LED Tail Lights

CraigB · **May 01, 2015, 14:48:52**

Thought I might as well finish up with the exterior mods while I'm in spending mode

so I have finally ordered the rear LED's that I've been eyeing off since buying the car nearly 20 months ago

At least I'll be able to fit these myself.

Come on Craig you know the rules.
Pictures please

CraigB · **Reply #2: May 01, 2015, 14:55:49**

I haven't got the lights yet

only just ordered them but they look like this.

Wingerdave · **Reply #3: May 01, 2015, 14:56:47**

Yeah, I've got those too..........

CraigB · **Reply #4: May 08, 2015, 10:12:19**

I was over the moon with excitement when the tail lights turned up an hour ago...a few days earlier than expected, open the box and realise they've sent me lights for a different vehicle

Sorry, but

I can understand your disappointment Craig

I too have been eagerly waiting for a mod (very small one) to arrive, over 5 weeks now so assume it's lost by Aussie Post. The seller has refund me, so that's all good, but I have now lost the drive to do it.

Hope you still go ahead with your mod and provided a step by step post

That's no good Joe

this is the first time ever for me that a wrong part has been sent and I've already sent KMP a nice little complaint email

KMP that's where my mod was coming from, they need to pick up their game

I'd throw it at them

CraigB · **Reply #13: May 19, 2015, 14:27:48**

Fingers crossed that second time round the correct lights are delivered tomorrow

they're already in Perth so should be at my doorstep by 1pm

CraigB · **Reply #14: May 20, 2015, 07:45:46**

Yippy! they're the right ones this time

Very easy to install, there are slight differences in the tailgate lenses with the brake lens being thinner allowing for a larger reverse lens.

Installed difference with LED on the left

Completed

The only annoyance is the indicator bulbs in the new lights have directly opposing pins where the standard bulbs were offset, now my Diadem indicator bulbs don't fit

Dazzler · **Reply #15: May 20, 2015, 07:54:56**

Looks good, pity about the other bulbs!

Shambles · **Reply #16: May 20, 2015, 07:59:29**

Next time it's dark, which should be tonight by my reckoning, can we have a photo of them in action?

You might need to recruit an assistant, unless you have exceptionally long legs

Great job on the swap

Yeah a slight annoyance, I could cut and rewire the other connectors on but I was in a rush to get them installed

I can do that

If I was Dave I could possible use my other longer leg

Here's a better shot, modified from earlier to improve picture.

rustynutz · **Reply #20: May 20, 2015, 11:57:05**

They look pretty bright, Craig...How do they compare to the standard ones?

Much brighter, the phone only showed a red haze so had to use my camera, I had to play around settings to even get the poor quality shown there.

If your standing to close to the back when the brakes are applied it's bloody blinding

rustynutz · **Reply #22: May 20, 2015, 13:20:11**

Thanks for that....Are they ADR compliant?

You might get pulled up for dazzling drivers...

They are genuine OEM Hyundai lights by Mobis so they should be compliant, they're the same as what's on the SR's

CraigB · **Reply #24: May 20, 2015, 14:29:35**

I modified the earlier pictures, they were crap

cruiserfied · **Reply #25: May 20, 2015, 15:13:35**

Now those I do like.

Wingerdave · **Reply #26: May 20, 2015, 22:58:15**

I'm so glad i've got those too, I love them

Dazzler · **Reply #27: May 20, 2015, 23:00:45**

Look awesome at night Craig!

Thanks Dazz, while waiting for the little woman at the train station this evening a couple that was walking by commented on the lights looking hot

I might as well have the badges removed...every person that comments asks what it is

cruiserfied · **Reply #29: May 21, 2015, 15:44:48**

Time for the big I30 decals up the sides.
