Re: [DML] Re: Help--Lost all Brakelights!? Fixed, sort of

Hey there Derek,
     No those are not the LEDs that I purchased.   I got these: 
http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ProductDisplay/s-10101/storeId-10101/p-2186/c-10101/catal
ogId-10101

I am sure they are made by the same company.   And yes, the back of the 
package was a joke.   Mine did only light when wired one way...but apparently they 
screwed something up at the factory.   The lights would only work when the - 
wire was attached to the + terminal, and the + wire to ground.   I assume they 
accidentally connected the wrong wires to the wrong spots at the sweatshop 
where they must have been built.   They are very cheap lights, very shoddy 
feeling, and its not worth damaging your DeLorean with them.   To be fair, Shannon 
Yocom has them on his car and they work fine for him.   If I were to put a 3rd 
brakelight on, which I will not ever do now, I would add on one of the third 
brakelights on the top louvre like people had at PF.   Apparently instead of 
paying $150+ for them from a D vendor, you can get the same IDENTICAL light for 
$40 at the Chevrolet dealership.   It's off of an '86 Corvette (they should 
bring up a picture of it on their computer).   Just don't tell them its for your 
DeLorean.

Good luck, I wouldn't risk putting those LEDs on, and if you do, add in a 
separate fuse just in case.
