Stelvio taillight voltages??

I'm thinking of adding some LED taillight functions to a Givi case. These folks http://www.admorelighting.com/index.php?page=products/index.php make kits to add turnsignal and brakelight/taillight function to Givi cases. I believe they're plug and play for regular taillights, but I seem to remember that the Stelvio (Norge too??) with it's LED taillights uses different voltages to function than just switched 12V controlled by the brake switch. I'm wondering if these units will create extra aggravation if I try to use them on the Stelvio or Norge??
 
I made up an LED license plate frame and wired it directly to the brake light. No problem on the Stelvio.

On the Norge (and maybe the Breva) they use the same set of LEDs for taillight and brakelight. They just use more current for the brakelight. Thus, there is some voltage present on the brakelight line when just the tailights are on. You need a diode to prevent that.
But on the Stelvio, there are seperate LEDs for the brakelight and taillight, so it doesn't appear there is an issue.

I think......
 
I tapped my tailight wiring to provide a key-on circuit to my Fuzeblock, which in turn powers my GPS and heated grips, no problems. You should be good to go.
