Where do back lights plug in on heng long sherman

Post by percy1510 »

Hi everyone
As the title suggests I can’t see where the back lights plug into on my Hl Sherman. The cable has a 2 pin connector and it is not quite long enough to reach the connectors on the underside of the hull where the 8 pin plug is.
I have the latest heng long dual sound board
Any ideas?

it's got to be the board. the wire won't reach the 8 pin connection on the front of the Hill. I will have a look if I have spare place to 0lug in on the mfu

Sussed it. I have plugged the back lights into the main board into the socket where the smoke unit used to fit. Now I can turn the back lights on and off from the transmitter. I am thinking that if I wire all lights front and back into this socket I will be able to turn all lights on and off from the transmitter 8)

Great idea Percy
I hadn’t thought of that. Will change my lights to the smoker plug so I can switch them on and off remotely.
At the moment my rear lights are wired in with my front lights and I had to put a small resistor inline because the rear lights flickered when the machine gun was used. Clarke website shows how.
