Maybe brake lights OK - Front Long Range? - Any ideas?
Hi,<br><br>I recently had an issue with the brake lights. Here's the gist....the two rear and the high level light are always on dim. If I brake all 3 get brighter. Now I assume this is correct for the lower two but the high-level should only come on with braking...am I right?<br><br>Rear fog lights - do these come on with the lower fogs or with the long range lights?<br><br>The long range lights dont seem to work at all. I switch the switch (on the centre console) and nothing. No dash light, nothing. Do these come on with the switch mentioned or the one next to the lower fog lights.<br><br>In fact if someone could explain the long-range/fogs and how to activate and what is related to what I would greatly appreciate it.<br><br>Many Thanks<br><br>John <p></p><i></i>

1) General brake lights - high level (tailgate) light should be off until brake is applied - other 2 lights should be on dimly constantly (running lights)<!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><br>2) rear fogs - come on when rear fog switch is actuvated, regardless of the other lights.<!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><br>3) Long range lights - there is no light on the dash to advise of these. Furthermore, the long range lights ONLY come on when you switch your headlights into full beam - they are designed to light the road way ahead up when you use your full beam <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END-->Hope this helped. <p><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>1995 480 Turbo, Flame Red Metallic, Jacquard/Leather</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

Actually, saying the LR lights ONLY come on when in full beam could be a lie - the LR lights also provide your "flash" function when your headlights are down, if that particular function in your car works <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>1995 480 Turbo, Flame Red Metallic, Jacquard/Leather</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

I thought the rear foglamps only came on when the switch is activated AND the headlamps are turned on. <p></p><i></i>
