Yes they are polarity sensitive, red is positive though. Its been suggested you may have to extend the new light cables before they will reach the existing normally redundant third brake light socket located forward of the fuel tank sensor. The wiring schematic shows just 150mm of free cable after this connector exits the main rear loom. Its the one with green/purple +ve and black -ve wires. The connector is a two way Econoseal, hopefully loose pins and male part of connector were supplied otherwise you will have to order one which comes as a kit of individual parts.

While on the topic of wiring, has anyone done the SPA oil pressure / temp gauge? I'm looking for a recommendation for the best switchable power to wire the gauge. Thx

KBMOG & Planenut, thanks for the information. I did get the parts from Merlin and also have the article from MTWC. I think I've got everything sorted now, thanks for the advice. Now just need to figure out the best location for the gauge as I do have the Heritage dash. I'm likely going to create an enclosure for the gauge in the center behind the ECU. I'll post some pics if my upholstery skills prove worthy. Thanks again. Cheers.
