Taillights with Sequential Amber and 3-bars Brake MOD!

[Ericc B]

Nice service!

Eric how did you solve the issue with US taillights draining more power than EU ones? Is this a problem or not?

We disconnected the regular taillight inputs and hooked them up to the licence plate light wires. Apparently the car's body control module does a load check on the taillights every time after you brake and then for some reason shuts them down, probably because they draw more power than the system expects. It does however not do this check on the licence plate lamps so this way they stay on. I think you could probably also solve this issue with a relay, similar to the one that is used for the brake lights.

Anyway it was a bit of a puzzle but after we solved it I've had no issues. Love them.

Perfect, it was just a curiosity
These don't happens with modded EU lights, but if it's only matter of taking power from another source, it's a good solution.

Just edited the first posts with the installation guide and removed all referral to people\company not allowed here. This thread contains a lot of info about this great mod and I don't want to risk a closure

Another problem with my rears. Wish I never got them done done. Been back to Poland once for repair. Nothing but hassle. Gonna through them in the trash I think. And bought switchbacks aswel. They don't work. Never received a replacement


Glad I never got my fronts done

"Another problem" ?? :eyebulge:

What was your first problem ?

I saw a lot of cars over the weekend with the same mod in Front & Rear and they've no problems with that.

Same side.
Indicator staying on

Damn, you keep unlucky with your light mods

 

[John577]

Unlucky like me with my tri-bars. And it's not the UNAMED's fault but on the product itself ...

So maybe you're unlucky with the electronics ...

 

[Ian whu]

First time was his fault, the wires was soldered and not insulated

 

[Ericc B]

That's annoying

Starting to panic reading this. Should be getting my lights back at the end of the week

 

[papinist]

Stuart, you don't have to panic.
Sh*t happens, many are happy customers and you don't hear anything from them, few are unhappy (or with problems) and you notice them more than others.

These look awesome!!! Keeps the sequential movement, but nicely integrates an amber signal. I don't understand why ford didn't do it this way from the get go. Only one design for all markets.

Has anyone tried this on a US Spec car? I'm curious as to how different the installation would be.

 

[papinist]

The guy we cannot name did many US-to-EU lights conversions before, so it is possible.
Also, if I remember correctly, [MENTION=7100]Ericc B[/MENTION] has US lights converted to EU.
