Done and look great. Iv set the dimmer quite high (i upgraded to led bulb outers too)
I think I need to turn mine up a tad - seem to be darker than when I first did it.

Iv now fitted the clear lens to the fog side and a little dremel action was needed to get it to sit right - you tried to fit yours yet joe?

Out of space on my phone so uploaded everything new so far to YouTube. As before all done on my phone so not the best viewing experience but you get the drift -

New separation method where splitting of the lense is not needed -

Part two, general prep -

Part three, securing the rings -


More to come, like how to re wire it to have full circle brake lights, inner lense brake lights and inner lense center indication

Part four, sealing up lens and tiger seal strength test -

Help! I'm totally confused. I wired in my lights earlier and they worked quite well so I tried the headlights and the lights flickered when I turned then on. I didn't think anything of it then when I opened the doors we noticed they flickered again and everytime we put anything electrical or turned the steering etc it flickered again.

So I looked and noticed I had forgotten the we black capacitor/ resistor thing so I wired them in and now the lights don't light at all?

What I'm thinking is that it's the way I've wired them. I've taken them from the driver side lights using pins 1 and 2. Are these right? Does anyone have any idea why they won't light?

Are the leds directional do they have to be in a certain way? Is blue positive or negative?

Sorry to have ranted on. I'm totally out of ideas now.

The black caps are voltage stabilisers and are needed other wise they will flicker. The rings I have used are blue positive and white negative and they do need to be wired up right. Not sure about which pins to use as I used the number plate light loom to do mine

I took power for mine from the number plate light too. I ran a single positive wire up into the boot and into the dimmer. Then ran a Y shaped wire to the positive of the lights (my positive were pink). I ran a single wire to an earth point on the boot hatch to the dimmer. Then another Y shaped wire to the negative of each light (my negative was white)

I see so that'll be why I won't be getting enough voltage to them then.

Where do I find the wiring for those lights then? Is it down the drivers side?

Yeah down the drivers side. Pull the carpet up and you should see the rubber seal with the wire
