Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Yes, it was seeing this affect on production cars that got me thinking, when I was looking for LED lamps; hence trying them before buying! Quote
Terryathome Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 looks like a clear lense and i bet just 2 coloured led,s behind it so being bespke and that may be the reason you can,t find it on the web. might be that you look for the housing and make it bespoke youself. just my thoughts. Terry Quote
Quinten Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 If it's bespoke then that's a shame... they should make a production version of it Quote
Rusty Nuts Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Have a look at these look like what your looking for: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Rear-Lights-CARBON-Pods-Kit-Car-Caterham-Westfield-/231226005167?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35d624d6af Quote
Quinten Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 No, they are nothing like it I'm afraid. The ones in your link are 'handed', of which there are plenty of others. Mine (I wish!) have the indicator as a rectangle border around the stop/tail part. Quote
Quinten Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 Well, I never found the ones that I spotted that day, but I did come across these beauties Got them from Roadvision in Australia, had them shipped to a friend living there and then 'smuggled' into the UK by his dad when he returned from a trip 'down under'. 1 Quote
Quinten Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 And after a small hickup with the 1st set of a HK special (burned brightly for 3 seconds and then it was an ex-HK special), I installed a high level brake light tonight as well. It has also got a 'dim' mode for when the side lights are on, and features indicators (below image has the hazards on). Christmas tree? Maybe, but I'd rather be seen from afar, then missed from nearby Only issue I discovered is that it 'leaks' some current to the stop light on the arches, so ordered some diodes to put a stop to that...

Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 looks nice and slim - where did you find it, Quinten? Quote
Quinten Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321673765595Can be had cheaper than that though... Quote

Quinten Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 And today's moral of the story is: check you've done your cable ties up correctly... Got stopped 3 times by concerned motorists on Thursday/Friday that my lights were flickering on/off all the time like a mobile disco. When I checked the car over whilst parked everything was working as it should, but on Friday afternoon I disconnected the high level brake light which I had attributed to be the cause of the problem and drove home without my lights on.So into the garage again today and focussing on the connector for the high level brake light and then (after pretty much ripping everything out) discovering that the cause was a failed/incorrectly done up tie wrap on one of the rear lights is a proper forehead slapping moment Quote
