[fx gt]

wanting to put a rear top break light in my fx wagon, went and got bulb holders that aldery had the wires for break light hooked up but it dosnt work

its fine with out the park lights on, but when ya turn them on so does the top break light

also the clock likes to dim when foot is placed on break

Did the clock light dim before you hooked up the high stop light?

If not, thats another problem


Your other problem sounds like your brake and light wires are touching somewhere??

as above, or I'd question the 'origional wires' as it sounds like you have it earthed through the light feed.

Where have you taken the feed for your high-stop from? Maybe try earthing it on the body, and only running one wire down to the brake light.

sounds like the wires you found already there are hooked up to the park lights rather than brake lights....

when you say its fine without the park lights on, do you mean it functions correctly?

easy fix is just run a new wire from a brake light.... no problems then.
