Tip 1: Install an additional stop lamp
Car owners often think about the issueinstallation in the car of an additional stoplight. And this issue is quite important, as own safety and safety of other road users is above all. To install such a device does not present any special difficulties both in terms of technical complexity and in terms of finance.
You will need
- - stop signal;
- - electrical tape;
- - Screwdrivers.
Instructions
1
First, think about the right choice of modeladditional stoplight. Carefully study the characteristics of your battery, since in the case of buying a high-power lantern, there is a risk of reducing battery life.
2
Proceed directly to the installation itselfadditional stoplight. To do this, determine the mounting location: spoiler, rear shelf in the car interior, rear bumper, etc. It is advisable to install a flashlight in the interior of the car, behind the glass, since in this case the risk of breakage of the stop signal is reduced because of precipitation, dirt, road dust, stones.
3
Fix the brake light on the rear shelf. The method of fixation depends on the design of the selected lantern. This can be a double-sided adhesive tape or sucker. Also, for greater stability, you can carefully make holes in the rear roof spar. After fixing, connect the positive wire of the flashlight to the corresponding wire of the main brake lights located under the rear sofa. Disconnect the negative wire to the car body.
4
In case the rear shelf is occupied, setan additional stoplight on a bumper. Pass the lead to the corresponding wires of the main stop lamps. Connect the negative wire to the metal part of the case. A spoiler is also the most difficult place for fixing the lantern. In this case, it is necessary to conduct all the wires through it. It will be more convenient if the internal structure of the spoiler is hollow. When installing, do not forget to carefully insulate the wires in order to avoid contact with the housing.
Tip 2: How to connect an additional stop signal
According to experienced drivers, the connection of an additional stop-signal is a necessary condition for accident-free driving in conditions of intensive urban traffic. The financial cost of purchasing and installing a stop-signal are small, especially when compared with the possible damage from an accident, which is certain to be avoided, in time informing all participants of the movement of emergency braking or maneuver.
You will need
- - stop signal;
- - thick electrical tape;
- - Screwdrivers.
Instructions
1
Look at the place on your machine to install an additional stop-signal. Choose rather with practical than withaesthetic point of view, since the main task of the new rear lamp is to ensure the safety of traffic. Pay attention to the fact that the rear brake lights are of several types and are divided in the place of attachment to the vehicle. They can be installed on the rear bumper, fixed to the spoiler or placed on the rear shelf inside the passenger compartment, just behind the glass.
2
Before buying a new stop-signal think about the possibility of its safeconnection to the electrical system of the car. If this is an old domestic-made machine, then there may be problems with the generator and battery, which are not designed to connect a powerful additional electrical equipment. Even if the connection of a stop-signal and will pass without complications, effective workthe electrical system will be broken, which will lead to an early failure of the battery. Therefore, you need to select an additional stop signal, taking into account all the features of the operation of the machine.
3
Next, proceed with the installation of the rear light. This task is simple, but it requires certain skills and some knowledge of the principles of electrical circuits in the car. When fixing the brake light on the rear shelf of the car's interior, make sure that the positive wire of the device contacts the wires under the rear sofa and lead to the standard rear stop lamps of the car. There are several options for connecting the negative wire, the most effective of which is to put it on the body of the machine right through the lining of the cabin.

Install an additional brake light on the bumper in theIf the rear compartment of the car is occupied by other equipment (for example, acoustic speakers). I must say that this is not the most practical option from many points of view. On the bumper the lantern is subjected to heavy loads, looks ugly, because all road dirt and dust immediately on it settles and reduces the efficiency of its work. In addition, this is the place where the stop-signal it is clearly visible only on high machines such as minibuses or jeeps. However, if there are no other possibilities, after installing an additional stop-signal on the bumper, connect the positive wires to the rear footsteps, and the negative wire - to one of the metal bumper mounts.

Tip 3: How to make stop signals
The life of road users is fullunexpectedness especially during the movement in the car. Even with the extremely accurate driver, who observes all the requirements of the "Traffic Rules", there can be trouble on the way. For example, some scattered colleague will not be able to stop in time and break the tail lamp ahead of the car.
You will need
- - a 10 mm spanner.
Instructions
1
Absence of light signaling of rear lights when the car does not work with direction indicators and Stop-signals, create a stressful state for the driver during discomfort management of a faulty car.
2
Hence the desire of the car owner as soon as possibleit is quite justified to repair the rear lights of the car. But before purchasing a new kit in the retail network, the faulty lanterns must be dismantled from the rear panel of the car's body and defective.
3
To achieve the task in the carthe luggage compartment opens and the inside on the back panel unscrews two nuts made of plastic and fastening the protective cover of the rear light. After that, carefully, without exerting excessive force, the shoe with electrical wires is disconnected. Since the bus connected to the circuit board is rather thin and easily breaks off with careless handling of the equipment being repaired.
4
At this stage, the latches are released, andThe circuit board is dismantled, on which the bullets for light bulbs are placed. After careful examination of the conductive tracks, for the detection of a rupture in them, a decision is made whether to continue to use or replace (in case of defects) the tailgate mounting plate.
5
To remove the glass from the body with a reflector,it is necessary to unscrew four nuts securing the lantern from inside the luggage compartment with a 10 mm key. To replace the dismantled lanterns, their parts are purchased in the autoshop either individually or in collection. And it makes no sense to spend money on an extra obviously faulty spare part.
Tip 4: How to make an expeditionary boot with your own hands
Motorists often face a problema small luggage compartment. There it is simply impossible to put all the necessary things. So we have to use a special expeditionary trunk. By the way, you can do it yourself.
