I too am intrigued by the whole set so wait in anticipation  :drool: but yes easy to do the old switch over. Do you know how o fit the cruise stalk too Phil? I have the stalk, fear I need the wire though. If not it will be a trip to EddieNL in a couple Of months

Fitting the stalk is not a problem and if we had to add the wire thats no biggie tbh, im not on call at the weekend so i will be able to throw about 8 hrs at the outer mod which should see them ready to fit and try out  :star:, if all is ok with the fit and after testing them on my car for a few days i will be able to offer the complete set  :happy2:

but like i said anyone who has the inner mod will be able to upgrade easily

Its still in the prototype stags, at the moment im going with 8, the complete outer ring will be brake lights aswel as side lights instead of just the half, the indicators are in the same place and atm they give a very good strong flash, so if the brakes are lite up and the indicator is on you can actully see the indicator is flashing, the outer is taking alot of time to do, mainly because its the first one and im trying to keep it looking tidy and OEM behind the light unit, im on call today, fingers crossed its dead so i can send the kids out and have some peace to get on with it :signLOL:

Thank you for your links to youtube, yes that is sort of what im aiming to

At this moment in time no and the reason being the outers on side lights do not have a 12 v feed, when the brake is pressed the side light then powers to 12v which make it brighter, this is something that ive been thinking about and as yet im not 100% sure how im gonna get round it, i did think about the wiring you sent in the email which would keep the inners the same brightness and then the outers light brighter with brakes pressed, works dead, kids are just going out so will do some more in a bit :happy2:

wont need one for inners just take feed from outers then will work the same as they do same as  oem ones as in diagram and video with them been leds, if you put black from inners in num 4 pin and red in num 2 pin you will get tail and brake the same on inners and outers

Pics as requested! Kit was easy to install and well made! I might put something over the ends of the leds so the dots not so bright but overall pleased :)

Ideal glad you found them easy to fit, i did think about maybe a little black paint on the tip of the LED, that way i think the spot wouldnt be there and it will make the ring appear brighter, as the spot wouldnt be as bright, if that makes sence?
