vn tail light problem

1.) You sure it wasn't meant to be like that? Thats how my VN is (from factory).

2.) How do you have a 1992 model VN?

yeah mine is a 92.. when the headlights were on at night it looked as if you were riding the breaks... i had a few close calls with people behind me... had to change it.. :yarr:

yeah mine is a 92..

LOL, i was being stupid when i said its an up update.

They stopped VN in 1991, and started VP.

Were there double filament globes in every socket? There is a clear difference between tail light and brake as the extra filament makes the light considerably brighter.

And there is no such thing as a 1992 model VN. As said, they stopped VN production in 1991.

all four on myn light up i think it looks much better that way to

i was under the impression that VNs originally had top and bottom for parker, and only top for brakes.

my vp had top and bottom for both. as said though, looms get chopped and changed, do what you think looks good! when i say had, i mean it used to, now the tops do NOTHING and bottom is both parker and brake (also have a spoiler with brake on it).

lol... woops... wrong key...lol now i feel stupid.
the lights work good now. there wasnt a double filament globe in it... the guy i got it from probably put the wrong one in... i worked around it...

thanks everyone..

hey guys mines a 1989 SS and both top and bottom lights work as tail and brake lights issue I have is the middle light also does this when it should only be a brake....looms look untouched what could be the issue..any one have the proper VN wiring diagram if need be will re wire it

Usually that happens when one of the Earth wires in the brake light sockets isn't earthibg properly
