foster461 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 It doesnt look too bad when fully assembled other than the black plastic base Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Smith Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've had a grey moment, must be the 'man flu' medication - that'll teach me read it correctly. Yes, I thought that the LED pad was it - what a 'plonker'................call me Rodney! Cheers Rodders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wjr85 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Has anyone fitted this kit ? Seems a little expensive to me. Pity they could not have designed it to look like the originals with the chrome base or I would have possibly considered them if it was much brighter.

Deggers Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 The original chrome base is still there, John . . . the LED plate sits up against the rubber gasket. (Installation guide : HERE) Cheers, Deggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanT Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 If I had one of these cars I'd put a "brake" bulb in the rear-light and arrange for the same bulb to run on reduced voltage so as to give the tail-lights. This is exactly what happens on a 2009 Vauxhall Corsa. Only wants a resistor and a relay. Could be removed/fitted in minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lebro Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 RE the suggestion above regarding resistors to use the corner lights as tail lights. I have done this on my TR3 but used a relay (well 2 relays actualy), & the standard stop/tail bulbs in all 3 places - standard for TR2, TR3. The 6W fillaments are on when "side lights" are switched on - giving side lights, & number plate light, & a central red light as well - standard TR2/TR3 setup. The 21W fillaments work as follows: When braking, the centre lamp is a stop lamp, the edge lamps are also stop lamps, unless you are indicating, in which case one will be a stop lamp, & the other will be flashing. When not braking, all lamps are off, unless you indicate, then one or the other edge lamps will flash. This was the exact setup I found on my 1963 Morris 1000, & in fact I am using the dual relay from that very car. I think this adds a safety factor to the original single stop lamp setup. Bob.

AlanT Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Does the standard bulb holder accept a dual filament bulb? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 If we are talking TR2, TR3 with the central red lens stop lamp, then yes - the centre lamp is dual fillament to provide number plate illumination & tail lamp (6W), & stop lamp (21W) the edge lamps are dual to provide tail lamps (6W), & indicators (21W) If we are talking TR3A, then centre lamp is chrome, & has only a single fillament at 6W for number plate, the edge lamps are dual for tail lamps (6W), & stop lamps (21W) the round lamps half way towards the edge are single fillament for indicators (21W) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanT Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 OK. So on a TR2/3 you could fit a 21W bulb and get it to do both tail light and stop light using a resistor and relay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yes, but why would you when the standard setup uses a dual fillament bulb? Anyway, you would not need a relay, a simple diode would do to block the brake light voltage from going to the front sidelights. The resistor would need to be around 4 ohms at 12 watts rating (will get hot). see circuit below, but - again why on earth would you need to do this ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
