    Is it possible to use this integrated taillight?

    I am looking at incorporating an integrated taillight from an 07-08 ZX6R into my '83 GS650L.

    The light and wiring looks like this: http://racingguys.onlinera.com/102-47108.gif

    Firstly, I already have hooked up some working led turn signals. I will probably just piggyback the integrated turn signals from the ZX6R unit onto my current turn signals and have twice the signal lighting. Where I am confused is when the item description tells me that just the blue and yellow wires control turn signals. How would I control both turn signals off of just 2 wires? I am guessing I would need to somehow use a diode but I'm just not sure. Any ideas?

    Also, do I need to make any modifications when going from a stock incandescent taillight to an LED one?

    Basically, I am wondering how I could wire this light to work with my GS. A quick sketch in MS paint would be probably be worth a million words.

    Thanks in advance!

    Okay, 2 seconds of google and I answered my own question. I will leave the post up in case anyone else attempts the same thing.

    Blue and yellow wires are both positive. The turn signals share the ground with the taillight.
