Hi All: I've been having brake trouble on my series IV. It's not really the brakes, they work fine. It's the brake lights. They don't work unless I have alot of pressure on the pedal. I've removed th

I've had the same problem with my series IV. When the lights fail I replace the switch. They work for a while, and then out they go again. It's happened twice coming down Lookout Mountain with traffi

If you've tried 2 new switches already, the only suggestion I can make is to bleed the brake system again, at the switch. Just have someone push the pedal down firmly while you slowly unscrew the swi

No, but I keep blowing a left rear turn signal light. A parts place said not a good ground and producing to many watts. I've ground the unit and it still burns out. The bulb is much hotter than the

Hello Bill: Your idea for increased visibility is well founded, I think. You might want to investigate the temperature at which the halogen bulb operates, because they can run quite hot. If that's tr

I have been running halogen brake light bulbs in my Tiger for a year now with no lens or wiring problems. The increased heat does not seem to be a problem. There has been quite a bit of discussion on

I really don't have a good answer. I just wish that the Tail Light element in the halogen bulbs was lower wattage. That way there might be a large enough difference between the two elements to make

What about a compromise - 24Volt Halogen lamps (from a truck - trucks in Australia tend to run 24 Volt systems). Might still be brighter than conventional lamps, without the afterburner effect you're

What you need to get is that very rare LAT option of a popping rear Tiger fin badge that vents out the tail lights. ;-) (Note, credit where credit is due. That LAT option was unearthed by Larry Wrigh

One of the local Alger guys rewired his taillights to have integrated brake and turn signal lights (like most older domestic cars). This gives double the brake and turn signal visibility, plus a redu

Both the upper and lower lights are brake, tail, and turn, and you would have to modify the upper light socket to accept an 1157 dual-filament bulb, like the lower one. Theo
