I've changed the interior lighting from green into red

plcc-2 red leds for oem cd player and steering wheel remote control, door switches, red bulbs for central console and cigarette lighter, 5mm red leds for headlight beam switch and traction control...

I will change the oem gearstick leather soon so I tried something crazy

This is how it looks now:

Nice mods there!
Finally somebody who also takes the risk to break everything up, and replace the lights (they all said I was crazy by doing that)

Carbon is not my taste, but it has been mounted very good, seems you can work good with a hairdryer

About the taillights, do they also work as normal citylight?

Grtz!

Rear fog lights work with brake lights now, not as city lights...and I can still use rear fog lights when I need to turn them on only

The only "problem" is that small tacho bulb for rear fog lights, turn on, when I brake

These pictures helped me

I'm working on my OEM gearstick as well, haha

Nice update with the lights!

GeplaatstCOLON **Za Nov 05, 2011 23:49**

nice update with the taillights

And also the interior light looks much better. If you had a facelift tsport everything was already red.

Hehe, I also had that problem first, when I modified my lights.
Here is a tutorial I have made, to make them work as citylight + brakelight.
But then the foglight option is deleted. But easy to replace back to normal

Maybe you don't understand the language, but the pics are clear enough I think:

Noedel, I saw your DIY but I just wanted them to work as brake lights

Interesting part is that US module, which I'm not sure where to buy and how to install...

In Serbia we gotta have lights turned on day and night

GeplaatstCOLON **Zo Nov 06, 2011 18:23**

Oh ok

I have ordered the US module on this website: http://www.uslights.nl" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Pay with paypal, and it will be shipped to the paypal adress.
They go on with the citylights, but when u use the indicator to turn left or right, it will completely go out.
When u stop indicating, it takes 2 seconds and they glow again.
Costed me €40 I think, looks classy I think

Wow, cool

Any problems installing? Did you get the instalation manual for that?

Do you know, if I can use us module for front lights instead of repeaters?

GeplaatstCOLON **Zo Nov 06, 2011 20:17**

The website claims that you'll get a diagram when you order a module.
Of course the text on the diagrams is in Dutch, (assuming it's the same diagram that they show on their website)
but if you're struggling with that, I'm sure someone can translate it into English for you, I could do that if you want me to.

I don't have the module myself, so aside from translating the instructions, I won't be much help on this matter.

GeplaatstCOLON **Ma Nov 07, 2011 15:17**

What do you mean with "use it on front lights instead of repeaters" ?
Because they go on from the moment u switch on the front lights.
The installation manual is in the box, the schedule is clear enough.
But you must take off the front bumper and lights to get to the wires

I have to turn on headlights all day long

I don't need my headlights to work 100% of its power all day long, city lights would be ok with 30-50%...during the day. I hope you understand what I mean

In other words, How can I install somethong like a dimmer for headlights? Would that be safe?

Oh I didn't even know that exists

It is possible with this US module, but the dimmer % adjustment is done in a small black box which is attached to the wires.
And it's not really useful if you have to do that every morning and evening

So in your place I would try the dimmer switch that you showed in the link.
