Default Stopped for no brake lights !!
Was out with my BDR driving today and was pulled over for no brake lights initially. He asked me to apply my brakes and nothing came on until I really applied pressure to them, similar to panic braking. Pedal traveled about 2" before lights came on. He let me off with a warning to get it adjusted, thankfully !! Unfortunately there is no adjustment on these BMW power brakes. I'm guessing its some type of pressure sending switch that controls the lights. Fluid is up to the top and brakes are hard and firm. I don't believe bleeding them is going to help. Has anyone else had this problem or can you let me know how much travel you have in your pedal before lights come on.

Hey Boudy, are you out there ?

Thanks
