Led Rear Bumper Reflectors Installed

[Peter P18]

Hey Guys,

Managed to get my LED reflectors fitted and wired up today. :)

The lights are duel function, in the sense they work as additional brake lights, but also stay lit when the lights are on. If you brake when it's dark, they get brighter to show you are braking.

Thanks to my lovely wife, here's some shots I took at dusk, and once it got dark. :)

Really nice detail these. Enjoy!

Lol, cheers guys. :)

Mine were from the States David. I found them on eBay, and got my good buddy in Houston to buy them for me. :)

He shipped them over with some of my other goodies. ;)

Just my real carbon pillar trims and illuminated door sills to go! Lol.

Peter P18 What wires did you tap into, in other words, what colour of wire on the LED goes to what wire in the card wiring loom for the rear lights?

Hi John,

I followed this guide from our US brethren! ;)

Unless you're handy with wiring, I suggest you find a local ICE shop to do the splicing for you. I used some really nice guys near me who only charged £20 for the job. They also taped everything up, shortened everything etc.

The rear bumper is quite easy to remove. Just make sure you have a soft cloth, rug, sheet etc underneath to avoid scratching it. You have two screws in the arches, two under the colour coded covers in top, two underneath near the tires. There's also two plugs underneath to pry out. These were quite tricky to remove, mainly due to road grime, dirt etc build up.

Give me a shout if you need any help chap. :)

Important also to remember your rear bumper parking sensors are all wired up inside the bumper. You do get some slack, but you'll see a grommet holding a harness. Pop out the harness to allow you to rest the bumper on the ground.

Best of luck! :)

Many thanks, not sire when I'm fitting them but your bumper removal guide is very helpful and the wiring info on the other side is ideal!

Thanks again will post a photo when done :)

Got them installed, was brave enough to remove bumper... Got the smoked version looks good against the white car... Comments welcome!

Ps where can I get my tail lights smoked somewhere around west Lothian Edinburgh etc area or in Scotland? :)
