Any one a source for a birght 6 module??

regards,

Tks

There is a list of distributors on the links page of: http://www.bright6.co.uk/
Or you can order direct from them.

Dam - I used to live in the same street as him! AND I paid bloody postage!!!

LOL

I reckon i could get postage down - I could collect on way to work - drive past there every day

Ordered mine from SVC, in stock and they accept credit/debit cards. Lightning Looms do not accept cards or online orders.

Total kitcar are reporting that there is a new T shaped bright6 with an inbuilt brake light test feature.

Looks very nice but wouldnt have fitted my dash.

how you connect your brakelight you 2 could make that function.

The most simple one is to just feed the bulps with 12volts and wire the switch to ground...

sow if the ground wire is connected to a small led it will light up! if it doesnīt the bulb doesnīt pass the 12volts sow the filament is broken/ the bulp couldnīt work.

if you brake it goes off offcourse

Or just use the standard handbrake warning switch.

I think this new version of the Bright6 has a test switch fly lead to remove the need for handbrake or other switches. Otherwise, all Bright6 have a low brake fluid warning symbol

It would be easy enough to make a bit of electronics to hold the light on for 5 seconds or so after switching on the ignition - a '555' chip - that would meet the rules.

Maybe they've done that.

I hope they've addressed the over-bright high-beam light - I needed to wire in a resistor to ensure that I could see where I was going at night!

Yeh, it is a little over the top! What size resistor did you go for David and across which pins on the back?

Here's what the supplier said to me a while back:

"The value of resistor you can use is between 6k2 and 7k5 around 0.5W rating but this won't be visible in bright sunlight, but you can wire a switch in parallel to the new resistor then you can adjust this for daytime and nightime driving.

We do sell a resitor dimming kit but it is basically doing the same as you suggest."

This went in series with whatever lead is connected to the high-beam circuit. I wasn't bothered about seeing the lamp in daylight - I won't be using my headlights anyway!

Thanks for the reply. Did you try both different resistors or just the 6k2 ?

Ive not finally fitted the bright6 yet so now would be the time to do it.

I think I used the 6K2 - but I did put it into a screw terminal block so that I can change it if I need to!

Thanks mate, thats a good idea too.
