Got the leds off ebay £3.50p inc delivery for a pair,got a spare set of rear lights.... followed the "How to guide" and 2 mins to fit each side. Jobs a gooden laugh
Wanted to keep the rear looking original with the lights off, so only did the top 2 lights.

The pic below is showing the drivers side fitted compared to the nearside original... and I washed the coupe after the pic was taken thumb !!

I have kept my original lights which can be fitted back to my Coupe in a couple of minutes smash

Very nice Naf cool

Get some spare leds while you can and at that price, as one of my first ones failed in less than a year frown

I had spare ones though, so easily replaced smile

Nice chapper, - following out discussion - chap - youve made the correct choice, -looks nice chapper,

arent you happy you did it now.

I also have to whip the reverse/indicator out and re-doo the lights again, (3 leds out) in the light cluster.

shitter - but to be done soon.

I'm well pleased with the Led's R00.... I loved the original look of my Coupe Plus..... but As you've seen at AutoItalia I've added a couple of little extra's to improve the look..(Imo) Carbon look centre console and door pillars.
It takes minutes to swap over the rear lights and the leds are so cheap and it makes such a big difference to the rear at night driving thumb

Yep.... The bulb is still in there but the wire is cut....... You could have them working either as the tail light or as a brake light, depending how you choose to wire them up!!!

All done properly mate, you split the old lights and fit the LEDs inside the rear lens then glue back together and apply some sealant around the edge..... Job done!!
There is a 'how to guide' on the forum. laugh

how to for the rear led lights - http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1214112#Post1214112

i have done the top and bottom lights but left them so it looks standard during the day but at night you get two sets of rings as tail lights and the bulbs do the rest for brakes , indicators , fog and reverse lights .

Have you cut the orange wire..... It mustn't stay connected as it lights the side lights?
