Anybody familiar with the type connection used for the rear lights on the 2012 Ice Bear Cyclone trike? Are they bullet connectors, or something else? My right rear signal does not flash. I tapped into the line with a tester, and I know it is getting power. I don't want to start pulling wires out of the light assembly without knowing what it looks like.

Can you see the BULBS that it uses, Most use 1158 and 1157 bulbs for the tailights and turn signals. IF so they are in a socket just like on a car. The bulb is probably burned out.

The 2012 Cyclone is a one piece LED light system for Tail light, brake lights, and signals. There are no bulbs to burn out. I think it's probably a connection , but I'd like to know what the connection looks like before I pull it out, if possible.
Thanks

Sorry, the person that might know is JIM from RapidRepair. Or someone that has one and has worked on the lighting in the back. But when you do get back there take some pictures so others will benefit and then know how-to. You may be the science project on this  ;D Alleyoop |

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]Jim, thanks for the pictures. I had that, but not as clear and it doesn't have the numbered index. Is the Molex Connector the connector in the bottom of the light assembly. There is one on each side of the assembly. If that's a Molex connector, how do I get it out. I don't want to break the connector. I'm sometimes stronger than I think and break things, especially plastic.

I don't have one to look at here at the shop and don't recall from memory.

[replyingto=rapidjim]RapidJim[/replyingto]Thanks any way, Jim. I took pics from underneath. They are twist out connectors.

Put up the pictures of the Connectors wo we can see what kind of twist connectors are on there. I am sure they will use the same connectors on others that they put LEDS in.

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]I'll send the pics of the connector as soon as I resize the files. The same rear lighting is used on the 300cc Zodiac and the 150cc PST150-19.

Yea the socket are like the ones I have on mine as well and they use the same thing on most of the cars.
I have four them, One on each side for the turn signals and the two in the middle for the Running lights and Stop Lights. And the bulbs I have in there Are Leds 1157 and 1158s

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]I have 2 sockets. One on each side. I pulled the right one out today. it is just a connector to wiring that goes up inside. Too dark in there to see any thing. I'm going to try to get some pictures tonight after dark. Hopefully the flash will light up the inside. I know what each of the colored wires are for. I don't want to start pulling wires out without knowing where they go.
