Headlights Turn Off When Brakes Applied

[Joel22]

Hi, this is my first post just to let you know

I have a 1997 R33 GTS-T series 2.

At night when I have my headlights on, come to a complete stop and apply either the foot brake or the handbrake my headlights will switch off. Once i release either brake they come back on... anyone had the same issue or have a rough idea at what the problem could be!? It's a real hassle when stuck at traffic lights on a slight hill haha, Cheers.

wow, have you checked your wiring?

Or better yet, have you popped the bonnet?

Yes... I even had the mechanic take a look and he also was unsure

Take it to an auto electrician.

I had the exact same problem when I first brought my car. Do you have a "light reduce" switch somewhere? Centre console? It's to fade headlights at traffic lights etc. apparently it's some courtesy thing in japan. Flick the switch the other way.

If not you have an electrical problem??
