Got my led's my dimmer and now fishing wire. just waiting on some tube!

Hopefully tomorrow then tomorrow night i may tackle this. as to for the resistor in the cabling i was just going to de-solder it from the rings and re-solder i think.

It's real easy to take the wires out the connector so try that first before un soldering

Does anyone have a link or know of a company that sells the rings?

Or even a link to a set that would work?

The ones on eBay are sold out and all the other sellers and from Hong Kong etc and the deliver times are weeks away.

There seems to be a shortage if these in the uk hahaha. Iv had to order some from Hong Kong cause I'm working on an easier way to do this now iv experimented on few of them. Does anyone have both outer lights bulb holder units spare they'd like to donate to me? I think I can get the outers full circle brakes and indicators on the inners but need a spare set of holders incase it all goes wrong  :signLOL:

I'm guessing that its not possible to buy just the lenses rather than the whole unit?

I'm thinking cause its a sealed unit that you wont be able to buy just the lenses from anywhere?

I did a search on google but couldn't find anything that looked right

Just buy some cheap normal units which are like £10 each.

What have people used to seal these back up?

Good work!! Looks flipping complicated though! Before i seal my inner lights up, do i need to wait to do more stuff inside the light for this?!

Are they the boldsport brake lights too?

Seal them up no probs, the LEDs in that link are not the bold sport ones
