Quad Rear Lights / Skyline Mod using standard inner lens (NOT Valeo)
MateyGuv:
Seems to be a bit of interest in this. I'm happy to do this for anyone interested but please be aware that I am not an electrical engineer or anything like that so I cannot accept responsibility if you choose to use modified rear bulb holders and it causes damage to your car etc. etc.
I'm thinking I'll take on 5 "orders(?)" at a time and for the initial batch will only be doing the full circle brake light mod with or without the wiring for the normal light relocate. First 5 people in I will do it for £25 (plus PayPal fees) which will include postage back to you (UK only!)
What you will need -
* Total of 4 Error free brake light LED's - Iv only ever used the BoldSport ones and had no issue but I cannot supply them - This option will need you to find someone to turn off the bulb out warning feature with Vagcom, I cannot help here as coding scares me!
* Two good quality bulb holders, some cable and 2 extra Error Free LED's if you want to keep the bulb out warning feature. You will need to put these bulb holders in the passenger side (UK car) boot recess and run one of them to the drivers side rear lens area and one to the passenger side rear lens area. Make sure you mark positive and negative.
* Remove your rear lenses, take off the bulb holders and mark the side that is furthest away from the number plate (the side that lights up brighter when braking.) This way I will know without doubt which side is the brake light circuit.
* Safely package and post your standard bulb holders to me
What you'll get back
* Modified rear bulb holder that will illuminate the full circle when the brake is applied - You need to get the bulbs sorted - DO NOT USE THE STARDARD FILAMENT TYPE AS THEY DRAW TOO MUCH CURRENT AND WILL BLOW FUSES!!!!!!!!
* Either plug and play modified unit - this will throw up a bulb out fault unless this is turned off somehow by Vagcom or a modified unit that you will connect to the bulb relocate you have installed in the passenger side boot recess and run the appropriate cables to connect to. AGAIN ONLY USE LED BULBS AS THE FILAMENT TYPE GETS REALLY HOT AND IN THE RECESS I HAVE MENTIONED COULD BE A HAZARD IF USED FOR PROLONGED PERIODS. Let me know which one you would like - both the same price for first 5 people
PM me if interested.....

Not really thought about it - is £30 fair? It'd also depend if you wanted the extra run with bulb holder for the bulb out warning or if your going to code out that function. The bulb holders were £12 I think off eBay but there are cheaper ones

Can I get amongst this.. Looks brilliant and I'm a clip killer so the less I'm involved the less I break.!!!

Which error free leds do you need? What connection type?
Does the coding definitely remove the bulb out error?

The LEDs iv used are from boldsport. I don't understand coding so cannot help with turning the bulb out warning - that's why I relocated the unused bulbs to the passenger cavity. Hopefully someone with a good understanding of how to code our cars can confirm how to code out the bulb out warning?
If you are going to code out the bulb warning you won't need error free LEDs

Il have a go coding this weekend
