Rear Valeo LED's - centres swap??
« on: November 13, 2012, 06:19:27 pm »
Going to order some Rear Valeo LED light clusters and looking for a guide on how to swap over the reverse and fog reflectors. I know there's a thread or post as I've seen it but I can't find it for looking!  :fighting: :fighting:

And are these the best peeps to get the lights from.....

Cheers peeps!  :notworthy:

I got my votex splitter from them with no problems and the group buy for the Valeo rear lights was with them.

Not sure if it's any cheaper on their eBay auction

^^^^ handy seen them on eBay, thank you. They take Paypal on both sites so no worry there. Is it easy to swap the 2 reflectors over? (Bearing in mind I am an idiot when it comes to DIY bits)   :ashamed:

Looks like they are 30euro cheaper from their eBay site.

I never done the swap on mine as I bought them 2nd hand. I'm sure I've read somewhere that you can just take the red reflector out the reverse lens and use a re coloured bulb for the fog side meaning you only have to take one apart

^^^^ I noticed one was cheaper than the other, 29€, all helps!  :notworthy:

Good point about only doing one, will see how easy it is to take one apart and if not to hard ill do both. Keep seeing them in yours and others sig's and they look really good IMO.

Thank you very much!  :notworthy:

I think i saw this posted earlier by you on another thread. Seems much more straight forward and explained better than the other guide. Doesn't seem to bad or difficult a DIY.

Cheers, Martin

MC, if I can fit the lights without breaking anything then I'm sure you can and whenever I fit things I normally break something lol

I've not known anyone to replace them and generally new units are needed. As with everything it can probably be done
