Brad-325i 2 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 Yo for some reason my brake light in my rear window only works when my headlights aren't on??? fukt if i know why but its getting a bit annoying when i am constantly pulled over by police at night. The guy who had it b4 me got some alteza style tail lights installed b4 i purchased it. u reckon tat could have anything 2 do with it?? Any ideas guys?

Yuen 16 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 Sounds like it's been tapped into the wrong wires. Mine was spliced into the wiring that runs to the brake lights in the tail lights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpp 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2007 In many NZ-new cars I've seen BMWs simply wired into the brake lights at the lense end... Any autosparky can find the correct wires for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted December 9, 2007 If it goes without lights on then the supply is correct but the earth will be tapped into a tail light wire - should be into a brown (earth in all BMW & other Euro) wire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
