Description

Almost every bike in the US has a brake light / indicator combination in the way that 2 lamps works as brake light and as indicator as well. This makes a conversion of an imported bike according to the requirements in the EU a bit tricky and cost intensive due to some additional wiring and workshop time.

The Rear Light EU-V is a module for vintage bikes w/o emergency flasher function. It converts the two signals from the original flasher / brake light combination in four separate outputs for brake light / rear light and indicators. A conversion of a US bike according to the requirements in the EU is much easier and less cost intensive with this new module.

A brake light dim function can be activated. In this case the brightness of the brake light is dimmed down to 30% if no brake switch is to be pressed. This allows the user to just wire one cable to the brake light. You can activate the function if you wire this cable to ground or disable this function if the green cable is unconnected.

A brake light flasher function can be activated by wiring the orange cable to ground. The brake light will flash 3 times fast before it stays on. This increase the visibility of your bike for the following traffic and is a safety plus.

Note: This module is not made for US cars. Please use the Rear Light EU-CS for a car conversation.

You might need to wire resistors from the indicator inputs to ground if you have a bike with traditional light bulbs. These resistors let the BCM module “think”, that the light bulbs are ok due to the burned power in the resistors. The BCM module will increase the flasher frequency to the indicators or to the dashboard indicator LED without the resistors and show you that the bulb is defective. However, the BCM module doesn´t know it better in this case. The most bulbs have 21 Watt which result in a resistor value of 6,8 Ohm which you can use. Many car BCM accept also 8,2 Ohm or 10 Ohm resistors which produce a bit less heat. Please take care that the resistor can handle a least 25 Watt power.
