Hi all

Does anyone know how to get all 4 rear lights lit up when braking?

I heard it's possible, however the brake light bulbs are easily blown if not done correctly, especially if the parking lights are on.

Is there a guide on how to do this properly?

Thanks

getting my dad to do this for me as he loves these kinda things.

from what i know what you will need is 2 double filament globes (same as you normal brake light but a size smaller so it fists the hole) and an inline fuse and globe holder.

locate which wire is the brake line wire splice into it it and run the wires to the right fittings int he new globe holder thing and presto.

its easy to do and kinda fiddley thats why my dads doing it for me lol but ye if no one has done this by next sunday ill have mine done by then and will put up a detailed instruction.

checked mine last night and all four tails brighten up when i brake, plus the small light top of boot lights up.

is that a standard thing on gtt? or is it gtt 4 door or has mine been modified i wonder??? I know i didnt do it... Pic below any help???

I think all 4 door has 4 lighting up cause that's the first thing I notice when I see a 4 door. Haven't seen any 2 door with 4 lighting up so far. Loved to do it to mine.. I thought it was just splicing the smaller light wire and join it to the main brake wire. I mean the ground wire of those 2.

All four stay lit as in when you hit the brakes?

It'd be interesting to see if there are any noticable changes to the wiring.

Wouldn't happen to have time to take some pics would you? :)

as in the two smaller ones stay lit.. but don't go bright when i brake like the big ones..

i only noticed this when i replaced with just jap LED ones.. but am unsure if they were always like it.. i'm sure i could take a pic of the wires

Oh I think what you're talking about is the normal setup.

Both the outer and inner circles are lit when you have your lights on.. but when you hit the brakes, only the outer ones will go brighter.

I'm hoping to wire it so that even when I don't have the parkers on and I hit the brakes, all four will light up.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
