Title: Rear light (skyline) mod kits?
Post by: tommy_a on July 29, 2012, 08:21:18 pm
After doing my rear light mod I've had a few people asking me about doing a write up or making another kit for them.

How many people would be interested in a kit? There will be fully comprehensive instructions posted on here for ease of installation.

The cost of each kit at the moment would come out at £24 delivered. I'll try and get it down a bit though! :D

In the kit will be all the parts you need for this mod. There will be 4 bulb holders with bulbs, enough cable to route for earth and power which will be covering in a braided sheath, crimp connectors on cable and cable ties for fitment.

Post below if your interested!

Also, of this is in the wrong section or not forum appropriate please feel free to move/delete.

 Looks the dongles matey!  :congrats:

Are you doing a write up on the lights and install? Would love the kit but as a complete numpty (when it comes to fitting things) so I would need some "kindergarten" instructions.  :ashamed:
Title: Re: Rear light (skyline) mod kits?
Post by: fab5freddy on July 29, 2012, 10:23:27 pm
I take it this kit is for standard/R32/Ed30 lights.

Will it work for the Valeo Led lights or is that whole other ball game?

Title: Re: Rear light (skyline) mod kits?
Post by: tommy_a on July 29, 2012, 10:34:43 pm
Yeah ill do a clear walk through for the install. :grin: It is surprisingly easy though !! It should take an hour max !! The hardest part is removing the boot trim!!

I dont think it will work with the valeos as i think they are led, but ive never seen a set so im not 100% !!

Post by: tommy_a on July 31, 2012, 04:14:19 pm
As mentioned, I won't be doing anything on these for a while. Well not until I know what's happening with my car!

I will produce the kits, but it might be in a couple of weeks if everyone is willing to wait! And if I don't have a mk5 golf anymore I may need a willing volunteer for me to reproduce the kit on their car as I've lost my template! :(. That is only if the mother in law doesn't let me use her mk5! :D

Nothing is happening at the moment, sorry guys!

I need to sort out what's going on personally first before I get round to doing them! I did manage to remove the kit from my car when I got it back so I have a template!

Give me a couple of weeks and I'll get round to them!

Sorry for the delay! :( Tom.
