Woop Woop Total Rear Light Conversion Light/brake/fog

[Steviewevie]

Where sell the pulsing bulbs? I just want my fogs to pulse when pressing the brakes hard.

ok, what you need is the little electronic pulsing unit. They work whenever you press the brakes though, not just when you press them hard. Then you need LEDs to replace the regular bulbs (since regular bulbs don't work with the pulsing unit). Then if you want your fogs to work as brake lights you need to follow Ormi's walkthrough that he's posted up in the Workshop section.

The pulsing unit is here.

unfortunately we cant find the ones that pulse when you brake hard. but they're not reliable, ie if your cornering slightly or anything one side will flash and not the other.

In my gf's fiesta, if yu brake hard (emergancy stop kinda hard) above about 40-50 the hazards flash, but never got off at any other time. I don't know how they work, but I suspect some way that can't be retro fitted.

you need the double ones ie stop light,tail light.did you get my pm about the bulbs your after??you getting them?

[MarsdenDean]

Im going for the LED ones which Stav said. Do i need two pulsing units then? or will one do the two fogs?

[sparkystav]

One will do mate, as you just tap into one side and feed it across.

[TommyH]

Can i use 10A wire instead of 8A ?

[TommyH]

HEEEEELLLLPPPPP Plzzzzzz

[sparkystav]

I cant see why not

[MacRS200]

Watts = Volts x Amps so 8A wire will carry enough to do 96 Watts!

Just done the conversion, should the fog light still work on its own ?

you got the diodes the right way round and both stripes the same way??remember they block currant on the side with the stripe.

Have you a light on, on your dash ?

[TommyH]

No warning light on dash Gord, i followed the pic's in workshop to the letter.

[MarsdenDean]

When i pressed my brakes (first time) the fog light button lit up, but no fogs working.

I had the stripes on the diodes the wrong was.

Try turning them around. Failing that, the cable may be wrong. I tried some out of some 3 core wire, and then bought some 8amp auto wire, and worked a treat.

Just a suggestion!

[TommyH]

Result, just checked and tightened all the connections, must have been a loose wire somewhere, thanks for all your help folks.

[MarsdenDean]

Are you going for the sidelight and pulsing one aswell then?

[Steviewevie]

Well done Tommy ! :D

[MarsdenDean]

Done it!! Picking a brake holder up from Gord tonight, just cant find another one from scrappies.

Ive rang 5, 2 will only sell the light cluster (one was £65+vat, one was £45 + vat) and 3 dont have any in stock.

Ill keep ringing around and keep trying!
