Quad Rear Lights / Skyline Mod using standard inner lens (NOT Valeo)

[G40will]

Thanks very much for doing the extra video mate!

I'm in two minds weather to do the quad lights mod whilst there apart I do like the look of that mod but not sure if I can be assed to do it

It is all a bit of a pain in the bum but I like my projects and think the end result is worth it. The worst bit is separating the lenses so it would be the perfect time to do the quad mod. Up to you dude

That is a very good point! And I suppose I do need to do a bit of wiring in the boot lid after changing to a mk6 handle (wiring needs an extension)

I should just order the bits and do it!

[MateyGuv]

  Do it!!!   
I notice the wiring is different for the MK6 handle (3pins) when I did my reverse camera, any idea why?

[G40will]

Mines just a standard mk6 handle, no camera.

It had the same connector, just the location of the plug stretched the standard wiring more than I would like.

Iv only just realised my led rings have resistors in the cabling. Were yours like this?

[JoeDarKa]

Answered by own question as they are the same. Did you detach the cable from the resistor and drill a bigger hole to fit the plug through aswell or did you take the plug off completely?

[MateyGuv]

The ones I used had a connector before the resistor. I was able to carefully remove the wires from the connector and put though a 2mm hole i drilled in the lens then re insert the wires in the connector.

Well gave it a bash and pretty chuffed with the outcome! Still need to have a play with the final wiring and perhaps some led bulbs for the outers. Brightness is good match, just the halogen don't photo so well. Thanks for your guide it was great help and encouragement!! 

[MateyGuv]

Looking good!!!   The LED bulbs in the outers are really worth doing. I found the outers looked a little orange when compared to the LED rings I used on the inners.

I'm thinking about doing the led rings in my old lights and tinting them of course. Would I be able to have led rings in the outers and have them light up more under braking?

[MateyGuv]

Iv never taken the outers apart so not sure what they look like inside. From what iv seen I think they are two halfs - each outer has two bulbs in them. It may be easier to re wire them so both bulbs light up under braking. It would look cool so I may need to get my thinking hat on

This is the only pic I have of the outer completely stripped down.

It has a similar cavity to the inners...

Thanks am very pleased. Where did you get your led 1156 outer bulbs on bold-sport? and I right that a full set would be approx £50?

May be possible then, not sure how you'd wire it though. Did the red lens have a divider in it or something simular cause when the brakes are on the brake light is a very defined half circle

It was about 50, look on eBay and you will find lower cost ones. Iv always been really happy with bold sport stuff and had no errors or issues so didn't mind paying a bit over the odds for an easy life. Just to confirm you will need a total of 4 bulbs so 2 packs of them

[G40will]

Yes there is a diveder in the lamps silver backing part so I guess it would be difficult to get the ring in there. Would need some cutting to be done!
