Elliot Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I'm confused! Am I right in thinking that driving around with the lights on, the four rear reds are always on, then when you brake 2 (outside 2?) go brighter? Last night 3 of mine were on permanently, but when breaking the one that wasn't working still lit up when I braked. I went to check the bulb today (it has 2 filaments) & that seems fine. I but it back in, and now only 2 are permanently lit when the lights are on!! (different red on each side) I haven't touched any wiring, and the indicator lights work fine Is there some sort of relay I should be checking? What should the combination be? Anyone had a similar problem? I can't understand why the combination would change (& no I haven't put the wrong bulbs in! ) Help me! I want to drive tonight!

Elliot Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 13 people have checked this out already, and not one person knows (or can check) the light combination? :thumbdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 All 4 red lights should come on all the time with side lights, they all go brighter, and the 5th brake light come on when you put the foot on the brake pedal. If you have another combination could be to do with a fog light conversion. Some conversions use a relay to switch 2 of the 4 round brake lights to fogs(permanently on). It all depends on the conversion you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so, they were all working fine until last night when one was out, (although the brake lights was still working for it) but now only 2 are working, but the brakes are! Strange eh!? Any ideas what's happened/happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 So all of the brake lights are working, all 5? It's just 2 of the normal running lights that are out? Do the fog lights work? (presuming you have the brake/fog conversion) Maybe you should swap the lamps around, just to see if a proven good lamp works in all positions. The only thing i can think of is a poor connection(s) to the fog lam relay, although this should only affect your fog?brake lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 I haven't had the foglight conversion yet (still waiting for the bits to turn up ) All the brake lights are working. I went out earlier and swapped the bulbs around so they match up on either side, so I guess there must be one broken filament out of two of the bulbs. Bit strange that they're suddenly breaking so easily! Are they quite fragile? Don't see why the normal filament would break, but not the brake filament. I'll buy two more from Halfrauds tomorrow & hopefully will all be sorted out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
