Rear Lights- LEDs Purchased

[Ape]

Is he back from Dinner yet?

here i am!!
sorry for the late reply,i had problems.
however,i've fixed the dashboard,cruise control and the 3rd stop error,given by the led lights.

if you look the rear side of the lights,there must be two white connectors,one is connected to the leds and the other one is blank/free.
i cut the blank connector and i connected the red and the black wire to a boot light/number plate light bulb(5 watts).
now i am not getting none of these errors,

to do this,you can get the whole tail light block/boot light block to fit the 5 watt bulb into it.

i've modified only the left tail light...

i'm not english,i'm writing from italy,so,please,pardon my bad english.
i just wanted to share my experience with you.

thankyou all.

There is no reason to pardon you English. Your English is better than most English people!

Sorry to hear you had so much trouble mate!! I've not really touched the lights since I fitted them as the only problem I have is that the centre brake light seems to stay dimly on like the other rear/brake lights.

Not happy with my lamin-x on the rear tho looks really tacky (my handy work) It's peeling on the corners and I've cut it too short in places!! Might go for new glass like these other brave mo fo's wen I'm feeling particularly brave!

dinner was nice but never said i was going to update this after it do!!

anyway sorry for the delay guys but i dinnt get much of a chance to do much to these over the xmas.. i done a small bit today.

first off i glued the perspex backs to the lenses. i used a hot glue gun. guued it in 2 or 3 places. they will have to come off again.

next remove the lights from the car. you will be left with something like this..

next line up the light and use a drill to drill 5mm holes. sorry i have no pics of doing this but i only have two hands you need to drill the holes where the lights screw in.

you will have 3 holes left

next you need to thread the holes using an m6 tap

next use an m6 threaded bar to make new holders for the lights. you need to cut them to lenght.

these will hold the lights in place

Haha. There is a good bit to do yet. Still wating on bulbs to come!

 

[Dozer360]

any update on this yet?

 

[seantdi]

No!!

 

[Rodie121]

Because its virtually impossible ......

I have a 2010 CR FR, and was wondering if anyone has a link to any LED number plate festoons that they know 100% work on this model? From experience maybe?
I've read a few comments where people have had to go to a dealer to have the canbus errors cancelled etc...

Anyone?

Muchas gracias!

Thanks.
I was thinking these because they're canbus ready, but the notes say "ATTENTION: Some newer canbus/bulb error systems may cause the lights to blink, turn off or still give an error on the dash. On this rare occasion the bulbs will require additional load resistors to ensure normal working bulbs, please contact us for details (2007/2008 onwards VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat/VW group cars may require these)" so I'm a bit dubious :|

 

[Brettyboy]

They should work fine,there are ppl on here using them

 

[Brettyboy]

Found a set of these led clusters second hand for a good price

Look ugly as they are but wondered if they'd look good if the were tinted

 

[LEE69]

Yeah tint them up
