my lights are wierd

skklown · #1 11-08-2003, 03:02 PM

i took out the lights in my savannah to see if i could wire up 4 headlights. 4 leds takes up 2 much power but 3 leds up front work. so now i have a beam shining out of the right wheel well pointing out to the right. looks kinda kewl. but ever since i put them back in the car the tail lights also go on when i drive forwards and they go dim when i am stopped and when i am goin backwards. this isn't much of a problem cuz it looks like a real car now...but why are the taillights turning on when i go forward?

Hmm...I think that the LEDS maybe going bad. This never happened to my SE. If problems consist then return it.

i cant return the car....i modded the headlights so i would have 3 of them and now all the lights turn on....they seem to be fine as i have run the car for about an hour today(with charging every once in a while) i took some more pics. here they are. i also repostioned the 3rd light to the left side as a fog lite. here is the aerial view.

What happens when you de-mod it?

skklown · #11 11-10-2003, 02:50 PM

I would try reverting back to the stock light setup and see if that is the cause. If it isn't, then you should just mod the lights to run off a coin cell.
