Quad Rear Lights / Skyline Mod using standard inner lens (NOT Valeo)

(1/34) > >>

MateyGuv:


Hi all,

I know there are a few threads regarding this mod using the Valeo units but I wanted to keep my standard dark clusters.  You guys totaly imspired me to try this and cant thank you all enough for your ideas and help.  I thought I would put something up on YouTube to try and help anyone who wants to do the same but is unsure where to start.  I am a car guy, not a video guy so all the footage is taken on my phone and edited in the phone too - please dont expect an amazing viewing experience but it may give you an idea of what to do.
This has been done many times before and I dont claim to have come up with the idea.  this is simply how I wanted to achieve the end result. Please dont try this is you are unsure of anything.  With this set up the inner lights only act as a sidelight, they will not get brighter when braking but thats what I wanted so happy with end result.  It needs no coding either but simply a loom to be made up.  I forgot to mention in the video that I replaced the rear brake lights (all of them) with LED versions from Boldsport so that the light output matches.

Part One -



Part Two -



Hope this helps someone out  :drinking:

Great Vid mate. I may attempt this after watching your video. The lights are looking good.

JoeDarKa:
Which led rings did you use? If you have a spare minute, a list of the items you used would and where from will be very useful for everyone!

MateyGuv:
The main parts I used were from good old eBay. Links working on Dec 2013 but if broken copy and paste the description and something similar will come up.

1) Red LED angel eye ring 90mm -  http://bit.ly/HByRhi

2) LED dimmer - http://bit.ly/19wphEH

3) General wire - Halfords I think

4) Connectors for loom - TPS, I THINK the part numbers are 1J0973702 & 1J0973802

5) Repair wire for connectors - TPS, you'll need to ask them as I don't have a record of the part number

Awesome guide - thank you  :happy2:

The end result looks superb!

Would you consider making a 'kit' (for those of us with a lower skill level) as a group buy???  :happy2:
