figured id start a new thread, as ive mentioned about my surprise find a fews days ago ive taken out the centre rear light panel and took apart one section to show what it was,

i thought it would've been a simple led insert but it wasnt. from the pictures you'll be able to tell what was done and where, not much to it but the top lense had to be pushed in and glued in place and the edge has been cut away for the led board to fit. the backing cover also had been cut to allow room for the wires

A professional circuit board, if nothing else! :thumbup1:

These were done by a guy from the UK who used to be on here I think.

I cannot remember the guys name though. He used to do full LED conversions for the rear lights too.

 

I "think" he ended up shafting some customers, but I can't 100% remember. Some of his vids are still on youtube of these products

Theyre the autorestro ones. I have certainly not heard of him ripping anyone off though. He did stop making them a while back, I have some new ones waiting for me to fit

Hence I said "think". Certainly no slight implied, I've likely got traders mixed up.

I got fog and reverse from autoresto in 2011. Still working fine so far :)

Zedwizz wasnt a trader here and did indeed design the boards for the fogs, reverse and rear lights, seemed to have disappeared unfortunately but took the time to compete with clearcorners and did a better job IMO

I bought a pair of these a few years ago & can't remember where I put them.

I've got two sets of these for fogs and reverse and there great!

 

He also done break and indicators but a bit pricey for me.

Hence I said "think". Certainly no slight implied, I've likely got traders mixed up.

Hence I said ID not heard of him doing it!

Martin had to stop making these due to time commitments of a new job. I also have these, and the led boards in my 99spec clusters and am very impressed with the quality.

can or does anyone else be able to do this and or for the brake lights? wouldnt mind having the brakes light done the same way although ive already got leds in the brake lights now

I'm sure plenty of people could do it but it's very time consuming. There are lots of LEDs in each segment of my clusters and the soldering takes a long time, it also leaves a lot go wrong! Martin used to sell a DIY kit, but even that wasn't cheap.
