Even though I'm pissed that the LEDs are standard overseas and we don't even get the option of installing LED tail lights here in Australia, I'm wouldn't be very keen to do anything that would void the warranty...

I am going to make a DIY guide on how to install the LED taillights this weekend. I will take lots of pictures for you guys! :) Insted of cutting in the original wires to make the bi-color and the indicator lights work, I will show you how we can make all the adjustments in the taillight connection! This is to make it all look better and not tamper with the original wires.

By doing the work in this way, the warranty will not be affected! This is because all the work is going on in the tail lamp, and not in the wires.

Hi,
Did you find a solution for the rear fog light?

Hey are those yours? I'm looking to do it and if it's true, the price on that link is too good to be true!

Need to buy the long cable though.

Yep they're mine. Although I have now sold them privately which is good as the 10% ebay feed would've been silly if I'd got the same money.

This is the picture GUIDE!!!

Please ask me questions if you have any! :) Tried to explain the best that I could. We did everything we could to not touch the original electronic wires in the car. All the solder was added to the taillight it self, to provide us for making the bridge from Pin 1 to Pin 4. This will make the fog light and inner indicator work.

BEST FOR LUCK GUYS!!!!
We used about 1.hour on each side. :D

Thanks mate! A lot of prep work needed it seems, but the result is sweet!
