5w Brake Lights

[sal_park]

Hi,

 

 

I had the warning light come up on the dash because one of my brake lights was not working. Not really an issue, got some more, fitted them but looking at them they appeared very dim. Turns out that the brake light connector can power the 21W brake filament or the 5 watt side light filament!

 

Great design or what ?

 

To be fair after fitting it both ways, the correct way was a good fit and the wrong way was a bit loose, but still worked !.

 

Makes you wonder how many Galaxys are running round with 5W brake lights ?? I guess thats why the manual says to change the bulbs 'take it to a ford dealer'

 

 

5W brake light:

(looks dim to the naked eye)

 

21W brake light:

(difficult to stare at with the naked eye)

Hardly any, I should think - I've certainly never seen any.
