Hi all.

So how exactly do I do this rear light mod? Lots of threads telling me how easy it is, just connect a wire here and there and hey presto.

Has anyone any pics of it wired up so I can copy. Please. Or explain to me in detail what I do.

Please help, someone...

As I say, lots of threads of people doing it, some with pictures of before and after etc but none really explaining how it's done

Thanks.

Is this one of the links that you've read? 3.2 rear tail/brake light mod with pics

Surely the wiring is just a matter of identifying the particular circuit you are looking for and then splicing an additional wire into it for the new bulb holder? And supplying an earth of course.

Hi AlBez, Simon I think he’s got a mk4 which has the same rear lens cluster as the mk3 but with all the bulb holders intact,

AlBez find my post on it and all will be revealed, no pics needed just remove the lenses and look for the wires once you’ve removed

The insulating tape that’s hiding the wire you need to re-join, and you have to keep the rear door closed to removal the drivers one.

Hope this helpd

Well...

Quick update for those who are bothered, if any?

Took the light unit off and screwed it straight back on. I haven’t got a clue what the fk I’m doing! Not starting cutting wires as I’ll cut the wrong one and break something.

So if anyone lives round Manchester and knows what they’re doing and are free on a weekend I can happily pay in tea, beer, and bacon buttons if you fancy helping me. Also happy to pay an auto electrician as I could do with this job doing for winter. Especially with the Mrs driving with the kids in.

Thanks to everyone for their help

So all I need to do is insert a bulb into existing holders and fix it to the appropriate wires.

Do I have to cut into the plastic light cluster to make a hole .

I have done mine. The rear side light is already in, as said above, remove tape and a spare wire will be revealed, connect this to the multi plug coming from the body.

The indicator is slightly harder. You need bulb and holder, about a tenner from eBay. Then drill 25mm hole into top of cluster. The moulding is there, just drill it out. Insert holder and seal. Then you need to connect ground to the black wire of the bulb below and the positive to the only remaining unused cable at the body multi plug.

Mid job, prior to soldering and heatshrink, I suggest testing before you tidy it all up...

Result..
