glrnet Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 They look fantastic, truly professional. So the big question is: When will you be making and selling them as kits? haha i hadnt really thought about making kits up really. It wasnt the cheapest mod as i had to buy the clear facelift reflectors, the wiring/relay/fuse parts, a switch, the LED's, plus all the wires and trunking for the installation... i have flush fitted a cut off switch under the bonnet by the brake fluid reservior as well which is pretty cool. will get a pic up of that later... I wondered why you had the cover off Quote
choptop Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Top job I still have a clear pair to fit to my front bumper. When can you do mine? Quote
Clown Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 They look brilliant. And your number plate makes sense now, why so glow Quote
Shaun1982 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Excellent work dude Normally I've been undecided about lights in the fleckers BUT those look great. Shame I've got an ancient zed lol Quote
spursmaddave Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 They look brilliant. And your number plate makes sense now, why so glow I wasn't going to mention the plate but seeing as you have, that spacing deserves a fine.... Quote
Jo3ly Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 They look brilliant.

Jo3ly Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 and cheers everyone, glad they have gone down well am happy to make a few of these sets up for people but the longest part of this was the install! lots of poking around with a multimeter to find headlight feeds and ignition lives etc...

I was told if you get caught 3 times the DVLA take the personal plate off you to stop you doing it again? If not, then my mini one will be going back on tonight! Quote
cs2000 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 worth it for such an epic plate I agree with mkost numberplate laws, but spacing is a stupid law, as-long as the text doesnt overlap ofcourse. Quote
Jo3ly Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 worth it for such an epic plate I agree with mkost numberplate laws, but spacing is a stupid law, as-long as the text doesnt overlap ofcourse. haha cheers, i totally agree with that too. ive got the legal sizes, letters, font, even got the british standard stamp...just a few spaces out. Ive seen brand new cars off the forecourt with no space in the middle of the plate! If you cant work out Y S0 6LOW is YS06 LOW then god help us... anyway rant over, back to the lights Quote
Jo3ly Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 quick iphone photo of the DRL cut off switch - Quote
Mikesding Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 really good work mate! Would love to do this myself but as you said... too scared to cut into reflectors that cost that much! Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 They look fantastic, truly professional. So the big question is: When will you be making and selling them as kits? + 1 billion! WANT! Quote
Jmanji Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Really like the mod, would seriously like to get something done to mine, could it be wired to the sidelights? Quote
Madhatter Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Yep easy enough to wire to side lights though no where near as clever as was joely's done and not totally legal but that's how I'm doing mine (coz I'm not as clever!). Putting a cut off switch in the cockpit as well Quote
mattross1313 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 These REALLY look good. I have seen a few threads on here with similar approaches but his is the smartest i've seen. As others say, if you go into production let me know too!! Haha. Maybe a newbie question, but will the facelift (clear) relfectors fit into a prefacelift car? Mine is an 04, but i would like to try similar. Matt Quote

Matt Short answer = no Long answer = maybe, if you can do bodywork and transfer the facelift section of the bumper over onto a pre-facelift or even fabricate/modify the mounting points of a pre-facelift to accept a set of facelift reflectors Quote
SteveM Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 could you not just fit a facelift bumper and reflectors to a pre facelift car rather than cutting bumpers about? Quote
