hey everyone,

wierd problem, my number plate lights have stopped working, along with 1 of the reverse lights .... has anyone incured this problem before?

I'm currently trying to find an english conversion/version of the interior fuse box to see if its a fuse problem, however a 'fuse' problem would tell me that "both" reverse lights shouldnt be working not just 1 or the other ..

did a search on here, and doesnt seem to be anyone posting this issue before, but i'm hoping someone might hvae some info on how to help with it...

cheers guys!!

reverse lights are powered thru a single 10A fuse (#71) in the fuse box behind the battery

number plate lights are powered thru a single 10A fuse (#75) in the same fuse box, which also powers your tail lights and parkers.

if either fuse was blown you would have many more lights not woking.

edit - it wont be a fuse problem but heres a quick tip. number plate bulb is a T10. you could swap it with your boot interior bulb to check if its a fuse or possibly a socket problem

reverse bulbs - just swap them around to check if its a fuse or even a poor socket. theyre an oddball T15 i think

its a defect to have any form of light missing/broken its 1 point and $100 if im correct and it also may lead to other deffects as such

Think that you've got two different problems mate.

Try replacing the reverse light bulb and not worrying about the number plate. If people can't see it at night, that's a good thing... right?

Interesting...Got pulled for it in NSW and just claimed that I didn't realise - which I didn't (long trip from Brisbane to Sydney and was tired).

Copper allowed me to drive to a servo and pick one up. Just let me off like that, hence why I didn't think it was defectable.

Also, this was when I was in my S13 and looked like a h00n!

well got some bulbs from mate @ http://www.86forums.com.au , these LED fancy thingos, just need to get some time to try slot them in ...

and with the reverse light, my rachet broke, so i cant get the damn tail light out :( was one of those weekends

errr , im just worried about getting the lights working over the # plate :P

currently 1 reverse light still lights up a bit, sux where I live its a dark corridor to reverse down, so i've gotta feather the brake to help me see if any kids decide on doing a bolt

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
