A resistor is non-directional. It needs to be wired in parallel with the light. The LED light is polarized and needs + to +, - to -.
Code:
+12V ----+----| R LED+ R LED- GND ----+----| |

Does that resistor have 2 wires from each end?
If so, then take the +12V from the bike and hook it to any of the 4 available wires. Then hook the LED positive (looks like yellow in your pic?) to the other red wire on the same side of the resistor as the +12V. Now hook the bike ground to one of the other two remaining wires on the resistor, then the LED negative to the last red resistor wire. Edit: like this pic- Last futzed with by jonglauser; September 26th, 2012 at 01:47 PM. Reason: adding pic |
