I bought some and installed them at VTR this year. I got the tail
light/brake light combination 1157 equivalent LED bulbs. Found out
that I can't turn on the tail light/headlight switch on the column of
a 71 TR6 and use my cruise control at the same time. I've got a
message into Jim Thompson at LiteZupp but don't think he's back from
VTR yet so I haven't heard his diagnosis of this issue. I'm thinking
it has something to do with the brake light portion of the LED bulb
and the brake light switch since my cruise is hooked to the brake
light switch and shuts off when the brake pedal is touched (just like
a real modern car). I just don't know how it could be happening after
looking at the wiring schematics in Dan Masters electrical maintenance
handbook.
The cruise works just fine as long as I don't turn the light switch
(on the column on). If I try to use the taillights it shuts the
cruise off just as if I had touched the brake pedal. Putting the LEDs
in was the ONLY thing the changed so it has to be something going on
in there that doesn't happened with regular 1157 bulbs. Both the
cruise and the lights work just fine independently but not together.
Any ideas other than going back to regular bulbs? I wanted the LEDs
mostly as running lights on the highways but the cruise control is a
higher priority driving lots of miles and I at least have better brake
lights when in traffic and not using the cruise control. I'd still
like both to work at the same time for night time, and rainy-cloudy
weather occasions.
Thanks
