LED tail lights

[Northern Monkey]

Really liking the tinted LEDs @Pauly wish they had been an option when I ordered my van, would have definitely gone for them.

This modifying malarkey is not all it's cracked up to be gone 9pm in the dark and cant lock the van until this lot is sorted out

 

[Northern Monkey]

Ouch hope you get it sorted quickly @Pauly

Don't cut the red one .........

Got it done eventually, had to replace the tailgate loom to accommodate some of my tinkering and the fools that made it did it wrong so ended up spending hours undoing loom tape and altering to make it fit - not fun but got there in the end

I noticed the other day there are 3 different rear light clusters. The standard one, led one with the indicator at the top and an led one with the reverse light at the top. I specd rear camera on mine and have the reverse at the top I think they did it this way for the ones fitted with the reverse camera to help with reversing in the dark.

There's the barn door LED's as well, I think???

 

[Pauly]

Yeah barns and tailgate are different and even the standard LEDs have about six varieties depending on tint and vehicle age

I saw all of these on the tailgate version 1 was a velle though (indicator at the top)

Yep my velle has reversing camera and reversing lights at the top

Questions for all of you with reverse cameras. Do any of you have the standard stereo fitted? If so how good is the picture?

 

[Caravellet6]

Mines the satnav one with larger screen but picture is quite good, quite a wide angle considering where its positioned, fine for reversing and especially good for spotting movement behind you like idiots in supermarket wheeling their trolley behind you while reversing. My only complaint, driving in rain soon messes up the view with water and crud on the lens, but short of a wash wipe which I'm sure isn't an option....
Mind you @Pauly could probably make one out of an old 12v motor and a toothbrush.....

I only have parking sensors at the rear on mine. I had reverse camera in my polo GTi (which I traded in for the van) and I used to get rain obstructing view from time to time, not that I really needed it on a polo lol.

 

[Pauly]

I have sat nav unit as well

 

[Stevefrs]

Thanks just wondering what it will look like on the smaller screen. May need to look at an upgrade...
