2016 NC700X/D has LED tail light. Plus side, it looks great, and it's bright! Down side, apparently, it uses some sort of PWM module (I think...) to control the brightness and renders most of third party flasher out there obsolete.
The LED brake light has 3 wires going into it: Black, Green/Black, and Blue/Black. My best guess so far is that Black = Ground, Green/Black = Brake light, and Blue/Black = Tail light.
Module I have tried is the G-force flasher from XDP: Vehicle Brake Light Flasher Module with brake force monitor Vehicle Brake Light Flasher Module with Brake Force Trigger. [FLSHR_G1] - $29.95 : 3rd Brake Flasher Web Site
The first module I have tried with the Green wire, the brake light works normally as if the module isn't there. Connecting to the Blue wire causing the light to flash AFTER letting go of the brake, flashing the dimmed tail light.
So the module only work on the lower power tail light, but won't flash with higher power when brake is applied.
The guys at XDP sent me a second module, thinking the first one must be defective but it has the same result. They concluded that the LED must be controlled by PWM to dim the tail light, interfering with their flasher module.
Any idea what I should try next?
