    Light question

    I recently changed my front turn signal lenses and bulbs, and for a while I had an electrical problem, which I think was a loose connection with one of the bulbs, and my lights weren't working properly. I think I have the problem solved now, but I'm not sure.

    I thought the rear turn signal lights lit up at least a little when the brake was activated. Mine no longer do. Could someone please tell me whether the rear turn signals function only as turn signals or also as brake lights?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    The center tail/brake light is the only light that comes on when brakes are applied. The turn signal lights operate independent of brake lights.

    Some of us have added two more red lights each to the sides on the back...this gives you ALL red on the back while braking and regular for turns....

    I posted an electrical diagram with my TIR3 install recently. If you search you should find it.


    Oh what they said is true!
