Dectane Rear LED 'Tick' Lights

[Masterkm]

Wonder if someone could help me out on this,

I really like the look of the Dectane Rear Lights and as we all know these guys only do LHD ones, is there a way we can modify them for UK RHD use or is there no point?

I am even willing to pay if someone could do it for me lol

I am sure that will be difficult and will require a lot of work. I mean the Leon, for instance, has only one reverse light on the opposite side of the driver, and of course it'll be different in a RHD tail light than a LHD one. And another one is the light that you activate using the light switch (when you pull it twice, not just once.. once is for fog light and the second one is for a light in the tail light which I don't know the purpose of).

I'd say search eBay and Amazon, perhaps you may find one for RHD cars.

I bought myself a pair of these, after hooking them up I realised that putting it into reverse would put the fog light on and visa versa, so I paid a garage to switch a few wires and sort that out, but would mean that the reverse light would be on the wrong side so would be a MOT failure. The garage could see no way around this. The only way would be to swap the lights back over for an MOT but the wires would also have to be switched back aswell. These lights are still sitting in the house waiting for a solution. Hope this helps

So the conversion is looking slim? Why dont these guys think about us UK drivers or our stupid goverment change it

If I had money I'd have probably offered to buy it from you if you're selling it, haha. My car's a LHD. Is it too late for a Christmas gift?

Masterkm, I deal with Dectane and to do a single production run needs at least 500 sets of lamps to be made to make it economically viable.

As right hand drive cars are such a small percentage of the world production it just isn't worth it !

I also think on their new range of 'carDNA' lights that its some sort of fluorescent bar rather than LED or bulb lighting hence the high costs and unfortunately why you cannot change the fog and reverse actually round in the clusters.

I do have a set of Dectane clusters on my car, look for my username and posting / pics of the Red LED rears that they do.

However fog and reverse and round the wrong way, but do light up correctly.

Come MOT time I'm just changing the tailgate clusters round for fog and reverse to be correct

Does the reverse light have to be on a specific side then? if not then just change the bulbs to suit?

 

[andyccr]

You can't change them round easily. My lights unfortunately have one 'white' section and one 'red' section embedded into the plastics so you can't just do that !!!

Been there, tried that !!!

Reverse I think can be on any side, but fog for the UK either has to be centre, or offside or has to be a pair

I have asked the manufacturer if this style is a simple bulb swap.

I know paul7619 has these fitted but he has not been online since the 16th and I also asked him to confirm despite one of his previous posts saying it was true but then mentioned the reverse was on the left? Which does not matter.

There would be no messing with wires and these are the only style that don't have the coloured lens for the fog/reverse already in.

The red ones are the most OEM but there is black and black/red smoked for Pre-FL and red/smoked for the FL.

They are not as pretty as some of the other styles but have the least messing about and I do like the OEM looking red ones.

Those lights seem to have twin fogs and rverse bulbs from what I can make out whicj may be a good fit thn.
