Also, I noticed the bulb for the reverse light is a double filament bulb too, but only one lights up... I'm considering doing this mod to it as well, so both light up when put in reverse.

Switch has to be adjusted and clipped on both the pedal AND te metal piece next to
It.

Do you have a how to on adjusting the switch? I bought a new one and put it on still no brake lights..I have ruining and reverse..actually I replaced it because it wouldn't let me shift.now it will shift still no lights
Also I checked the fuse and changed the bulbs but they are pretty gunked up from that electric grease..

I'll be doing this soon! Has anion used the duralast circuit board from autozone. I need a quick fix for a ticket until I can afford a whole new set of boards and lights...

For the reverse light mod to make both filaments light up?

Tapatapatalk

The reverse bulbs are normally 3156. Single filament. A 3157 does fit in there, but there's no point in lighting up both filaments since a 3157 in a 3156 socket will light up the "bright" filament to begin with. I have LED bulbs, and I've been wanting to try it. Same concept as the 4-hi mod, just run an auxiliary ground and power.
