i agree but looking at the first set that do look very oe i think that our cups are too small for it to look good if you know wot i mean

the first set are still my favourites personnally. closest to oe

???

Think u'd need a set as /\ because clear for indicators and for reversing light

13ad13oy, that looks really good

Thanks, was feeling unusually in the mood for Photoshop this morning.

Usually can't be bothered

Cant view that at work. Anyone upload to some other fileshare and re-link for me?

Ross

Look very nice. Nice photoshop.

i would be interested in a set like what 13ad13oy has done. or even all red and have coloured leds...is that possible? i know alot of new cars have all red rears and they still light up orange.

Paul R

Have a look at my first post. I think the ones Badboy has done are based on those. So yes, they are do-able.

So is there any point in me speaking to the custom light boy?

Ross

Very nice

but i'll go with what ya thinks best

i`d pay £150 for a set like this too

@ross... personnally i am not totally sold on them so i would be happy to see other options.

Right, to clear a few things up.

The version that have been photoshopped do not have fog/reverse lights.

The light with the indicator in only has a reflector around the outside.
This leaves one lamp with One ring of LEDS.

They do look rather nice Photoshopped on there however i am still going to pursue my other route as that hardly seems like the best value for money.

Phill

Cool

I'll phone that custom light guy 2moz and see what we can arrange.

Ross

No offense, but they look kak. Im not wanting to pay £150 for something to look slightly better than standard.

Ross

LOL

I quite liked the "a little better than standard" kind of subtle look which was what I was aiming for



I used the ones in your first post to photoshop, I assumed that the red ring could be dual filiment style so you'd have 4 rings always on, which got brighter as you braked, the top 2 clear - indicators, bottom clear - one fog (obviously with a red bulb) and one reverse.

Thats exactly what I'd want to see. Find something like that it would be perfect.

Why aim low??

Personally i think the coupe lights look at tad silly with a reverse on one side and a fog on another. Why not a reverse and fog on each side.

Here is the idea im working with.

Hmmm.

I did have another wee addition to my pic up there but I couldn't find the correct pic on the net to steal the part from. Will try and go looking with my camera when I get a chance and take some snaps

Whats the hmmm for?

I want opinions on the lights i have posted, because if no0one likes them i dont wanna waste my time getting a price and design from the bloke.

Ross

Ross,I like most of the ideas on here,but the led rings ,twin reverse and fogs would be my preferred choice.In your drawing,are there rings on?cheers Paul.

In my drawing its individual LED's. I suppose i could arrange for Rings, with the reverse and fog in a similar design. My laptop is away for repair at the moment, so dont have coral draw. But indicators on top 2, reverse and fog on bottom 2 and 4 ring leds for brake and tail?

Ross

TBH, I don't think they'll look right, maybe?

I don't see the problem with having only one fog and one reversing light for 3 reasons:
- They're hardly going to look silly - How often are they actually on?
- Thats what is standard...
- Wiring them will be much simpler as thats where standard loom is

My other Idea was to supplement my photo shoped Coup with Subaru Legacy Wagon rear lights that come from the boot lid - they would fit where the reflectors in the bumper are (*I think). Alternativly you could get the LED Lad to make up a light like [Fog/Reverse] [R*** TER] [Reverse\Fog] to fit where the reflectors go?

I've seen this set up before somewhere. Having fogs behind half the portion of the rear reflectors. And then having the symmetry with the reverse lamps on both side, with the normal lights.

That said, it seemed a lot of work just to gain symmetry, when occasionally you need your fogs on, or you're reversing....

Well ive just heard from the guy im chasing and we're working towards a solution that hopefully should regain some element of symmetry and still have all of the lights in the existing units.

Must say its sounding very promising

Phill

Agreed, So I'd be happy with the photoshop

Is your car out of the body shop yet ?

i like the OE look personally, horses for courses and all that so id be interested in the ones like 13ad13oy's photoshop
