It might be stupid question but I thought I should ask. If I connect another bulb to the taillight of the car, it will draw more power from the wires but can the wire handle 2 bulbs or will it melt the wire.
Its like 2 of the same bulbs with same wattage/voltage conntected to 1 cable of the taillight. just want to know if thats too much for the cable or can it handle it? Thanks

 

I think this is the safest way to do it.

See how many actual amps the circuit draws while in use (connect ammeter inline) Convert watts to amps based on your system voltage for the bulbs you wish to add. Add the two. If the total is under the fuse's load capability it will probably be OK.

 

^^ thanks for the reply but I dont have no amp meter to check.
What do you personaly think?

I mean it should hold 2 small bulbs, Iam not wiring it to an amplifier or something just another bulb of the same type.
Iam trying to do something with the tail-light of my car and will post a DIY if it work but asking this just to be safe cause I dont wanna burn the whole wiring.

 

One way to answer might be to see if anyone here uses a trailer and ask if the lights from it caused any trouble. After all its an 1157 bulb and there's 2 of them, if it didnt blow the fuse it should be OK for you. Plus you have the benefit of no wire from the trailer's wiring for your instance.

 

If you were unsure, you could use one of those "boxes" that adapt for trailer wiring, or use relays to "buffer" the load. This would draw the extra
current from hot wire added to trunk (you probably have a thick amp power wire ready to do this).
But I expect the 2a or so added by one bulb would be OK for the wire,at least to try. The fuses are sized to protect the wire. I would not increase fuse size, but if you blew a fuse ,no damage done.
Some flashers will blink too fast or too slow in response to the added load (at least older ones do). Light out indicators also get fooled by double lights. Like was suggested, someone must have trailer light experience with the gen 7. But since the the separate turn and brake lights must be converted for Trailer use( brake lights ARE tail lights that blink) I expect adapters are always used. Some adapters buffer and some don't.
Search the web for trailer adapters.....
Are you out to double up on both brake and turn lights?

 

Thanks for the replies and no Iam not doubling up the brake and turn lights just something different but will post if it works.

Just one last question, on the bottom part of the tail-light which is for the Brake/parking light there are 3 cables(dont know the exact colors) that goes in the connector, Iam assuming 1(black) is ground and between the other 2 which one is for Brake light and which one is parking light. Any help would be appreciated.

 

anyone?

 

"sup bro?

That one's beyond me. Honda should be able to run you a schematic diagram of the lights and that will tell you. If you're doing electrical work you really need a "Digital Volt Ohm Meter" (DVOM) This will give you the ability to find the ground (by ohms resistance check to ground) and tell you by stepping on the brake or activating the taillights which of the other wires is what, or you can try back tracing from the bulb and isolate the circuits that way. The DVOM is the safest bet.

By the way what are you up to. If you'll send private message and tell me mums the word and I'll try to help you. If I try to send you a PM my PC crashes so send your email addy I'll respond straight there.

Good luck and let me know!
