    Hi Jon and Nath,
    The 2 new rear light clusters are a marked improvement, the small rectangular white coloured fitting is not a relay its a resistor.
    The old style bulbs will have a higher amperage than the modern LED version that you have just installed.
    The vehicle ECU would detect that difference in amps and cause the orange triangle to illuminate permanently on the dash warning of a light bulb failure.
    The resistor installed in the rear lights decreases the flow of electric current in the circuit equlivent to that of the original bulb, which prevents the warning triangle on the dash illuminating.
    If you measured the current and volts at the bulb, and also on the new light fitting then you could mathematically subtract one value from the other, then using Ohms law you could then calculate the resistance value and install the resistor in the circuit, its most definately not above your pay grades lol.......
    Best regards to you both
    Take care,
    Stefano (UK)

      😂 so far above our grade, the positive is the extra "brightness" there is more lit surface area and the LED is a crisper light, so our safety concerns are cleared

      Positive is they are much larger / more noticeable than before - our Tcross annoys me as the indicators and brake light areas are so small, think they are dangerous - I followed Mrs M in it the other day , bit of sun and the brake light disappears - these are way better and at night are awesome - fronts yet to be done, not sure on his nibs choice myself, lets see when on.

      @@DrivenMadShow I received my order today from Fabio. It came well packaged and works perfectly. At one point I actually thought I would never receive the order, because he asked for full payment when I placed the order. Fabio always answered all the questions I asked about when the delivery would be. The problem is that he says “I’ll send it next week” and you arrive the next week and you don’t receive anything. However, you ask again and he says “next week”…. My order took a month. I think Fabio must have a lot of orders and he doesn’t have the capacity to manage them properly. But honestly, I recommend that he didn’t fail me in the end. You need to be very patient and put pressure on him so he doesn’t forget.

    @tamaskiss1997 Год назад +2

    Great job! One question: is it legal in the EU? I mean the old style rear lights had reflectors and these don't, the series 4 bumper has reflectors, so my thinking is that to be road legal you would need to change the rear bumper as well.

    • @DrivenMadShow
      @DrivenMadShow  Год назад +5

      You are spot on - the lights are OK as OEM, here in Portugal they are very hot all these things, we have a but, ours is an import, so they let things slide - but our test is due soon, so lete see !

      Es poco probable, son LED, por lo que es necesario agregar una resistencia; no compre al tipo que lo hicimos (Fabio Fabio Abarth en Facebook, tipo italiano), luces terribles, gotearon y se rompieron, además, solo envió una parte de lo que pagamos y se quedó con el dinero.

    • @DrivenMadShow

      As they have LED parts, they need a resistor or you will have a blown bulb waning all the time - you can purchase them already modified, but ours came from Fabio Fabio Abarth on facebook, he supplied rubbish, so best avoided.
