I worry it will be a bit too much all in blue.

Agreed. I'm looking forward to pictures.

ok me and kevin will be the guinea pigs

About to change the topic title, as it's a little confusing at the moment.

Nick · 2nd June 2006, 09:29

yeh, it is confusing.

btw, an update on the rear ceiling lights... it does look quite stunning at night in my opinion. floods the whole back seat area in blue!

kevin_lufc · 2nd June 2006, 09:30

I should, all being well get them tomorrow morning. I will TRY and fit them and as soon as I can, will try and post the best pics to show how it looks or doesn’t which ever it may be

. I just thought if your changing the rear, why would you leave the fronts. Thinking the car lit up blue at night when you unlock the doors might look good.

Anyway if it looks crap they will be going on eBay.

At the moment, by adjusting the back blue LEDs direction, you can either

1. Have a gentle blue flood to the car (turn LEDs to fact upwards)
2. Have blue lighting focus around the gear stick area (twist LEDs to face towards the dash area)
3. Make the back glow blue (turn towards rear of car)

When you sit in the car, the white/yellow lamps in the front keep the lighting fairly "normal" but it does look nice from the outside in the back.

Ok, I have recieved the LED's this morning, or should I say The rear LED. Bit of a computer **** up at Autoblubs and they only sent out the rear. Anyway just phoned them and they are sending out the front's, so should get them on Monday/Tuesday.
The rear took me about 5 seconds to replace. The credit card idea to remove the frosted plastic cover is a great. And thanks to Basegreen for his how to,because I would have taken the WHOLE housing off

. Just waiting for night fall now to check the effect. I am away this weekend so I might not get a chance to take pics, they might not show up anyway.

Nick · 3rd June 2006, 12:41

received the two front LED's this morning. fixed it on. will take pics later!

NB: use very thin screwdriver to take off covers.

kevin_lufc · 3rd June 2006, 13:20

New LED rear Interior light.

elfa7 · 3rd June 2006, 20:04

Nice picture, but it looks better in the flesh.

basegreen · 3rd June 2006, 21:38

If I get time tomorrow, I'll do some low-light pictures and see how they come out.

Nick · 3rd June 2006, 22:36

here are a few pictures, both front and rear ceiling lights.

also u may find front lights dont fit properly, so wot i done was take out the bracket surrounding the bulb on the casing.

Nick · 3rd June 2006, 22:38

fourth pic didn't fit, so made 2nd reply...

kevin_lufc · 4th June 2006, 15:20

Spent Saturday night at my girlfriends brothers in Birmingham. Its the first time the "in-laws" have seen the car. Very taken with it they were

.I kept banging on about this that and the other....as you do. Anyway we all went out for a meal and drinks....lots of drinks

, came home late, picked up my car keys and walked outside and spent 5 mins locking and unlocking the car just to see the blue lights....sad I KNOW, but it looks the dogs b****s at night. Can't wait to do the front.

PS the "in-laws" thought I was on drugs....

elfa7 · 4th June 2006, 16:09

Funny story, Kevin. Not surprised that the in-laws are worried !

Lights look great, got to do my fronts yet.

kevin_lufc · 4th June 2006, 20:13

I hope to get my LED's on Monday/Tuesday so as soon as I get home they will be in :P

kevin_lufc · 5th June 2006, 22:01

Fitted the front LED's today,took me about a min, looks great at night. Very effective.

Fedorov · 5th June 2006, 22:37

Was there some issue with the front ones not fitting easily did I read?

Can you experts who've already done front+rear post links for exactly what I need to order please, I need to join this club

Thanks - more night pics please!
