1998 Grand Vitara Tail Lights - Faulty?
Posted: Sat May 08, 2010 8:28 pm
Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and 4X4's. I have recently purchased a 1998 Grand Vitara and will add a few details in the "new forum member section" shortly.
I'm really enjoying the GV - but are a little bit confused by the rear light setup.
Is it correct to say the nice big flash red tail lights do no more than serve as a reverse light in the dark. My rear lights do not light up at night at all - (GV was given WOF with them like this)
The lower rear bumper lights do it all! - brake light, tail light and indicator light. Is this correct?
I did read on a UK forum the AUS/NZ GV's tail lights do not opperate due to WOF compliance and something to do with light reflection - not sure if this was correct as it was a UK site. But some guy made some device to hook them up and get them running in tandem with the bumper lights........
Anyway... Link to picture below so you can know what I'm on about (not my vitara in pic)
Cheers,
Blair
