Update to my update: Both BN2 brake light and modified reflector light work very well together now but with driving lights on the modified reflector LED light flashes very very little when compared to original brake light/turn signal. There is no change or little when applying brakes with driving lights on. So at night with lights on no one will know when I put on the brakes. Any idea why? New LED reflector light is wired in parallel with existing brake/turn signal light. Thanks Marty
Update: Just installed front and rear LED lights, one resistor for each side, and LED flasher from Moss Motors. Very bright from all angles but now my existing Reflector LEDS light very little when brakes are applied, but before with the front and back incandescent you could see them but now just very slight glow with brakes on. Remodeled reflectors to LED lights three years ago but believe they came from Motorcycle or car catalog. Maybe too old a style to work in parallel with new style?
On my Healey 1956, BN2 I reworked existing reflectors to install LEDs and then tied them to lower brake lights and turn signals. They work okay but not great and even less so if head lights are on. So maybe I will replace lower lights with LEDs? Do I need a resister? I also tried turning reflector lights into just brake lights but did not work well using just #41 red wire and ground. Too many things happen with just three wires 14, 15, 41, and a ground, lol. My reworked reflectors turned out great looking just like original but need to get them to work better. Any ideas? Thanks Marty
