Is the license plate light supposed to come on, on a 2017 ZX-14R, when the ignition is turned "on", but the engine is not yet started?
I'm asking because I installed a Chinese LED license plate light on my ZX-14R. Despite trying to connect it first red-to-red and black-to black, and then reversing the polarity (in case the LED harness had been reverse wired in error), it does not light up either way, when the ignition key is turned on.
I know the headlights are not supposed to light up until the engine is started, but I notice that the taillight DOES come on when the ignition is turned on, before the engine is started.
Did I just get a defective LED light?
