About features, and driver notifications on our MG-Rover Information Pages
A quick check on our vehicle lights every week or so, you could not predict when a blown bulb would have actually occurred during any period from that time. As the tail and especially the brake lights are important for safety and legal requirements, a basic monitoring system was now being considered, for the MG over next few weeks.
Optic cables were inserted into rear of the dial panel, directly under the temp gauge, then placed in a specific order, the outer ones, brake light bulbs, and the inner ones, the tail light bulbs.
One of the light units, shown removed from vehicle complete with the fibre optic cables inserted after trial and error getting a correct position for a good light output from each of the rear bulbs.
So another low cost safety addition added to the old MG, no electrical wiring, switch, or any power supply needed, the visible light emitting from the fibre optics, are clear to view, and not a distraction. Also with no need for a second person to assist, or an implement to hold down brake pedal while going round to do the usual light check's.
The main aspect of this motoring safety feature, is to know instantly, when a tail or brake light bulb is out, and to identify which of the bulbs needs to be replaced, keeping safe and driving legal. You never know, who is going to sneak in behind you. Design and Installation (c) 2016
