Hi all,
I need some advice or help! ive just fitted some clear lexus lights to my corsa b, and had no problem as all bulb sockets were clearly marked where to go. So i thought job was a good'un!!! But when testing the lights i found that when i brake the top cluster light comes on but also turns my number plate light on too and goes off when i release.....what the hell. Also when my side or full beams are on and i press the brake, there is no difference in the brightness!! (like the original corsa clusters). The original rear lamps had two bulbs at the top so that the brightness would change when u use both your side/full beams and brakes, but the lexus lights only have one bulb.
Has anyone else had this problem???? and know what ive done wrong???
or shud i just take them back??
Thanks everyone..

everyopne has this problem cos the tossers that work in the sweat shop where the lights are made are useless
i pretty much had to re-wire mine up to get them working properly.
best thing to do is ignore what it saya on the harness and follow the actual wiring

bad earthing causes shit like that to happen also.........just check that they are all connected properly.
mine used to go nuts when i hit the brakes and side repeaters use to flash also, i removed the circuit board to put my bulbs in and wasnt quite clicked back into place properly, after shoving it on hard they worked

i know they are all connected properly!
What circuit board? the ones i have just connect to the old wiring via two connecting blocks then i just lock the bulbs into the back of the cluster!

i ended up following the paths on the standard harnesses to see where the wires off the loom ended up and went from there
and as said these lights have a shit earth so check that too
