Great work Mateyguv, Finally might have a decent solution for the 4 ring rears
Thanks mate, I'd hoped to have everything completed and showcased a finished result video on Monday but got taken into hospital on Saturday and still here (but lucky to be here!) Turns out iv had pneumonia for a while and Heroed it through until my body told me to stop!!!!!
Once I'm back to full strength ill get it finished and update. From my many tests my new way SHOULD be very good and OEM like.

Been a bit ill so slow progress, but managed to do drivers side. Video quality is exceptionally toilet as I had to put shades over the camera lens to try and show the effect but you'll get the idea -

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 -


Part five, running cables and setting up error free wiring side light -

Off the meds and on the mend so finished it off. Like iv said before I ain't the best video guy so this was taken on my phone - really doesn't do it justice but you'll get the idea of what's possible. I will post a how to video of how to do the full circle brake lights when I get a chance. It's actually quite easy once you know how. Anyhow here is the end result ..........



What do you think?

How much would it cost to have you do full circle outer lights

Not really thought about it - is £30 fair? It'd also depend if you wanted the extra run with bulb holder for the bulb out warning or if your going to code out that function. The bulb holders were £12 I think off eBay but there are cheaper ones

If you want to keep the bulb out you'd need the bulb holders and you'd need to run them into the passenger side boot cavity and obviously have LED bulbs in them.
Iv sent you a PM  :happy2:
