longsh07 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Got mine fitted today It was possible with the wheels still on but for the love of god take them off it you can It took twice as long as it should faffing around trying to get clips out and the wiring in! Waiting for it to get dark so I can take some photos Edited August 4, 2013 by longsh07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longsh07 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Really happy with the end results. The pictures do not do them justice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Look ace! I fixed mine over the weekend. As I said in post 1, my prototype models were wired differently, this compromised the waterproof-ness of the unit and so the LED's failed after a few weeks, plus the solder joints were nowhere near as good and there was too much stress on the joints. I now have a set fitted wired the same as you guys now that orders have tailed off I actually had time to fix mine! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sorry to hijack the thread but it is relevant, whats the easiest way to fit the reflectors, bumper off or on? If on hows best to get access, through the wheel guard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyg Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 U need the bumper off other wise u won't be able to fit/refit the reflectors, especially on the drivers side as the washer bottles in the way, I managed mine going throughout the wheel arch, didn't have to take my wheels off just turned them in, was fairly easy to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Same. Ive managed it 3 times now with removing the 6 plastic clips ontop of the bumper, remove the 3 screws in each where arch and then 2 screws on either side underneath the bumper, this allows you to flex the bumper enough to unscrew the reflectors.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 How about this mod? http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-do-yourself/6101-diy-headlight-leds-blackout.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Haha, having done that a couple of times on my Celica, I NEVER want to do it again. The end result was great, but the hassle isn't worth it, plus I could never get one of the lights sealed again properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDON Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 are you planning to do these for the facelift reflectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Possibly at some point. I couldn't find a supplier of the reflector units that were priced well. As in, less than £20.00. Cheapest I could find was about £45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
