The Red Reflectorramp on the trunk . Light or not ? on LSC -1998

[Hasso]

My first question on this forum.

Should it be light in the red reflectionramp or not ?
I have seen on the web that some cars have light.

I have no light on my car -1998 LSC but I think it would look nice.
Could also be that the car is imported to Sweden and its not allowed here over.

Hope you understand my english

Yes, it should. Both low light with running lights on and then brighter when brakes applied. A replacement ballast almost always fixed the issue. The ballast is like a power adapter that increases the voltage needed to light up the neon.

Ok thanks fore the answer, Where is the ballast located ? I think its not allowed over here so it could be disconnectet. There is a lot of modifications who is needed. I have the car in vinterrest to april.

Sweet looking Mark! With good looking exhaust tips!

The light is designed for two brightness levels. One for to match the parking lights and two to match the brake light brightness. The ballast will need to be a two step ballast, meaning it will have two output levels each to match parking lights and brake light brightness.

Works at the car also.
