As the black with red color scheme seems to work nicely, I ordered some
replacement indicators for the C1 through ebay. [box.jpg light1.jpg light2.jpg protect.jpg side1.jpg side2.jpg side3.jpg solder.jpg tape.jpg]
 Installation is a bit trickier then you might expect. Led have to be
connected in the right polarity and unfortunatly (at least on my C1) the
wires were not correct for the led lights. But we'll start at the beginning. Removing the side lights. Push the
light towards the front of the car and it will come out. [box.jpg light1.jpg light2.jpg protect.jpg side1.jpg side2.jpg side3.jpg solder.jpg tape.jpg]

 Remove the tape and get the wires out of the duct. [box.jpg light1.jpg light2.jpg protect.jpg side1.jpg side2.jpg side3.jpg solder.jpg tape.jpg]
 Remove the light from the connector and do something to protect the
paint work when soldering. I used a bit of plastic and my trusty
ducttape. [box.jpg light1.jpg light2.jpg protect.jpg side1.jpg side2.jpg side3.jpg solder.jpg tape.jpg]
 Then the exciting bit, cut the wires, strip them, and solder them back
together, switching the + and -. [box.jpg light1.jpg light2.jpg protect.jpg side1.jpg side2.jpg side3.jpg solder.jpg tape.jpg]
 Then put all the tape back and plug the light on. [box.jpg light1.jpg light2.jpg protect.jpg side1.jpg side2.jpg side3.jpg solder.jpg tape.jpg]
 Put the light back in and you're done. [box.jpg light1.jpg light2.jpg protect.jpg side1.jpg side2.jpg side3.jpg solder.jpg tape.jpg]
 The light a bit bigger then the standard side lights, looks much nicer
in my opinion and with the 4 leds gives enough light. |
