5G rear lights......

Post by Nik_L » Tue Jan 22, 2013 6:07 pm

Just a quicky here (the other half hears the alot also) but how are the standard 5G rear lights wired up for when you switch the lights on??

I noticed on mine that on each unit, it looks like there is 2 red sections that are lit up. Is this normal??

Reason i ask is i know with Honda's like the EG civic etc, only the outer section is lit up, but alot of folk wire up the inner section to give it the "jdm" look.

Are 5G rears wired like this from factory??

Nope.
Jdms don't.
Iv seen some ukdm's with only the middle 2 lit.
I'll check what mine is later but I think only middle set light up for me.

No brake applied I have 4 lit bulbs showing red in my UKDM rear lights.
