Default B5 BRAKE LIGHT MOD

ive posted this in the a4 section, but this is for all you who never check it..


Here are the pics! First one is stock without applying the brake, and the next 2 are with the brake applied!

However on the right side they dont include a top bulb, so i have to get one tomorrow. When i do it will look awesome!!

Im sorry about the qualaity of the pics, it looks much better in person!! Instead of 3 tailights, now you will have 5!

and after an hour of work..

the 2 foglights are independent of each other. the only commonolity is that they are both "bridged" with the regular brake light. so when you press the brake current goes to the fogs as well, and thus they light up.

Yeah, I got that part, but, what happens when you activate your rear fogs? will all 4 tails light up when you push the button to activate the rear fogs?

I dont think so, because the button only applies to the drivers side fog i think. i will test it out when i get the bulb tomorrow.

LOL well i just went outside to jiggidy with da fog button, as soon as i turned it on, the display said BRAKE LIGHT, and yes the fog and brake light lit up on that side since they are connected. but im not worried about it beacause i never use the fog anyway.
