Title: Picture of red rear with LED's?
Post by: bodger00 on July 02, 2010, 08:39:53 pm: Im debating the VW LED mod but can't seem to find a picture of a red coloured rear (oh er) with a standard rear bumper with silver badge.

Im trying to see what one will look like with the darker coloured red against the lighter LEDs.

Anyone got one?

Cheers

....Could definitely be done, but a bit tedious/fiddly.
Title: Re: Picture of red rear with LED's?
Post by: bodger00 on July 03, 2010, 10:42:04 pm: Im fine with fiddly, but not sure how?
Title: Re: Picture of red rear with LED's?
Post by: RedRobin on July 03, 2010, 10:59:29 pm: ^^^^
The inner silvered plastics are moulded as if LED's were fitted, so no problem there. But hooking up so many LED bulbs and making them work could be fiddly. Hurdy was discussing this with me and we both liked the idea of them being extra brake lights.

Post by: danishmkvgti on July 04, 2010, 06:55:35 am: some guy in cz has done it, saw it on the american forum, he has made an exchange service for those wanting led in the inner lights :smiley:

I'm not sure about the indicator mod, but led in the inner circle is defo on my small mod list :wink: :grin:

Post by: bodger00 on July 04, 2010, 05:36:33 pm: Thanks Jake!
I'm not up for the indicators on the inner ring either but really want to fit LED's to the inner ring for standard or brake lights.

Must find out what the law is on this or if there are any restrictions.

Now to find out where to get the parts/how to wire them all in.......... :drinking:
