LED strobing rear lights

[mac27040]

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.

I'd be surprised if the indicators are road legal, the multi coloured one definitely isn't

looks stupid :lol:

Nice idea, it’ll be great for a show car.

 

[bz4kev]

Night rider nice idea not to keen on multicoloured definitely look good on show car stand

I would be happy with it just illuminating red on braking as it looks quite good going full width

What does the LED strip part look like in the day, is it barely visible or stand out like a sore thumb?

EDIT: I like the idea of a brake light like this

 

[mac27040]

I currently have wired it so it only works if tail lights are on so during the day not on. It should light up red when brake lights come on

I think they look cool - very Knight Rider'ish. Got me wondering if I can put them on the Coupe.

Can you share the link as to where you got them please. I love a fun cheap mod.

Not my cup of tea. We will have come around on the Saturday night before zedfest and you can give us a light show Neil

 

[Bing]

Not sold on the multi-colour one, but the indicator linked one looks ok. Can you play with the timing so it matches the indicator speed ?

 

[Joycey]

It would be a very boring world if we were all the same. I like the mod as a brake light, maybe even hooked up to the brake force indicator so when you brake really heavy it comes on.

Now this would be good

I LIKE that!

Neil, I see you've gone "facelift" at the rear. Picking my bumper and lights up tomorrow, any tips for the wiring?

And do you have a link for this latest mod?

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.

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.

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?

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