Default Bright *** Light Help.....

I have the BAL-3 and I can set the lighting fine. The problem is the foot brake won't engage the light....The hand brake does....Any suggestions.....

Bad switch that you didn't know about until you tested the BAL would be my guess. Does it work with the stock light?

I think it is the switch. I can't use the old switch because I have spliced wires I cut....I really never knew my foot brake light worked until i tried to set the BAL.....I will buy a switch tomorrow just to be safe. That BAL-3 is one bright sucker......

Rear Brake switch is bad. Happen to me as well. Seems to be a common problem.
