High level brake light query
« on: November 16, 2013, 05:30:46 pm »
Can someone please confirm whether the 2 end bits in the led high level brake light are meant to light up or not. Just changed it for a new part today as old one had stopped working.

Picture if where I mean below on left and right side

Thanks for checking pal. Could just be the picture but that unit looks slightly different.
Can anyone else confirm this as if thats the case il go back to TPS to get it replaced. If I can get it out without damaging it that is!

Mine is the same as your new one mate, looks like one light on each end is off (but there isn't)

The LED's don't go to all the way to the end.  Just looked at a new one I have here.

Mine don't. Replaced in 2010 as the old one started to mist up.
