WHOA!

If I were to get one of those from a turbo, would it keep my indicator light from coming on?

I have an 89 NA with a turbo spoiler on the car, and when I hook the brake light on the spoiler up, it lights up the warning light saying i've got a tail light out... but when its hoooked upto the third brake light the car came with everything's normal....

if its a LED light on the spoiler (like the 89+ spoilers) the pre 89+ box will detect a tail lamp failure due to the different resistance of LED lights.

also, if you have the regular pre 89 spoiler with a regular bulb, AND the third tail light that the car came with you would probably trip the light also, due to the increased resistance. however i am unsure of that last part.

I have an 89 NA with an 89+ spoiler w/ LEDs. When I disconnect the bulb 3rd brake light and connect the LEDs' it trips the light. I Was wondering if the box from the 89+ Turbos would make it so my light didn't trip
