Rear Park Lights

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I have recently purchased a 4DR R34 skylines GTT.

However I have just noticed that the inner rear lights are not working, they work when applying brake however, in normal operation only the outer lights light up.

I assume all 4 lights should all work when headlights turned on..?!

The inner rear lights have two globes (not double filament), the braking globe works fine, however tried replacing the 2nd globe on both inner lights, but no go.

I was not really able to read the inside fuse panel, however checked all fuses and there did not seem to be any blown ones, so not sure what else to check??

Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone know where I can find an English diagram to the fuse panel?

Thanks in advance.

As you have stated these lights are the brake lights that only come on when the brakes are applied. The outside two lights are the rear parkers - this is an ADR requirement to differentiate the parkers from the brake lights.

The lights are working as designed.

Hi Thanks for the reply, however the inner lights themselves have two globes, why would the inner lights have two globes? if they are simply for braking ?

Anyone else have a R34 4 Door that can confirm that the inner lights are simply for braking?

For anyones interest, the R34 4 Door, all four tail lights are supposed to be on, and again both when braking.

I added new twin-filamanet (previously were single) globes into the top globe socket of my inner tail lgihts, and it is now all working.

    • I have driven it slowly around the block, didn't notice any issue with the brakes. It is a vacuum brake booster.
    • Hi all, so some of my speakers still work some I don’t think work. The old head unit is still all functional. If I keep the stock head unit as I feel it’s vintage then can I just pop in new speakers - would that be plug and play? Would I need to bypass the amps in the doors and back? Heard there’s 3 of them.  anyone run a blue tooth into the stock head unit? Or is the only option running one of those tape decks with cable coming out?  my cd deck controller although rare I don’t think is working anymore either. Guess if I got that working with the speakers then I could load some cds.    just seeing my options here if anyone has some advise. 
    • My trusted mechanic is Tunehouse in Calder St, Marrickville. He's the guy who did the ECUtek dyno tune on mine. I'm nearing the 85k mark for my motor and I'm considering getting the oil galley gaskets done as preventative maintenance when the time comes. Since my garage isn't big enough for such a task, I'm definitely going to be handing it over to him. You'll be impressed by how clean he keeps his workshop. It gives you the confidence he and his employees will look after your vehicle with the same pride.
    • The Bogan Sports Car now has fresh gear bag and diff oil The old gear bag oil was nice and clean looking, the old diff oil was average looking, not horrible, just dark, I've seen worse in other cars, much worse Good things was that both drain plug magnets looked good with zero bits of anything apart from a small coating of that typical black goo you get on the diff plug, it was probably the original diff oil, but nothing shiny The shifts are sweet, and the Torsen is Torsening like a boss (tested in the work vehicle maintenance yard after work). LOL In other noise related news, the Racing Beat axle back sound nicer than stock from outside with the roof down, but still pretty quiet, but it's not noticeable at all really inside with the roof up.....maybe it needs a header.....🤪  This is what a OEM header looks like 😝 > 🤣🤣🤣🤑
