Greetings all,
Does anyone have any ideas to upgrade the inside high mount brake light to LED?
I have replaced so many globes and holders due to overheating / melting, perhaps I shouldn't use the brakes so much? :driving:
Mine is a VP, the inner reflector comes apart from the housing after you remove the two screws holding it in there. It is made by Hella, the inner reflector has a part number 953 852 and the red lens is 953 851. Are the later models lights (VT onwards) the same? They have the same shape and look the same ... :unsure:
Andy05 removed his and installed a bayonet type LED globe (see post #53):

He mentions that the VR / VS has LEDs, but not sure if that is correct becuase my VT has a globe :unsure:
What I'm after though is a LED bar or something that would fill the whole area, rather than just the middle and keep it looking "stock" from the outside.
Does anyone know if a kit exists that will just fit in there, or adapt an existing kit? I know I could probably make something on a breadboard but would need to work out number of LEDs, voltages, etc ... too much trouble and I'm being a bit slack ... :sleeping:
