Sorry for the shaky pictures but I took them with my Iphone...

 

is this a refit from the audi lamps?

 

Please provide some more details.
Parts, insatallation, cost....

 

This was the easiest Job ever, I bought 12v LED strips @ http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...ecs%2FWFLB.htm





They cost $10.95 ea total of $23.00 with shipping.
Posi-locks to connect the light to the front fender lights and I siliconed the LED strips to the gap in the front end and hid the wires in the inner fender.

They look amazing at night but you have to know they are there to see them during the bright sunshine.

 

Do you think I could hook a set of those up to my reverse lights?

 

I doubt it, they don't put out direct patterned light.

 

this is sweet. well done

 

I didn't realize LED lights were available for the July 1980 clubman.

 

I like it. I have got to do this. the only problem is that when I install them, I will tell everyone that it is my original idea. Looks great!

 

 

That looks really good

 

Good Job!

Did you splice into your parking lights? That's how I did my R53.

 

Yours look great, I used posi-locks for the splice into the parking lights.

I would love to get some brighter LED's but I can't seem to find any in the form I want.

I'm thinking of building a LED panel for my taillights since NOBODY makes any...

I'll keep ya posted


Fire

 

Do you have a picture showing where you spliced into the wires? This looks great. I may put them in both places

 

No, but I'll take a pic the next time I removed the front Bumper Cover.

 

This was too much to resist. I ordered the LEDs and 8 waterproof Terminal splice taps (I always prefer to have extras) (superbrightleds.com PN WST-184) on Wednesday night. They got here on Saturday and with a little coaxing, I was allowed to put them in tonight. The total with shipping was $29.80.

Including gather tools (caulk gun, headlamp, wire-strippers) going down to the garage, fumbling around a bit, fussing with placement, and applying marathon (his) and half-marathon (hers) stickers to the rear badge holder, cleaning up and coming back in the house, the whole operation only took about an hour.

I've attached some photos. (This is my first time posting photos, so I hope they come through okay.)

Basically, I started on the right side. Turn your wheels all the way to the right to get better access to the access cover for the driving lights ( in hind sight, you might be able to get to it better by turning the wheels to the left to access the right side, maybe someone else can comment on that.) Open the lower cover by turning to the left about a quarter turn and reach in and grab the bulb and loosen it a quarter turn and pull it out. I had to cut back the tape holding the wires together a few inches. Pop the hood and lay the light strip on the bumper, thread the wires down and fish them out through the hole. I trimmed about 6" off the LED wires. Use the fasteners to connect the black wire from the LED to the brown wire. The red wire from the LED goes to the white with blue wire. (On the left the black LED still goes to the brown, the red goes to the black with green). When using the splice taps, make sure the metal clip really bights down into the wire.

Put the bulbs back in and replace the access covers. I used clear silicone caulk and put down about a quarter inch bead. Pressed the light strip into the bead. We centered the lights in the available space. With the hood closed, the lights are held in place, so when we closed it, we made sure they were where they were suppose to be.

We are very happy with the results. For less than $30 and an hours worth of time, this is a great mod that ANYONE can do!

If anyone has any questions, or wants any more photos, PM or e-mail me and I can send them.

 

I used the cool white (WFLB-CW24). I also added a shot of the driving light bulb as it came out originally.

 

I did this mod on the R53 as they fit right in nicely. Tap into parking light right there too.

But here is the best place to purchase LED's if anyone is interested. I have been going here for last two years. Quick shipping and a very good company.

http://www.oznium.com/led-flex-strips

They also sell circuit board LED's to replace the ones in your dash if you decide you want that to be a different color too.

 

I ordered the exact same LED Strips that Ozium or Superbright sell off ebay shipped from china for much less.

9.5" From Ozium = $11.49 each - 22.98 for 2 plus shipping

9.5" from Superbright = $10.95 each - 20.98 for 2 plus shipping

9.5" from e-bay = $2.19 each - $4.38 for two free shipping

Only took 6 days to get them. And now have to figure out when to install them and find a different place now that some one has used the place I was gong to use.

 

Yep! I got mine from ebay as well.

Put your LEDs where you want them, there's only so many places to install them. Sooner or later you'll see your mod copied somewhere or see someone elses mod that you want to do. (Like LEDs on a MINI)

 

we learn from each other...i put mine LED in my fog light hole as mine car does not come wit fog light
