Trebor Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi guys got my LED side light bulbs thought i'd share the pic's...Here is a pic of the back of the light unit in the engine bay. Some of you seem to have got stuck after taking the back off,what your after is the small black unit in the picture with the 2 wires going into it.Admittedly these things are not the easiest beggars to get out persuasion or use of pliers will get them out.Before fitting the bulb back in make sure you have the bulb the right way round or they won't light up.Once fitted they look like this....here's the before...Here's the after...

BenSilverLupo Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Iv done the exact same mod, really cleans the look of the front end up in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lauryn Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I got really good LED side lights from ultraleds, never failed me, and they are the same fitment in the Lupo so took them out to fit soon. Only prob is that I had a look today and everything under the bonnet is so snug, cant get in to fit the bulbs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
