inside brake light Options

[ShadowFX]

hey, is this brake light supposed to light up?



only the brake light next to the indicator lights up for me when i have my ehadlights on, and when i brake. could i splice the existing brake light with this light? (theres a bulb in there already., so that they would both light up?

Yes you will loose them Illyont. I also tried to figure it out but the only answer i could make out of it is: Because JDM are RHD cars maybe the wiring for the Foglight is only on the right side Tail light. Maybe if you swap the wiring from both light it will work. But haven't tried it since my car does not need them for the yearly car check. Because its a pre 95 car

But Illyont of you use the existing wiring from your car and only swap the lights then thats not problem, but u wont have 2 brake lights on each side tho. To do that you have the crosswire them with Diodes or something. Dont know the details on that.

Edit: About the On topic question. Its indeed the Fog light. And a Fog light (in my country anyways) can only be put on the side you drive. So in a LHD car on the left and a RHD car on the right. So thats why the right side doesnt "work"

Using JDM lights does not mean no rear fogs. I have JDMs and fogs work. In my opinion it depends on wiring. I have my old wiring from European version, which has four bulbs:
- in the black plastic brace on the shortest wires from the plug - reverse lights
- all other have grey brace - second shortest is fog light, third - brakes, and the longest - turn light

I am planning to have brakes and fogs short-circuited with a diod to have nice five brake lights.
