Prelude light wiring help

Post by ADS1 » Tue Feb 26, 2013 1:25 pm

Hi guys. I now have a prelude light , to replace my high level brake light. I want to wire this so it comes on with side lights. Any tips, wiring diagrams would be gratefully received . Is it just a case of running a wire from the light , and connecting it to the rear light circuit? There is wiring already there, but its for the high level brake light .

Cheers
Tony.

I just spliced my wires into the side light wires and ran them up to the roof.
Having wires already there should make life a little easier. :geek:

I used scotchloc type connectors.

You cant have a brake light connected to the side lights
With the brake lights yes

Ok guys, thanks. I will splice it to side light wires, as pushki and mart609 suggest.
Thanks.
Tony.

I just re-read through my profile thread on PUK. I actually spliced into the wires for the rear number plate lights :)
