October 15, 201213 yr Can you not wire that into the highbeam circuit? We had to do that in the 3G WRX world with our fogs. They had a defeat for them. Looks great by the way. I am following so I can see what you end up doing with the wiring.
October 15, 201213 yr Or run a standalone circuit with a 12v relay operated by a switch. I did this for my Jeep when you put it into reverse the rear fogs would come on.

November 18, 201213 yr Author Used a shop vacuum to clean out the mouse nest got the tail lights to work. I had to take the bulbs out of my old ones. The guy who i bought it from took all them out of passenger side and drivers side had two bad ones and the fuse was blown in cab. Edited December 31, 201411 yr by turbosubarubrat
November 18, 201213 yr Could just be a Salt-Belt issue, as they do like to dump salt on the roads here. But I have had quite a bit of trouble due to corrosion with those connectors. I would make sure the connections are clean, then pack them full of dielectric grease. May save you a headache or two down the road.

I would make sure the connections are clean, then pack them full of dielectric grease. May save you a headache or two down the road. thanks for advice i used some electical cleaner already on some connections but that wasn't the problem i took apart the tail lights and drivers side had a bad bulb on top also was missing one on bottom and passenger side had no bulbs so i used my bulbs out of my old tail lights and that fixed it, i also don't have the problem with the roads being salted where i live:banana:but there is talk about them starting:banghead:
November 19, 201213 yr Author took some more stuff off today i'm going to cut out rust spots on passenger door and wheel wells some time this week, also i'm going to be undercoating the wheel wheels while i'm at it to prevent rust from getting to it as bad.

November 21, 201213 yr Looking good. I've seen a vid on YouTube of your brat I'm pretty sure. So what's the third eye used for? It looks pretty neat.
November 21, 201213 yr Author Looking good. I've seen a vid on YouTube of your brat I'm pretty sure. So what's the third eye used for? It looks pretty neat. yah i have some videos on youtube of my brat and my dads haven't done made some in awhile but im going to after i paint mine, the third eye is used for helping the main head lights on the 81-82 brats, 80-82 hatches, 80-82 wagons, not sure of sedans, but it was made for the head light set up for 1 on each side to help with the high beams not the 2 head light setup when i get the headlights and buckets for the 1 headlight set im going to switch over. it doesn't really a have a purpose but i think its cool so i put on because its rare and and makes mine unique because 85's didn't come with them they also didn't come with the rear seats or roll bars Edited November 21, 201213 yr by turbosubarubrat
November 22, 201213 yr '85 was the last year for the jumpseats, mine has them factory. '86 and up didn't have the jumpseat option. Also Brats only had the centerlamp in '82, the first year of the second generation Brat. I need to tackle the rust in the rear wheelwells like you are doing, I can see some rust eating through the paint on mine.
