last week I lost my tail light while riding, so I bought another online to replace it. yesterday I spent 2 hrs trying to hook it up, then gave in.

The original tail light had 2 wires, low beam, high beam and the ground hook up. The new one I bought has 3 wires, Im sure ground is 1 of the 3 (as shown in the pic). I tried every type of wire combination, but they all blew my fuse.

A few times, I hooked up the 2 wires, then when I pressed the brake, the light would turn off, instead of becoming brighter. Someone on here suggested I use a 12v source to check the wires, but the bike itself is all I have.

I wanna ride so bad. Pls help me. thanks
