i have left mine for the standard look , Jame5 has his smoked black and EDz has his all red .

thanks Begbie .

I've left mine too

Might go for a smoked look in the future, but for now, I've left them with the standard look

Can I see pics theresa of yours?

I've got everything ready, just need to do the wiring.

Will be making a start in a few hours and will post up pics when (if I don't fccuk it up lol) I've finished

Lol right you are! Your braver than me I can tell you!

Lol, I'm not that brave and have waited all week to do this, as I need the car nearly every night.

I won't be driving it in the dark until Monday night now, so have plenty of time to allow for mistakes, emergency posts on here and calls to nismo

Nothing too bad can happen though anyway, only 12V

A fuse or whatever may blow, but easily replaced and lights can easily be put back to normal working condition if led wiring, etc can't be sorted.

Worth a try and if it doesn't work, I'll wait until I see someone competant enough to do it for me (nismo)

lol , just call me if you need my help T

Lol, cheers, will do

Just busy preparing for the job now, by sitting here reading the forum, drinking lots of coffee and smoking lots of fags

Great how to

Yes it is, many thanks nismo

Mine are all done and dusted now and look

Had to do some normal female jobs like shopping too, but did take photos and a video in Lidl's car park

Will post them on here later, when I have a chance to upload them, etc

Bit hard to see the proper effect in the daylight, on camera, but looks good in real life

I did a couple of quick videos, so people could see what the standard coloured lights look like with the leds and indicators and reverse working.

My rear fog light has never worked, so couldn't put that on and I had no one with me at the time, to put their foot on the brake, for the full effect, but they should give you a good idea

Well done! How many sets do I need to get, two?

Yes, two sets of leds, equalling four strips in total

Thats the kind of straight forward info I like

Good luck for when you start yours Liquid

Out of the whole job, I think splitting the lens was the hardest to do - they are very brittle.

Looking good - they look wicked at night

top job T

Very nice T, now you have to come down to Ace and join the 'led light crew'

Well done T, nice job

Cheers all

Yes, I would come down to Ace if I didn't live so far away

silly question but as explained in the how to and here - this installation with the wiring also followed - takes the normal lights (side and driving) power and feeds it to the led rings, that I get - but when the footbrake is pressed the normal brake filament section in the "normal" bulb will light up and the rings remain the same brightness .

or does the brake light bulb and the led rings also light up.

I am guessing the first right ? if so does the normal 2 filament bulb have to be replaced to only light when braking (single filament only bulb).

I have modded a set of lights and will be installing soon just wanted to ask as when I see pics and movs (thanks T) the leds are lit up but it does not look like the normal bulb is also illuminated.

can anyone shed some (sorry "light") on the question.

Originally I was looking to use the leds as side lights and have the top two light bulbs illuminate when braking.

any thoughts

but must thanks quality how to and "blinding" idea.

like it lots - brings the coupe a bit closer to more modern look without chaving-it.com

Well done all. Edz thanks for the link chapper - and I like the red red option - just know I would not get away with it over here.

That's exactly what they do, if following nismo's how too

Led's stay on as side lights all the time.

Brake lights light up as they normally do, with the led sidelights staying on.

No need to change the bulbs, I haven't.

Led sidelights do not go off, until you switch them off.

The 'normal' sidelights don't light up any more, as the led's have taken their place, but all other lights, light up as they do normally.

Hope that helps?

Hi Theresa

Where did you take pic number 5, jurassic park?

Nice job the leds look great

Speedy

Looking at the photo again after that comment, then lol looks like T Rex in the boot lids reflection and see what you mean

It was a lampost on Lidl's car park though

Can somebody let me know how much they have been paying for this little mod?

I just checked the eBay link and was surprised that two strips of 30 led's were over £100!!!

They are about 9-10 quid for each strip, so im not sure what you have been looking at!
I thought Nismo posted up a link further up this page that takes you directly to the LED strips...

Sorry just checked that link, not sure why the price is what it is, maybe a mistake.

Something like this,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-X-48-CM-LED...SM&hash=item3366b4fc4a#ht_1921wt_905

The leds that nismo linked to were £5.49 including p&p, for a pair, so as we need two pairs, total cost was £10.98.

No way would I have paid over £100 for some led strips

Either there's a mistake somewhere or the seller is trying to cash in on the sudden mass purchases.
