Cornering lighting - seriously RTFM!

[Fl@pper]

it seems to be on a lot of cars lately as they seem to use it as the option to swap for left and right hand drive

Rev light is piss poor. Looking into getting both sides working.

both reverse lights work on my Sport =o) was worried about the wonky look, but i noticed it the other night whilst having a ciggie

on the 1.4 sc sport there is only on reverse light, if i bought another bulb could i put one on the other side because there looks like there should be a place for it

no blub holder, I think 5 door ibizas have 2 lights and 3 door has one, thread about this some'where

 

[nightflight]

should be pretty easy to get hold of a five door rear light cluster though

Ive got a question, do the cornering lights actually turn left and right as well as the fog lights comings on when you corner? Ive only ever seen people mention the fogs coming on but nothing of the actual xenon lights moving?

Clusters are different (slightly !!) between 3 and 5 door. So you would need both to be replaced.

No the main lights be them xenon or regular dont move.

I took out the right hand rear cluster, bulb wont go in, no hole in the light for it and different bulb holder so would need a LHD rear cluster for that side and it wiring in if it cant be coded up.

More than slightly different. You would need to reshape the boot, rear bumper and rear quater panels to fit them. Would be a lot easier to get an auto electrician to fit a socket in the empty cluster and wire it up.

Ban this option on all cars. Pita

Thats the thing there isnt a socket to put it in, the lamp is a different moulding.

Yeps, 5 Door SE models have two reversing lights & two rear fog lights.

That's why I said fo get an electrician to fit a socket. Easy job.

i thought the 2door had fog one side and reverse the other ?

they do, but on different parts of the cluster. the reverse light is the clear section towards the middle of the car and the fog light fits in the red section just below it.

And noI'm not that well informed. I'm in the showroom right now and just tried it out

Even if we are stuck with 1 lamp, on all other cars I have had (at that's been a few ) its always been a 21w. So 10w really sucks after having 2x21w on my last car.
Parking between other car and wall with a 90deg turn in the dark is a real test of skill, especially with the recent rain !

 

[Fl@pper]

need a pic of inside of the lights as their may ??? be a way of adding one or better still replacing the original with a brighter one ?

I am an auto electrician

Still can fit a socket where there isnt space for one though...lol

 

[Fl@pper]
