Hey guys,
Since some of you liked my front lip DIY, I thought I'll post up another DIY that I did tonight. This time is my rear reverse light, spent about 3 hours on this.
Since I changed my right reverse light for a fog light, I've notice I can barely see when I'm reversing during night time, as I'm only left with one light, so I thought I'd brighten things up with 96 LEDs
Luckily, I found myself a pair of 2nd hand reverse lights to stuff around with.
Here's some pics of the process:
I opened up the reverse light housing
Connected two 48 LED panels together
Connected the T10 end to the plug
Made a surround/backing for the LED panels (yes it's a half dodgy job lol)
Because I wanted white light, not yellow light, I thought I'd try and clean the lens a bit lol.
Started to wet sand it with 1200
Finished it off with 2000 and a polish and BAM! The crap is off.
Put the brand new looking lens back on
Due to the time now, I haven't had a chance to put it back onto the car. But I don't think I'll convert my rear fog light to LED, as it's definitely gonna blind people behind me lol.
