Post by: A1dan2.0tdisport on November 07, 2012, 10:29:25 pm

Wanting to install some in the rear lighting unit.

Cheers Eddie, that's brill mate but I was hoping to find the led's so I could try a little DIY job :),

Probably be much simpler to just buy that and plug and play.

I've always fancied this little mod after seeing your Ed. The only bit that put me off was dropping the headlining to run the feed wire down to the rear. Is it much of a job?

you don't do that

drop the front light
take the back one out

feed the wire from the front to the rear, wire into the front light (grey & brown wires) refit front light
Plug rear light back in, job done (took about an hour to do)

Ah cool. I was just under the impression you was unable to feed the wire between the lining and roof do to isulation etc. Not too bad a job at all then  :happy2:

Did you drill holes and fit the LEDs in the rears then Eddie?

Then just take the supply from the front LEDs?
