    Default Brake/tail lights.

    Ok, thought i would try and fix this problem as i get complaints about it.

    To start ill tell you what the car is like LIGHTS ON and BRAKES OFF.

    The 2 bottom rear lights will be on, the 2 above that sligtly dimmer and the parcel shelf light will be the same brightness as them.

    (taken to sets of photos one with and one without flash i dont know what turned out better)



    Now for LIGHTS ON and BRAKES ON.

    The 2 bottom rear lights will be brighter inicating brakes, the 2 above will be OFF and the parcel shelf will be brighter indicating brakes aswell.




    I have my theories but with out knowing the wiring or having a diagram im lost.

    Thanks.

    instead of starting a new thread.

    Can someone take a look in there gregorys and scan the wiring diagram for the brake lights. For some reason my gregorys dosent have the parcel shelf light in the diagram its a old manual).
