Default Tour Pak wiring

I'm thinking of mounting a led 3 wire running/brake light bar to my tour pak. Would splicing into the tour pak lights (the non led tour pak lights) work? If so, what are the 3 wires- red with yellow stripe, blue, black? One should be ground, one running, the other brake. The United Pacific led light bar has 3 wires, red, black white. Which goes where?

I just put the Air Wing led light in mine. It came with a "Y" to connect if you had lights in the TP. I have the EGC so I just plugged into the connector but if I had the ultra the directions said to use this Y splitter for the 3 wires. You just need the male connector end which is no big deal.

With my voltage tester I determined that:
red/yellow stripe wire is the brake light
blue wire is the running light
black wire is the ground

The United Pacific 12" led light bar (part #39607) with 3 wires:
red wire connects to the brake light wire
black wire connects to the running light wire
white wire is the ground

In the absence of a 3-way connector, splicing worked just fine.
VERY bright brake light with 14 high intensity leds mounted under the tour pak is subtle but effective.

Take a couple of pictures and/or a short video clip of what you installed; folks are always looking for tour pak lighting products.

Congrats on your installation.

Yes you can tap into your tour pak wiring, I did and it works great,,you can use a test light to figure out what wire does what if you need to,,,
