VN 91 Brake Lights Top or Bottom

[Munz]

Actually i think you misread, I'll make this as plain as i can

For Brake illumination:
VN= all 4
VP= top 2

With parkers and headlights selected ON:
VN + VP use all 4 (on the low voltage part of the globe)

I hope this clears things up

Yea I was gonna say my old VN lit up 4 for the taillights and 4 lights for rear brake + parcel shelf

The globes have 2 filaments which are both 12 Volt they would be a different wattage (the brake light being the highest) so would draw different amounts of current and have a different brightness.

Probably so they can't get mixed up on the production line seeing only one kind.
Or less kinds of globe to stock?

VN = all 4 brake, have a look at the difference in the VN to VP looms, if you have a VN and it only has 2, chances are you have a VP loom, if your manual says only 2, your manual is wrong

The VN handbook shows that theres supposed to be two stop/tail lamps each side-1 top and 1 bottom, as well as the rear window brake light..These taillights use duel filament bulbs,which are 21w for the stop lamp and 5w for the taillight.These bulbs have different spaced holding pegs so a normal single filament bulb will not fit.(Ive seen the single ones just jammed in there before though,I guess some people just have no idea.)

Ok just had a look at the wiring The Top has 3 wires and the Bottom has only 2.....any ideas

 

[AGRSSV8]

you have a VP loom...
