So can you get the power supply from the outer light without firing the canbus light out code?,did this mod on my tdi before I sold it and got a gti but I got the power from the cigarette lighter.this time I think i will add a dimmer switch because the inners were much to bright.
Many ways of wiring it up, depending what people want. There will be three versions available each wired slightly differently
1 - inners work as side lights
2 - inners work as side lights and brake lights - outers will remain half circle braking
3 - inners work as side lights and brake lights - outers will be full circle braking

Option to have quad indicators too

All options no bulb out warning on dash  :happy2:

Yeah, sorry about that. I've had to for the moment as the method shown fails after a short time and I didn't think it was right to show people a method that will ultimately fail on them. My most recent method, which is not on YouTube, is holding up well with no signs of failure so hopefully that will work and I will delete the old method from YouTube  :happy2:

Full circle outer brake lights you mean?
If so you'll need to mess with the bulb holders and relocate the side light bulb. The bulb out cannot be coded out. @maxitrol has tried a few ways to code it out but no luck

@r5gtt it's been a while since I was using the LED rings so can't remember but think I used 80mm rings. Best to measure the units and try to get the closest to the middle of the space available  :happy2:

Thank you @MateyGuv

In your thread it said 90mm but I'll measure them all the same as I've ordered the 90mm but ordered the white ones by mistake and not reading the description  :stupid:

Thanks again :drinking:

Bit more figured out -


How have you got the ring in there without cracking the lenses?!

My little secret for the moment - I have opened them up but not by taking the lense off. Need to make sure all fits back safely before passing the method on  :happy2:
@MateyGuv  when's this secret coming out  :smiley:

@r5gtt the secret came out ages ago - I chopped the rear off the lens but that caused a strength issue where over time separation occurs. I think Iv overcome that now too. Have a look at my YouTube to see how the rear is cut and an explanation of the issues caused


I'm prototyping a new led and electronics at the moment which should make this all come together so find me (Mateyguv) on Instagram for updates if interested  :happy2:

@MateyGuv

Thanks for the swift reply  :drinking:  I've already seen this video and I've opened up my lights ready for stage 2 but haven't the foggiest what bulb type to use as I ordered some smd rings but cancelled the order as they were white. now I'm thinking what next  :confused: Do I go ccfl or smd scratches his bald patch in confusion  :stupid:
Cutting the light with balsy and I wouldn't try it although they look brilliant without having the horrible crackle effect on the front well done  :happy2:
You've been busy with your mods and I'm well intrigued by your videos which led me to try this mod out.
I have a couple of sets of rear lights now so thinking which ones to mod as people keep asking about the ones I have forsale as they're not skyline modded so why they think they are I don't know lol
I'll have to get Instagram as ive never used that before haha Facebook I do have.

Thanks again  :happy2:
