I installed euro tail lights and noticed that the rear signal lights look illuminated when the parking light are on.
Is this normal or am I missing a reflector??? Something isn't right!

There is a small bulb on the very outside that iluminates when the driving lights are on. In plug or solder the wire to the turn signal.

Sorry but What?
I'm trying to figure out if i'm missing some sort of reflector or blind that stops the little side parking light from illuminating the turn signal. The signal main bulb isn't on, it just picks up light from the parking light.

Maybe that just the way it is? confused24.gif

I believe that is the way it is intended.

I thought there was a divider between the two bulbs ...

With ao an spec tail lights remove the very small light on the far left. You can put in a small piece of sheet metal/ plastic to isolate the light.

Ya, the piss off is that it lights up the whole signal light and looks like I screwed up the wiring. ar15.gif
Fixed now with a little friend in the duct tape family "foil tape"

I made some little foil tape pockets to shield the light getting into the signal side and SHAZAAM!

OK; I like that.

Remove the small bulbs and pull out the reflex inserts that are glued in. There is a cutout in the outside reflector to allow main turn signal bulb to side illuminate the amber lens.
