So last week I decided to switch the lugs on my rims, seeing that they were a list rusty, and while I was I doing this, I noticed that my brake lights were out of sync/out of line...
Considering I'm never behind my car when it's being driven, I guess this makes sense to not notice this. It may help if I show some pictures of what I'm trying to describe: 1). Here's a representation of what my car's taillights look like when the headlights are on in the front ![]() 2). Here's what they look when I have my brake lights on ![]() With that said, this is probably an easy solution to fix, but I wanted to make sure that there weren't any major do's/don't's to wiring the brake lights/taillights, such as complications with the housings or the resistors/inhibitors. I've scrolled through some of the Celica pics here on 6Gs and I haven't found a good representation of what the taillights should look like when the brakes are on, so I've put together some more pictures of possible brake light options. Could you guys point me in the right direction as to how I should fix this problem, as well as how they should look like? A). All Lights (I'd pick this one if it's possible) ![]() B). Outer Lights ![]() C). Inner Lights ![]() Soon, I plan on switching out the bulbs with LEDs, like these: http://www.eautoworks.com/product-Led-33240.htm and eventually some JDM housings, but in the meantime, I'd like to fix this little brake light issue. Thanks in advance, -Miles This post has been edited by Celiquick: Mar 21, 2009 - 9:18 PM -------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
