Hi, I am currently trying to connect indicator/reverse light in one LED strip to my ute canopy. The LED strip lights have a red/black/yellow wire.
I am confused because the black/yellow wires are both negative(black for indicator LEDs and yellow for reverse LEDs). The red wire is positive for both rows. I thought it should be opposite to that. On the vehicle this makes it hard for me to connect to the common negative circuit and have the positives controlled individually by indicator and reverse switches.
Is there anything I can do to make these lights function properly? Hope this all makes sense. Or are they a design fault as they should have one common negative and two separate positives to power LEDs individually? Your help is greatly appreciated. Worst case senario I can use them as JUST indicators or JUST reverse lights at this stage.
Thanks, Shane.
