i was reading a thread made awhile ago about these costing something like 300 euros from a german website.

i accidently came across this website for another car. near the top of the page it says that the lights are originally from a fiat coupe...a little further down you have prices for these in the clusters costing less. So, i wonder if these will be a perfect fit for a coupe if its true the original ones these were made to fit were in fact from a coupe

i think when you add it all up it still cost a bit

true yea, after adding it all up which one would you say was cheaper or worth it

i'm gonna hopefully be getting some of these sorted after crimbo

Group buy, Group buy.

now theres a thought, my bank account hates that section but i like the toys that are available when they come up hehe

Oh man i really want these...

Ross

No you don't, they'll add extra weight and slow you down

I would a like these a very much.Im in for a group buy!!

these really are expensive just for some lights

but fccuk it i want some!

Exactly, if im going slow they can admire them!!

Ross

The sx boys will cane you!

so what/how would you like them ?

4 x LED stop/tail rings
2 x clear for indicators
1 x clear for fog
1 x clear for reverse

2 x orange LED bulb
1 x Red Stop "fog" LED bulb
1 x White "bright" LED BULB

Any other opinions or options ?

im in for a group buy too

sounds ok, but wouldnt it be better with 2x stop/tail lights and 2x tail lights? saves the brakes being on all 4...and cheaper

Ive got these fitted & they looks much better with stops/tail on all for rings. Dont forget to change the rear windscreen brake light bulbs to LEDs at the same time so you all match up. Mine was about £300 I think so expensive but came all made up & ready to go. From Coupeteile I think its spelt? In the link section anyway.

Chris

i prefer 2 as stop lights, and 2 as brake lights.

Im currently making a set of led lights from scratch for the coupe.
With any luck should look a 100 times better than the ones made of rings and if nothing else at least look similar to O.E.

Phill

You will be showing them off,wont you?And maybe making more?

Don't say a word Phill

2 rings good....4 rings better! So says all farm animals & they should know. Hail Napoleon, King Coupe pig. (no pun intended Stan.. )

Surreal post...competition for Stan I thought!

Chris

Thanks for that Chris


I looked at those light sbut I did feel they were very expensive

What sort of discounts do we think might be achievable by group buy? 10%? 15%? more? Only asking because I genuinely don't know what sort of margin there is these things.

Chris, don't suppose ya can take a pic
wouldn't mind seeing how these look

Yes, I will do later & post it here. OOhhh gotta clean it first then

I have contacted the guy at premier wiring and hes asked for a spec to price up for a discount.

Ross

Interested in these Phill, can you give us a progress update as you get on.

Yes i can, im running two sets to start with although both are taken already

Im finishing the PCB design as we speak (after two weeks of trial and error)

Mine are the same shape as coupe lights with 60leds in each, and a rather cool looking indicator affair going on with them. Ill take a screen-dump of the design when ive finished work

How long to completion do you reckon?

Ross

Dunno Ross, a set my mate did for his supra took 12 hours to build but these should be a hell of a sight easier.

Im on a mission now so i may have the first set done by next monday

I understand the tester is ready and waiting for these Phill?

Not yet, ive had a faff whereby my computer deleted over 8 hours of my work

So im redesigning them to make them look a little bit tastier

Youch! 8hrs of work deleted is a bit of a setback Phill

You have my sympathies with that one.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll overcome the problems shortly

With any luck, i must say the indicators look

Well dude, i have to say that there is a list of people on this forum who would want a set.

Ross

I'm deffo on a GB for Hella lights.

I'm interested too!

Well Ross the circuit board design is now finished so tomorrow at work i sense i may be doing some skiving to get them acid bathed and then start the long tedious soldering!

Shouldnt be long either way.

I think you've said way too much already Phill........

Ahem,I mentioned them first big boy!!

In this world, it's who you know

No probs mrs.

Ross

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

There was a post about noises like that but I can't remember who made it

Someone from a a zoo?

Stop posting and get soldering!

My LED's: (pics are 2MB each so hope youve a fast connection.....sorry guys, didnt notice till afterwards)

Not best photos because couldnt get exposure right.

Chris

with the 2 brake lights and 2 tail lights

http://www.photobox.co.uk/shared/photo.html?c_photo=1335859249

Nice!

Cant see your tail lights are on from that angle too well. Gee, mine just looks soooo much better...he he

Stan, this is where you've been going wrong.

It's not what you know.

It's not who you know.

It's what you know ABOUT who you know.

i would take more photo's but the car is currently off the road

I was joking of course....looks bees knees Sir! Youve painted your grill silver? Or does the LE come like that?

Chris

LE's come with the silver grill

I know


Or maybe I don't

I know I know Phill though and I know what I know about Phill now

Uh oh, what do you know now, you havent been looking thru my photobucket have you

No comment

cheers for that chris

looks good

chris

Both sets look sweet gents,nice! Now where did I put my letter to Santa?

SLOW DOWN PEOPLE - THE ONES THAT PFOE ARE MAKING SOUND MUCH BETTER IN DESIGN THAN THE HELLA ONES!

Let's wait to see these first.

Keep up the good work pfoe.

yeah im waiting too any idea on price?

no rush pfoe,but cumon,pl.zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sound better.....nice! Enjoy 'listening' to your new lights then Gouki...lol

I dont know on price yet but i can estimate on half that of the coupdeteille rears, providing you can provide a set of rears.

As for the lights i have had no time at all to start making the PCBs, like i say, with luck i may have some pix of the created design on monday morning

As long as you've factored in R&D costs Phill? Tester's time, tester's malt whisky, tester's cigarettes, tester's fuel costs?

Ok retard. The LED lights that pfoe are making 'sound better' from his description.

3

Its a good call mate, im already on top of that though.

Err....Gouki....I happen to have a young son who is retarded....that aint funny mate

Gouki/Chrisbp.

Please take this to pm, as its quicker and there is no pride to be lost if an apology is needed.

Ross

Any update on the LEDs pfoe ?

H2ypr - Chrisbp was just pulling my leg - lighten up mate

h2ypr/Gouki
Please take this to pm, as its quicker and there is no pride to be lost if an apology is needed.

How are those LEDs coming along?

NOW THAT'S FUNNY. Cheers MarkoFu I've just spat my coffee over my keyboard.

pfoe,i realy think your letting the side down now mate,2 weeks and nothing not even a boo,plzzzzzzzzzzz let us see what you done with these dame lights

Lol i may be letting the side down however i barely have time to breathe outside work atm let alone sort the lights!

I havent got much further than sorting out all the tracking for the lights yet, though i have a month off soon where im sure i can get some done.

Phill

Just no commitment!

Its true

Dont listen to these guys.

Ross

p.s. get it done!!

ok ill hang on a bit, in no hurry anyway but

Right, LED rear lights, i have now been able to source a set very similar to the Coupdetellie ones (Sp.)

They would require some modification to fit the standard rear light internals though.

The difficulty of it hinges on an email im expecting back from the guy supplying about compatibility.

Depending on what you would like to do i could either set up a group buy if the Mod is easy, if not ill consider doing some sets for people.

Phill

Any ideas how much the sets you'd be making would cost Phil?

It depends, around £150 providing you supply the rear lights (which is around £150 cheaper than the coupdeteille ones)

Although a fair bit cheaper if you feel confident with a dremel/heatgun and some sealant.

When i get the details and i know if its definately gonna work i will post the final details up.

I'm registering INTEREST for a GB! Keep up the good work PFoe.

dremel/heatgun ,no prob ,how do i pay
