LED strobing rear lights
Not wanting to hijack the thread but does anyone know if my rear light is lit correctly?
Lights on, the 3 x bars at the top are lit but also a bulb underneath? Would look better just the three bars and not sure if it’s correct?
EDIT. Looking at macs video, he doesn’t have a bulb lit in his

What kit is this and how does it look installed? I'm intrigued just to do the brake light bit.mac27040 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2017 8:39 pm Well before the purists have another moan about modifying Z4’s this only cost me £10.88 and can easily remove it.
Anyway finished wiring it up tonight and love the indicator strobe, 50/50 on some of the Colours but cannot change them.

That's known as the "T" effect, normally when FL lights are fitted to a pre FL car, and it's not been coded correctly.dans6490 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2017 10:14 am Not wanting to hijack the thread but does anyone know if my rear light is lit correctly?

Ok, thanks, that would make sense. I haven’t opened the light to have a look but is this a separate bulb to the brake light bulb?Ducklakeview wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2017 12:05 pm

If it matched with the indicator then would be quite cool.

My first thought was .... yeah, I’ll put that on right after I install the trumpet muffler.... but then I remembered the old T-Bird or the Cougar had indicators that were sequential so they could be interesting, kind of trashy but cool at the same time.
Do they stick on the bottom edge of the boot lid?

double sided tape so this is easy to remove, needs a better solution ie strip needs really to be shorter, i have a mate who might be able to make these to fit.Ducklakeview wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2017 9:45 pmOrdered, erm three lol...mac27040 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2017 9:40 pm This is the simple kit https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/162652344381
