time on my hands, sad night in with the car

[JD]

well due to being stood up by a mate, i decided to spend the evening with my car, doing odd jobs etc.

fitted an led rear light from josh hatton a while back, so here is a photo having bought a new number plate light lens and holder;

i also decided to change my (newly improved thanks to andi-b's brake adjustment guide ) rear lights. originally the leds at the top were lights and brake lights, with the bottom ones coming up for the rear fogs. i felt that this didnt look that good so have adjusted it so the bottom ones come on as the standard lights, the top comes on as brakes and the bottoms get brighter for the rear fogs.

not great photos but here we go;

old pics before;

and after an hours play;

still not 100% certain that it is how i want it. and almost considered standard . . .

car is also currently filthy as my karcher washer is broken (after two months use, angry phone call monday lunchtime is in order!)

thanks for looking,

jamie

It is looking mint, Jamie. Sweet trick with the lights, too. There any chance of you being able to make it to the meet next weekend? Would be good to see it in the metal!

 

[BREMBO]

Looking good mate!

Not sure on the rear RS sticker

 

[The Boosh!]

Not too keen on the lights man:quiet:

 

[GarethM]

nice, but as said not keen on lights

 

[StevenMc29]

Love your car. But like these folk^^ not a fan of the lights

 

[powey]

another -1 for the lights

but good idea about changing the pattern around

 

[scott1205]

very nice car looks much better with the lights like that mate

 

[Ali]

Lose the lights jamie! Ruin an otherwise crackin motor.

 

[Pigeon]

Nice mate! Im likin the light re-wiring! Good job man!

 

[m0ssy]

How did you rewire the lights mate? Looking at doing some I have just bought, any chance you could PM me with some more instructions/details or pics?

Thanks

 

[whatisjustis]

Are they not like this normally? Very confused as I sit on my sofa trying to think of my rear lights!

 

[m0ssy]

Standard ones are yeah mate, but not those l.e.d ones I don't think.

 

[JD]

yeha as above, i wanted them back to the way the standard ones look, with the bottom lights on for side lights etc

jamie

 

[kevo66]

How do you change them over matey??

Car looks good!!

 

[m0ssy]

Yeah thats what I wanna know too mate.

Jamie did you rewire them at the car end, as in fubars guide, or did you rewire them at the lights end?

Cheers mate

 

[BIFCAIDS]

its not lower than mine your running 16's :rasp: x

 

[m0ssy]

BUMP, how did you adjust this mate if you don't mind me asking?

Did you change the wires at the car end, like in fubars guide, or did you do it at the lights end?

Cheers

 

[m0ssy]

Any chance mate? PM'd you but not got a reply, I need to do this and have searched but can't find anything.

Cheers

[Christopher]

Spot on. As always.

 

[J03]

very nice touch mate, always wanted to do that to mine when i had my old car, never bothered, looks much meaner with the sides on the bottom rather than top!
top notch great job! nice to see someone actually succeeded with the idea

jamie

Thanks mate

 

[jayxx83]

i think the lights look pants personally, but the rest of the car is awesome. are those leds the same intensity for both brake light and side light? If so isnt that potentially confusing for cars behind you.

 

[J03]

^^ no... wouldnt make it on the market if they were the same intensity.. its very noticeable

 

[Bigsy]

not too keen on them taillights, otherwise beautiful looking
