mark, the brake light switch sparks when brake lever comes into contact or just leaves switch..only when engine is running..

wires to brake switch, pink and brown (two browns)

wires to led light, black, pink, and a earth

if you touch the 2 browns and the pink out of the sitch together then the brake light should come on as if you have sparks at switch you must have power there. this means if you have connected the pink from rear light to pink from switch it should work

This might sound stupid and obvious, but make sure your earth is touching metal. I had that problem with my powdercoated frame. There was no way the earth wire could pick up the earth through the powdercoat!
