Aluminum_Butt Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'm about to sell my 03 RS. I bought it used, and with a Brake! LED/strobe brake light unit from the now-defunct Gizmomill installed. Randomly when I start the bike, the "brake lamp out" indicator (NOT the ABS and brake failure indicators) comes on and will stay on for the duration of the ride. I always thought this was the result of the Brake! unit. I swear I remember reading that it would not be "seen" properly by the bike's computer, and cause the brake lamp indicator to come on. And, I expected that is what I'd tell a prospective buyer and prove it with Internet evidence. But I can't find evidence of that now through Google. Anybody have a similar memory or experience with this device on a pre-CANBUS BMW? What are the other potential causes of this lamp coming on? Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 They are back in business again, but under a new name. Check out http://www.roadrocketeer.com. You might be able to find some info on there. I had one on my RT as well, and I remember reading about the possible error in the instructions. Mine came with a resistor to add to the circuit if it started causing a brake light failure. I never needed it. Link to comment
