Who has LED rear lights?

I saw a silver LE at TOTB the other week with the LED rear light conversion and ive seen them on the german ebay.

just wondered who it is as i'd like to find out a bit more info about them...

can anybody help?

I have got them but on a sprint blue coop.

blimey that was quick!!
do you have this kit, here and here
i wondered if they were a straight swap and what work was involved in the conversion?
got any pics?
Will

hmmmm

me likes!!

Iam quick at some things lol. They are the ones i have.Brought them from a german web site cant reamber the address tho. Dont have any pics at the mo. They are easy to fit and mine came with english instructions.

very tempted, how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?
similar to the german ebay listings?
how long did fitting take? i'm rubbish at this kind of thing so it needs to be as easy as possible!
Will

My x girlfriend brought them for me around a year and a half ago. I think she paid £250 inc shipping for them. Fitting is not very hard. Took me around an hour to fit all four and wire them up.

http://www.coupeteile.de is where i got them. They were very good with there english though emails.

excellent, sounds good
so does anybody know anywhere else that sells them? searched the italian ebay but no look there

As far as i know they are the only ones.

there was another thread a few weeks back about these
http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=390619&page=2#Post390619

yeh i read that thread, but it went a bit off topic and not entirely convinced about the demon tweeks pick n mix kits, the german ones seem like a complete functioning unit

maybe would could try to do a group buy as so many people whant them??

i would be interested.leds on sprint blue hmm

Leds on a sprint blue coop look

good idea, does anybody on the forum speak decent german??
ive sent him an email asking about the LEDs but im sure a german speaker would have more luck...

the LE at TOTB was mine

but I never fitted the lights they were done by Joe (Doctorfrag) who I bought the car off. But I'm sure if you sent him a PM he would be happy to tell you how they are fitted.

great looking LE by the way :D, first one ive seen in silver, nearly as nice looking as my vinci grey one....

cheers mate, does your reg plate end in DGT?? if so I got a couple of pics of it from my little tour of the car park at TOTB. Very nice coop if its yours

couple of pics here of the LED lights,

Meh, i know its been discussed a million times but theres got to be a cheaper way!!

yeh that was mine should have given it a clean though, it got really mucky on the drive up to leeds / york!

took a few pics of yours in the car park too! the LEDs look really good, i assume youve had no problems with them? get through MOTs ok etc ?

the question with the MOT is another one for Doctorfrag I'm afraid, I've only had the car for less than a month! I can't see it being a problem though.

I haven't seen Joe posting the last few days or so, there must be lots of sick people!

i think there would be a lot of interested if there was a group buy! id defo be interested!

i love these lights lots and lots!

Oh no. Not another group buy. Count me in.....

Some more pics of my Silver Coop, with LED rears. Plus, they've been de-seamed:

Gaz,
had a look at http://www.coupeteile.de/Leuchten.html , do you know the difference between the saver, standard and super sets?
tried to translate the page but it seems to me like the tail / break lights are different somehow?
and whats the difference between MT and OT ?
which set do you need to get all the original lights working?

The super sets have all the leds (on all 4 lamps) on for normal tail lights, they get brighter when you hit the brakes.

MT and OT has something to do with rules, a red or a white rear fog light. I'm too lazy to go and find out which is which.

my tail lights are on the top two lights, then the brake lights are on the bottom two.

You don't have the super set, then...

Look at the movie at coupeteile.de, it shows how the superset works.

I'm thinking about those myself. Only with the red reflector "things" in front of the leds instead of the standard silver. Don't think silver goes well with a yellow Coup.

<edit> fixed the url

i think i prefer the setup where only 2 lights are on for the tail lights. So I'm happy

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.

I think it goes quite well

Poor quality pic

Another poor one, close up

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?

for those that have the LEDs, is there are reason they wouldnt pass MOTs / roadside checks etc ?
i assume they are fully road legal?

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

i think you can get them with a fog light and reverse though. they are pricey but i think they will look mint on my car just after the respray/alloy refurb.

PM Smartin - he was on the south east meet last month and has bought and fitted some, if you need to know anything.

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

Oooo, double post, there must be an echo.

Oooo, double post, there must be an echo.

Yep.

i think a group buy should be organised!

i think everybody agrees with that, but who would orgnise it? any german speaking volunteers?

there is an english translation through the site. i get the gereral idea. if i was in the uk i would contact them and organise it myself.

when are you back in the uk?

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.

i'll be home in exactly 50 days or 1200 hours... not that im counting!

hurry hurry!!

Just fitted SUPERSET MT (With red foglight) from coupeteile.de...

*Click*

very nice indeed

very nice indeed

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

I stripped mine yesterday and color coded the adapters...

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

I want ,i want ,i want!!!

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.....

god its been 18min and still no pics,

i want to see pics too, i'm interested

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.

not the best pics, but hey !!

Taz

nice job taz looks great
fancied doing something similar to minewhere did you get the bits from etc matey?

coupedeteile.de



speak to Oliver Hoffman, spot on bloke

my bits cost about £290 incl P&P, I had to reanodise the alu bits, as I scratched one by mistake

I love those lights!
How expensive (or cheap!! no? ) are they? How much do they work out on a group buy? I take it that might be the cheapest way of getting them?
Although i'm very close to blowing my budget on a FMIC this month

Seriously though, very nice, Taz

Surely we can make up these lights in the uk? The light units must be available (demon tweeks etc...) - so all we have to do is replicate/fabricate the correct fixings... ????

Ive seen them on the back of minbuses here, they are Hella units arent they?

If so and someone would be kind enough to lend their adaptors/fixings etc surely we could get them made up and hopefully save some £SSS.

Has this been attempted before?

Fixings are very easy to be make. I personally dont like the alloy adaptors/seats that (coupedeteile supply) they sit in, as it looks like they stick out a bit far.

All they need is a plastic or alloy ring made for them with a rubber ring seal.

They sit perfectley in the recess that the standard light sits in

OH MY GOD IS YOUR ROCKER COVER GOLD!!?

puts my polished spark plug cover to shame lol

Plan B?

I have the super set, going to connect the wires this weekend!

Hi guys,

Just wanted to see if anyone has already (or knows if its possible) to have all 4 outer rings on for tail, then just the top pair only get brighter for stop?
