I cant view photobucket at work unless it links directly there. Ross

circolo Unregistered C	Yup. A choice of an Alloy cup, or plastic. I went for the recommended alloy one. Fittment was a doddle, and the finish is lovely. $\:\)$ The chap at Coupeteile , is easy to contact. He has good English, so if you have any questions he can answer them.

h2ypr Unregistered H	Doubtful to be honest... Basically i've been talkin to Phil about this again and we are weighin up our options. 1. The normal coupetetetetetetlleltet ones that circolo has. 2. The ones that flatuvigitnthtjfjf is selling and we are waiting on feedback from cowboy. 3. There may be another option, but its unlikely at this stage. Ross

sada1000 Unregistered S	I haven't read the whole thread about this but my friend here had a LED conversion done on his Puma some time ago. It works out to be quite a bit cheaper also. Running lights are changed with LEDs (custom work - car specific) on the inner piece of the unit and for brake lights it currently is OEM bulb but can be replaced with aftermarket LED bulb. Looks like this CLICK This can be done on a coupe quite easily.

pfoe Unregistered P	Shhhh! Lol! Right, since its been a while ill give you a quick update. About a week ago... : I dismantled one of my rear lights (its not easy to do) Dremeled out the insides of it (again, its an absolute arse to do) About a week ago -1 day...: Smoothed out the inside of the lights ready for a PCB About a week ago -2 days: Reworked the PCB design to take into account the correct size of the lights. Then... Left it for a while as i was away with work. Today...: Sourced a clear perspex cover to go over the lights, Painted the inside of the light cups, Tonight: Cutting the first correct sized, reworked and printed PCB. More to follow, Phill

pfoe Unregistered P	Nope, it wouldnt be viable anyway since you have to hacksaw the exisitng light shroud off so it would look poop. Plus the inside of the light isnt a particulary attractive thing in itself. Phill
