Valenti 4th brake light vs Valenti Style brake light?
Hey guys, just wanted to ask if there was any difference and if anyone had pictures of either of the two I'm listing (smoked, clear white or red)
I saw on fteightysix they have these lights: http://www.fteightysix.com/products/...ubaru-brz.html which are valenti style knock offs i guess? then versus the actual valenti: http://www.modbargains.com/valenti-l...subaru-brz.htm My question is what are the difference? the actual valenti's say no check engine light, would the knock offs give me a CEL? can they both give me the running light, brake light, and reverse? any additional info is appreciated!! And if anyone bought this one: http://www.fteightysix.com/products/...ing-brake.html can you comment as well? THANK YOU! |

I have a replica but not that one. Mine didn't have the f1 style flasher($15 on Amazon) like the real valenti but no CEL here. I got mine from iJDMtoy.com

I got the smoked variant from ModBargains. It has the flashing brake light and required slight re-wiring to have just the "V" turn on with the parking and headlights, and for the triangle to be on only when braking (five minutes of work with soldering).
No CEL, zero electrical issues and great customer service. Here is the link: Valenti 4th Brake Light : ModBargains

i just wanted the V part to stay one while I'm driving, and the triangle part to flash 3 times and then go solid when i brake and the reverse lights to work. to my understanding i wouldn't need to rewire anything for that right? or are you saying that that would need to be rewired..are there instructions for rewiring? |

The goals of this are to: give the triangle power only when brakes are applied, and to give the V power with the headlights. I will find the link that Sean from Modbargains sent me with the tutorial and post it here.
