ST170 Dan Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 got a set of black mazda style lights, the brake light and the normal light are on the same bulb. they work independantly but not together ie when the lights are on you cant see the brake light. any idea why? have i set them up wrong?

badboyclub Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 you have a loom on each light try it on the other side had the same problem before and did that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cargy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 can u elaborate further, im not great at electronics!! If it's anything like mine were, half the pins in the new-to-old loom connections are in the wrong holes! You may need to swap some of them around, and I can't say which because both of my rear lights were mis-wired differently! Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST170 Dan Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 i had to swap the indicator and reverse bulb over coz they were the wrong way round, but not sure on the light/brake light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST170 Dan Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 right, swapped the loom over, one side is workin but other is not. for sum reason only half of my 3rd brake light (in boot window) is lighting up. wot have i dun wrong? how have i made such a mess out of a simple job?!!

Ferret-Si Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 seems like u may have a dodgy connection revert them to how they were and try checking the main plug, i had a fault with my orignal plug on the pass rear, had to remove the lights as they kept on cutting out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
