Hey socks let me know when it's convenient for you to drop by to get it fixed. Or if you'll organise a light installation meet where we can take a group before and after hahaha. No rush at all

Hvyarms, I still have yours but your payment didn't come through for some reason?

So there is still a couple of sets on offer if anyone is interested. Had a couple of spares just in case there were any probs.

As mentioned make sure you do the install at night if you can. It is worth it just for the light show

Has anyone coded out the globe check with the Carly app?

I just put my lights in, they look great but the flashing looks terrible

EDIT: Found where to do it, coded the check out, all good, no more flashing

Thanks DonR!

EDIT EDIT: Just reading back a page, realised I already asked this and didnt see the response from Socks, derp moment

Good to hear you got them sorted. I think you must be the first one. Post a photo if you can.

The install was easy once a new what I was doing, I did some google searching and pother were able to somehow just pull light harness out from the trunk.

I think LCI lights are different, I got the shits very quickly when these guides weren't working for me, so just took the tail light off which was a piece of cake, 3 nuts removed from the trunk area and it just slides out.

From here you get easy access to unplug the factory globe and remove the two screws, slide the new one in and plug it in.

I took the times to wipe down and clear dirty away from the back of the light and also the car body, hopefully it givers it a nice seal again.

I used the Carly iPhone app to code of the bulb check out.

The Light is 10x brighter, and much more white which is great is way better for night time use, when in reverse at night time my rear camera is actually usable now,

Thanks DonR!!!

Really great news to see them in a working and 10x brighter has to be good and great plus that you can use your reverse camera better at night.

Really appreciate the detailed DIY photos as well.

If anyone still wants in there are a couple of sets still left that were never picked up.

As you can see these are a great mod and add a lot more light when reversing, aside from the better white colour which brings you car back to the future.

Yeah, just doing final testing on the interior kits now. A few different options. I'll let you know at the end of the week.
