I don't like so much lexus-style taillights, 'cause here in Italy everyone has got them, and it is mainly a 18-years-old-just-drive-licensed-stupid-guy thing!!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> It's just horrible seeing old cars of then years ago pimped with this lexus lights, and seeing the proud faces of their owners!!! So, according to me, the original lights of lupo are not so beautiful to see, 'cause they are not transparent and too simple in the aspect. The best thing would be getting some LED tailights, as I posted a lot of time ago... The only one existing are from Hella, but they're so ugly!! And you have to paint them as your car paint, fact that I don't like at all... Maybe the best solution would be this: get lexus-style or cambridge lights, and change the normal light (stop/position and arrows) with a matrix of LEDs. The car with one of the most beautiful LED taillights that would be perfect (as shape) for Lupo is the BMW 3-series (cabrio/coupe 2003 edition). What do you think about? Ciao!

style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I'm from Italy, where almost each form of tuning/styling is forbidden!!!! Even improving the lights is illegal! Consider that police can retire my car if after a check it is not original as it was made! But, in effect, a lot of people here goes around with blue led in the front lights and police pretend not to see them! But if they check you it's a big trouble! The italian law for xenon lights says that this kind of lights MUST have washing jets and autoleveling, and it's strictly forbidden to add (in a second time) xenon lights kit to cars born without this optional. They are very severe against the ones who mount xenon kits, so I wandered if mounting legal xenon lights (for they're original vw on the GTI version) would be legal! But being to much expensive and complicated (for the different position of the single lights between standard lupo and GTI version), I think I'll get only the back led clusters and maybe a GTI whenever I'll have some money! Thanx!

Thank you both for your very fast answers!!! Thank you Tigz for your explanations, the important is to change the stop lights! Thank you snoopstah, you centered what I need! In fact mine is mainly a safety matter, so the important for me is to get a lower turn-on time typical of the leds. I saw there are a lot of lexus-style transparent led tail lights for a lot of cars but vw lupo! So I'm going to buy this cluster of led in substitution of the normal stop-light bulb! So I would get you another question: Is it possible to mount on a normal Lupo 1.0 the xenon lights of the Lupo GTI? I mean, maybe going to my vw store and asking them the xenon module of GTI, or making them mount it on my car! Thank you again a lot!

I everyone! This forum is very good! This is my question: I'm looking for LED taillights for VW Lupo. I found the ones by Hella but I don't like their style and the need to be painted the same color of the car. So I was wandering if it is possible to buy only the LED light (not the whole tail light!), open my normal tail light, and change the normal light (I mean the stop/position light, and maybe the turn light) with the LED module. So this module could even be white (instead of red), because the red color will be given by the plastic cover of the normal tail light module. Is on sale such a LED module light for this purpose? Is it possible to make what I've described? If so, will I need any adapter for current/voltage of LED lights or it is inside the module itself? Thank you everybody, Ciao!
