I took off my dash and replaced it with a carbon fiber dash. I hooked up the red and green indicater lights the way they were before, but now when the bike is off and the key is on the green light stays on no matter what gear I'm in. The red light has not came on at all but I don't think it would anyways. Any ideas?

Shift your bike into neutral with bike off, key on. If the red light lights up, you've switched wires to the red and green lights. I hope it's that simple.

These lights are polarity sensitive too, I have my dash out now and made sure to note which wires go where, let me know if you need this info

I believe these lights to be LED's (light emmiting diodes) any diode will only flow currant in one direction, in other words there is a plus side and a minus side. on both the green and red lights was hand writen a + sign on the white plastic divider on one side only. hook up a red with blue tracer wire (there two of them) to this + side on both lights, connect the yellow with blue tracer wire to the other side of the green light, connect the black with white tracer to the other side of the red light, that is how they are connected on my quad. hope this is clear, let us know if that fix's it
