Re: yooo need brake light help quick

thats weird. maybe the fuse going to the light is allowing more power then it should and the light isnt able to go all the way out.

Re: yooo need brake light help quick

If its for the F4i I bought some led strip lights from autozone or some place like that which only had 2 wires. Dont remember the problems I had with them but they didnt work right. You need brake light with 3 wires. One for ground, one for running light and one for brake light.

Re: yooo need brake light help quick

I just sold the last 2 I had If you could wait til you come to NY theres a guy here that does inspections as long as your tires and brakes are good Sure you probably cant wait based on what you mentioned earlier about the popo up there

Re: yooo need brake light help quick

I figured it out it's caused by the shitty tail light that I'm using ,it was from a undertale with a intergrated tail light

Re: yooo need brake light help quick

dont waste your money on the hai led tailight strip when you can go to autozone and they have a huge assortment of dual filament tail lights for 10 bucks. 1 wire is the hot, and 2 of them are grounds. 1 ground is always engaged for the running light. when you squeeze the brake the other ground wire gets engaged as well and you get brights.

Re: yooo need brake light help quick

Id assume the black is ground so just attach the other wires and see if they do what theyre supposed to do. Make sure you have a running light and then apply the brakes and if it dont work then swap the 2 wires. You know what wires are what for the F4i though? I posted them somewhere and can get them for you.

The light you bought didnt come with a breakdown of what wire is what? If not I would do it like I mentioned above using the black as ground first and go from there
