D-Max 50/50 Lights... Not very bright?

[Parky]

Anyone else who owns the D-Max 50/50 rear lights, are yours a bit on the dim side?

A mate was behind me today (daylight) and he said he could barely see the brake lights...? Not ideal if that's how they are..!

are they LED's? If they are normal globes, check to make sure you have to correct globes in there.

 

[Parky]

Yeah they are LED

Maybe there is a problem with the circuit board. Check for any loose earths and have a close look at the connections to the light.

They're brand new, the oe lights were fine. Checked connections / wiring and they all seem to be good. Both sides are the same, maybe the led's are just a bit crap!

Also this ^ lol!

From what i have seen, all these lights are exactly the same and its just the way they are

 

[meddler]

images didn't work. If they are brand new, try plugging in one of your old lights for a comparison.

Finally, here's some pics. :thumbs:

First one is lights on, second is brake lights. Not in full daylight either.

They look so good tho, but yeah I agree they dont look very bright

Wow they're very very dim man! I would be suprised if they were meant to be that dim though. There's surely a fault with them.

 

[SlidewayzS15]

Someone else should post up if theirs are dim also, it'd be nice to compare.

did you try them off the battery with two bits of wire to see if the go any brighter?

 

[Parky]

I didn't try that, good shout.

 

[meddler]

Looks like a wiring issue. How are they connected to the existing loom? Could you show me a pic.

 

[Parky]

They have male connectors that plug straight in to the bulb holder on the original loom. Don't see how they could both be equally as dim unless its further into the loom, but then the oe lights were right as rain...
