Foglights To Sidelights Mod!

[eightysix]

first of all, yes I did a search on the forum :)

the thing is, i only found diy's to do the foglights to brakelights mod.

I want to do the full mod so they run together with the backlights, and work as brakelights - foglights too.

And i didn't found any tutorial of this.

Only that i had to order 2 x 81555-53010, dual filament holder. I did this today at the lexus dealership.

But he didn't know what lights i needed to order for it.

Can anyone help me how to install them and what part nr the lights are?

thanks!!

The bulbs are exactly the same as the brakes as there doing the same job i'd assume.

How much did your lamp holders cost as i've done the brake mod but need the dual filament holders to do the full mod.

it was +-59 euro for both, thats around 36 pounds i think

do you know how to do the full mod?

[sparkystav]

not really sure haven't looked into it yet as i haven't got the bulb holders yet but i assume you'd just take a feed off the live to the rear lights?

the full mod is in the workshop section - or was unless someone has deleted it.

Thats only for the fog/brake conversion not to have them working as tail lights as well

hmm i don't understand anything of that german tutorial.

Do they use the dual filament holders or do they make them theirselves? :s

no one has an english tutorial?

but isn't that the tutorial for only having them as brakelights?

[SHAHZ]

if you want it as break & tail you will need the dual filalment bulb holder.....it will need modifiying slightly to fit in the fog light lens.....the tutorial shows how to set up the brake light, as for the tail light you can tap into the live either from the one of the existing tail lights, or from the number plate light :)

As i wrote above i ordered the dual filalment bulb holders.

Can anyone provide me a step by step tutorial for this?

thanks in advance

5 posts up is the link

[eightysix]

yes in german...

[Monster-Mat]

no, see where it says LINK, thats the link

no, see where it says LINK, thats the link

In post number 11 - but that's for Fog-to-Brake, eightysix already looked at it but wants Fog-to-Tail.

[Monster-Mat]

as has been said, before, its easy if you have the double fillament lamp holders which he has as you just take a feed from the number plate lights, them acting as tail lamps is easy, its the fog to brake thats the involved process, hence the link for the fog to brake.....

if you just want the fogs to be fogs, use the double fillament bulb holder, and on the second set of wires use the feed from the number plate lights.....

[lexicon]

I know that. You know that.

I think 86 needs more basic assistance given that his 1st Q was what bulbs to use.

@eightysix: you need to use the brake mod given above connected to the 21watt filament of your dual filament holder AND also connect a direct feed from the number plate lamp to the 5w filament.

Maybe someone else can tell you which is which if you can't figure it out.
