VALENTI REVERSE BRAKE LIGHT
 

Hello,

Does anyone know a good video to follow when I am installing my valenti 4th reverse brake light?

:thanks:

This one's pretty good.

I went to Apex Auto in Markham and told them exactly what I wanted (triangle lights up with brake - does not blink 3 times - V on at night) and they re-pinned it for me

oh damn okay, how much they charge?

I just tapped into the stock reverse harness and for the brakes I tapped into my driver side tail light.

I followed this one, just the 4th brake light part

check for the functionality of the brake lights. i've seen some sets where the brake light only lights up if the V has power. if this is the case, you can get around it using 2 diodes in-line.

It wasn’t much. Like $50?

This is what I used. I had to resolder the wires inside the light itself though to make it light up the way i want it. The brake doesnt pulse though it just lights solid :(

What were you trying to do with the soldering, get rid of the pulsing?

I wish only my V lit up when lights were on. But the V + the part that pulses both light up when lights are on.

I rewired it so the V stays on when the headlights are on then when I hit the brake the triangle comes on. Sadly the wiring that claims to keep the pulse doesn't always work so I had to do it a different way and it doesn't pulse. But at lease they're separate

I wish mine did exactly what you were shooting for too. It would’ve been perfect if they wired it to do that. Only the V comes on when headlights are on, then when brakes are applied you get that little triangle pulse and the triangle only stays on until brakes are let off.

I thought I wired mine wrong when I saw the triangle stayed on with the V when headlights were on.

I know a guy selling harnesses that doesn't require you to cut off and repin wires to get the 4th brake light to work. He sells it for $23 each. PM me if you want link to his FB sales post.

I tried version 1 which is supposed to keep the pulse upon braking. However it seems like a certain amount of valenti 4th brake lights have an issue with the brake light being extremely dim when this wiring is used. The guy who made this video can't think of any reason why this would happen. So I switched to the other version which doesn't have a pulse but it works perfectly.
