As for bulbs the brake light bulbs are from my original rear lights which came from phase 2 to phase 1/tinted to lexus now.

#10: Re: Headlights goes on when braking Author: kurosagi01, Location: NorthamptonPosted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 1:13 pm ---- Does that actually makes a different?? It would help if the seller i bought gave me a diagram or whatever to which bulbs go into what. The bulbs on the reverse and brake are same aren't they? They are exactly identical.
#11: Re: Headlights goes on when braking Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 1:17 pm ---- Yeah I can do if they are double filament.

The bulb on reverse and indicator are the same.
Have a look at the brake bulb and see if it has one blob of solder on the bottom. More than likely you need the bulb with 2 blobs on (said simply so it's understood)
