest we can get an FZ-07 in the shop to validate the production pieces is the first week of January. Once that is done the fender eliminators will be made available in a week or two.
+TSTindustries awesome it will give me time to buy the integrated brake/turn light I just got the flush front light. I'm excited to get the rest, any idea on how much the fender eliminator will cost?
TheCONtwo It is a little early to say but just so you have a ballpark the standard version will be around the cost of our Elite-1 fender eliminator for the R6, and the fully adjustable billet aluminum system will be a little more. We already have a good prototype of our integrated taillight for that bike also. A few things need adjustment and one more prototype iteration but overall we are happy with how it is turning out. We should have that unit on the market late spring or early summer.
nice light. why not snip the female end off the oem license plate light, splice the led to that, plug into male connector with no taps? i guess if you were going to sell the tail that would not be good, but, it would make a clean install.
Did you watch the entire video? We connected the oem plug in the third variation of the installation at timestamp 27:25.
Apologies. Thank you for correcting me. I still love your products.
No worries buddy. We try to do a comprehensive job on each video. If we miss something we like to know about it from our viewers.
Really don't want to cut any OEM wires.....
You do not have to cut anything. Our posi-tap connectors do not require cutting.
23:47 just posting this for future reference
Low key intro music is the same as chilledchaos'
It would be nice if you let us view it in the dark..
We noted your comment. Maybe we will take some time to shoot some video in the darkness and post as a separate video. For now all I can offer you is a photo of this part in the darkness. This photo can be found on the product page on our site. Here is the link tstindustries.com/TST-LED-Stealth-Universal-Fit-License-Plate-Light.html
The picture is fine, nice to see. Just some constructive criticism for light products in general :)
If you do some research into digital photography or videography, you will see that in the dark camera sensors will not represent a light the same way the human eye does. We can play with the settings to make something appear on the screen but it will not be true to what the human eye captures.
Bad tutorial, needs to be updated for newer versions that do not have the same wire setup (2021-23)
There are 3 installation methods shown...
This light is a pos did everything step for step and does not work tst lemon
We’ve sold so many of these lights we’ve lost count. If you received a bad one, that would covered by warranty if proof is shown but to call it a lemon or “pos” is a reach. Reach out to our Support Team and they can try to help you out if you are open to receiving troubleshooting directions. A quick way to verify the light works is by jumping it directly to your battery. If it powers on, your connection method is bad.
make sure you include that it is impossible to connect on a ninja 400 next time. just wasted 2 1/2 hours of my fucking life
I have done many installations on Ninja 400 so i dont know what your particular issue is. I propose you reach out to our customer servidlce department for some help.
Where can I get those connectors your using to connect the wires? I need them ASAP please.
If you need them locally I believe auto parts stores have them
They are called posi-tap by posi-products brand. You can also go to their website to find local dealers.
