Brake Lights Matter

[Godfinger]

Hi all

 

I have just uprated my rear brake lights illumination.

If u all have realised, the brake lights at Aveo end

only lights up at the top section while the middle section

is meant for night driving illumination. ( 4-dr type)

 

That is to say the top section brake lamp is using double-

filament bulb for braking and night illumination while

the middle section brake lamp is also double filament but

purpose is for night illum only..

 

I find it damm funny why the middle section is not connected

to braking light so I remove the whole lamp assembly and connected

an extra wiring to the braking lamp..

 

WOOLALA... Now when I step on the brakes, all the brake lamps

lighted up instead of factory original top section.. So I tested

it at night and the when I stepped on the brakes, the car behind me

was lightened in red.. Can see the owner's face also redden..

But if you think my brake lights are distracting, try stopping behind

a brand new Sport series Lancer w Spoiler LED brake lights, Those

lights are even stronger and brighter.. Not only face redden, rear passgeners

face also redden.

 

 

As for HB, the two rounded brake lamp cluster have only one lamp

for braking as the other has a reflector in the centre..

Have any of u all discover that..

No worries. Will upgrade all lights to 25LED bulbs . I not only will make their faces look red, they will blink orange as well.

But didnt you realise that the middle section brake lamp doesnt light up

when brake is depressed?? But y did factory put a double filament bulb init then?

 

Anyway, where is Song Yi cos I wana buy Air filter as its very dirty and choked now.
