My set up is the same as eldinho. Except that I wired mine up to have the side light rings on the lower two, and the brake light rings on the upper two. Just felt this was slightly better than the other way around, as the brake lights are then higher up. The Super set are okay. But I still prefer the set I and eldinho have. I think you get better signalling from the rear with a separate brake light, rather than a light which glows brighter. The only thing I would still like to "fix" is having two fogs, and a center reverse somewhere. Or having two reverse lamps, and using part of the rear reflector assembly for a foglamp.

Not my taste. Don't really like that spoiler either, but hey, it's your car.. I like the contrast between the red lights and the yellow of the car. There is not really that much contrast between the silver from the lights and the yellow... Did you have yours resprayed? The color looks a little lighter than the original yellow on mine... Or did Fiat have more than one tint of yellow?

im really interested in a pair of these, im aware they arent to everyones tastes but i think it brings the back of the car right up to date!
although the translation on the web page isnt great i get the general differences between the kits. they are a bit pricey though arent they!
if i was back home id try and sort out a group buy.

My old coop would have failed as I didnt have a fog light, but I the MOT guy was very helpfull I didnt have a reverse light either, which is not a fail. As for the legality of the LED lights, they are fine, they are E mark'ed

Does anyone else think that the smoothed in light pods make the coupe look more modern too?

I don't think language would be an issue, if you wanted to organise a group by with the chap at Coupeteile. When I ordered and bought the LED lights a couple of years back, his site wasn't working correctly. So I emailed in English, and his response back was pretty good English. I don't know if he'd be interested on a group basis, as I understand, it's just him that makes the backing plates and puts the light units together. So he works 1 by 1. But it's worth emailing him. The email is on the website.

they are the TUV approved set as the super set OT, not MT are all clear lenses with chrome bulbs. I was gonna fit mine, but the alu adapters will corrode like buggery, so have had to strip them down for hard anodising the wiring diags are a nightmare as you have to splice into both plugs for each set nice i don't think Taz

Wiring took some time but wasn't that difficult, even I had to tare apart the original wiring to get adapters painted...

an old thread, but just how I like it managed to fit mine, as the adapters were re-anodised ( yes they are supplied anodised by that friendly chappy in germany : Quality is pukka ) the superset actually use all 4 rings as combined parking lights & braking lights ( safe to say they are fcukking bright ) the indicators are nice & subtle, as is the reverse lamp, I opted for a coloured red fog light & clear lense, but the red fog lamp comes out a tad orangey, but it suits the rear of a steel grey coop soooooo well... worth the money. Cheers to Carlt for supplying s spare set of plugs, as I used these, so If I ever want to, I can unplug & refit the OEM stuff ( which just looks so poor in comparison ) Pics soon.....

Yup hurry up with the pics. Well that's me sold on them, a nice Christmas present for the coop I think. If Taz is happy with them then that's good enough for me.
