Have you got access to a multieter?
If so, check the voltage between the two wires you are trying to use on the bike is 12V (with the brake light on).
If so, connect it up and check again, (with the brake light on)
If it's still not working, check the voltage between the two wires as close to the LED light as possible - again it should be 12V.
If it's 12V there, you've got a faulty unit
If at any point you stop getting 12V, sample around a bit until you can confirm exactly where the voltage drops off - it'll probably be somewhere in the new wiring. Bingo! You've found your problem. Depending on where it is, you may be able to bypass the problem section with a new piece of wire.
