It's not factory, so you can get picked up for it.

But it'll take an asshole.

Throw in a small switch on your switch board (if you have one) which you can use to turn them on/off as you need. Turn them on for show, and off for general driving.

Ah k yeah makes sense then. Will put a switch on it i think, good call dude. Cheers for advice :)

I think it won't be illegal if you make it work like a brake light.

So it's dim when you have your headlights on but it goes brighter as you brake.

Also, it has to be red.

Yeah that makes sense. where would i be able to find out for sure?

go and talk to the people who you are worried about getting booked by :thumbsup: highway patrol if you can...i dont see what wrong with it if it is working as a functioning brake light..but i dont know about having a blue light next to the red ones on the back of the car, they might not agree with that :glare:

Blue lights on a car are illegal - emergency vehicle colour.

Any red lights can only point rewards - brake light colour.

Any white lights can only point forwards - head light colour.

Pretty sure that law is the same in any state of Australia. There are grey areas but we don't need to go into them for this.

So do it red and you will have no problem what so ever.

F*** lol. i just siliconed the blue led on the car ! gunna be a pain in the ass to get off! but i suppose its worth it! Other alternative is to have blue and red and be able to turn em on and off wen i want. on separate switches tho.

Mine is red and only comes on with the brake lights.

I've had coppers behind me at lights many times. No problems so far.

If I do get pinged,

My argument would be, to remind drivers behind me :it's a Skyline so back off : you're only gonna lose anyway ! :action-smiley-069:

No, not two tone, just comes on with brakes.

Two tone you'll need two sets of leds ?

I wouldn't do it anyway, cops might argue if it's on all the time people may mistake it for a brake light and brake suddenly.

To make it bright for Braking and normal/dim not braking. Wire the tail light and brake light to the LEDs. Put an extra resistor (you'll have to determine how big yourself) and a Diode in series on the tail lighy wire and just a diode on the brake wire.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
