My genuine rear glow panel has given up :(

 

The little metal box is buzzing but the panel has stopped illuminating..

 

Is it kaput?

 

Thanks

Sounds like you need a new invertor, phutumsch can probably help you out.

Yup inverter duff by the sounds of it

Does anyone have a contact for him, or know where I can buy a new or used one? Thanks

No guys is inverter is buzzing and in my experience these big bulky OE ones if you like do not fail, it'll be your sheet that's given up the ghost.

 

Presume it was green ? I can replace like for like but would you rather have it look facelift model red and to light up red ?

Ah that's a shame, yes it's an oem green one. If It has to be A replacement in an ideal world I would like a 99 spec red that lights up oem green.. Do you use LEDs?

 

Cheers

I will look into that remit as I think it may be possible.

 

There is no room inside for leds or smd strips, an EL sheet is used.

Ok many thanks

The green OEM panel illumination is subtle, I can replicate this and make it red when off just like 99 spec version :thumbup1:.

 

Here is a pic on my experimental panel, you will see I have the 3 red and the first zero is green, the next zero is just clear, I also have blue and cream so you could in theory have them all multi coloured !! The illumination in your case is green and will be the insides just like Altia ones.

 

Cheers mate, what is the cost?

 

Thanks

What tail lights have you got ?

The reason I ask is I can chrome wrap the 4 x chambers on the reverse panel making it more 99 spec but not if your tails are tango ?

This will add to cost but roughly we're around £45.00.

 

EDIT : Why are you so hell bent on the green ?

Do you have a pic to show the chambers chromed? I have the crystal lights from zcentre in ATM. I like the green as it will keep it looking as though it has an original factory panel in. Btw, don't suppose you have ever made matching quarter glass sun shades that illuminate? I have always wanted a set but only seen one set on eBay that was faulty..

 

I am guessing for the finer details you are best messaging me on 07874 247 247

 

Thanks

Haha reem indeed.........I think they're rad dude !!

 

Enough of this southern poncy language, number stored and I will continue liaising via text/phone.

Reem ain't southern, let's clear that one right up! That's Essex, which whilst I do realise some may consider to be "down south" is part of that monster known as London. The south of England doesn't include London, which is some kind of black hole. I'm glad we sorted that before anyone got confused.

Essix is in the sarf eest!

Besides, to those northern monkeys, anyone south of Birmingham is a southerner. A friend of mine is from Brixham, Devon and to him, anyone north of Exeter is a northerner! Therefore you may actually be a northerner, where do you live?
