Cup brake light

[DomP182]

My cup brake light isn't working, I've dissassembled it and all looks ok with continuity on all leds, resistors but not on the plug terminals. I know nothing about electrics but surely there should be? With these now unavailable I'm not prepared to write it off just yet.

Any ideas?

Put a led strip in it. Have a search on here mate.

Or you could pay £200 on eBay to get the last new one ever, lol.

Thats what i did eventually, looks better in my opinion(stronger leds) and cost me a pound.

All sorted now thanks, it was as simple as a dodgy connection at the led end

If your 10 grand 172 Cup needed a new light, what can you do?

Stick a strip of 12v LEDs in it lol.

why do people panic over these not working? hardly the end of the world in the scheme of things.

My 182 failed it's mot over it even though I've read loads of people saying it's not a fail.

It 100% is not a fail!!!!!!!

Report it to visa and then go back and tell the tester you've reported it, should keep the little t**t on his toes!!
Really winds me up when Muppets fail stuff that clearly isn't a fail.

We had a Nissan note fail on that.

Just replaced the bulb but still. I didn't think it was a fail tbh .

I ordered 2 from a frenchcar parts site. I then got no confirmation email and the bank statement shows Singapore payment. Today i recieved a pair of fake Ray Bans in the post from China in exchange for the £79 i paid haha! Googled it and its a cloned scam website. Loads of people have ordered different things and have recieved a pair of fake bans which really confuses me as to why they would bother sending anything at all.

 

[imprezaworks]

Be due to weight or the fact there is something in there etc.

At a guess

I think PayPal seller protection only requires that the seller provides a tracking number for a sent item, they don't have to actually proove what they've posted.

I did it through a website, but used a credit card so hopefully getting it back.
