LED stop/tail
Breaker - 15/10/10 at 11:51 AM

SVC sell these double working stop-tail lights.

Basically the outer ring works as tail light and as stop light. Is this IVA OK ?

E marked = IVA ok IIRC

I was pulled up for this as it stipulated that the brake and tail had to utilise a separate circuit/filament. This may have been an SVA testers interpretation of the rules but I had to change them to standard bulbs for a pass.

IIRC they have 2 circuits, one set of bulbs for tail and nother for the brake, but dont quote me, i reval seeing them in action at SVCs stand at detling. Worth a call to them, they seemed quite helpful at the show.

they are completely seperate. the outer ring does one thing, the inner does the other, and they can be seperated

i'm worried now though, coz mine are LED, and the LEDs are a certain brightness for tail lights, and the same LEDs get brighter when the brakes are on... they're e-marked though

No, the outer ring acts as tail and stop light.

sorry, yeah, read it wrong. if they're e-marked, they will be fine

Mine are exactly those and I passed SVA fine. The stipulation is that a bulb cannot share the same function though it is not a problem for LEDs.

The guy from SVC just told me that the tail and stop light share the same LEDs. They just get brighter if you press the brakes. Still IVA OK ?

I cant find anything in the manual relating to seperate circuits or filaments.

<< Passed SVA with those, no questions.

^^^^^^^

No we didn't, the LED outer rings on ours are tail lights only.

Breaker if you're unsure, just get on the phone and speak to Steve at SVC

My tester was quite happy with them just last week
