Wiring rear brake light with AP rearsets

I did search - found nothing and I know that a few on here have done this...

The original rear brake switch is an "always on unless pressed" one, and with the relocation of the master cylinder etc, the AP kit comes with a pressure switch that fits on the mastercylinder. Done, no probs. However, the 2 wires that come from the pressure switch are both black, sooooo, does it matter which wire goes to which when I connect it to the existing switch loom?
I assume one wire is "live" and one "earth", so I would therefore conclude that if I wire it wrongly, then the circuit will be reversed, ie, pressure = brake light off, and no pressure = light on.

Any advice welcome, please. Thanks guys. :thumbup
 
Well, either I was REAL lucky, or it doesn't matter. For what its worth, the 2 that are connected to the OEM switch are the same colour as well, ergo I assume it sodesn't matter how they are wired up.

Give Aprilia Performance a shout, mate ;) IF its the OEM master cylinder, the switch that is with the kit fits, and I daresay they'll do spares ;)
