Couple of queries

Howdy all.

Reversing light on T6 (single) is pants.

So thinking of doing something, paying someone to do something.

Ledsom nano been mentioned. Any thoughts?

AND…..

Can’t afford led lights, have h7’s, but was thinking if something like Nuuk e-lite. For the country lanes etc, not for road legal etc, maybe a dashboard rocker switch.

Again, any thoughts.

Not sure can justify lazer lights etc

Try Twenty20 led for the reversing?

Cheap and easy enough and might be enough for you?

 

[Chris1983]

Yeah, done that. Still seems pants. Wonder if with it being tailgate and thus only one light? Compared to barn doors having two?

Source some oem rear led light clusters to give you twin reversing and fog lights. Stick some 20twenty led bulbs in.....
Someone on here has some for sale I believe

20Twenty is perhaps one of the best mods I did on my Cali. Ok, I have twin reversing lamps, but live in the sticks….lights up the drive like Blackpool when reversing onto it!

Is OEM rear clusters a plug and play jobbie? I am not particularly electrically savvy. Thanks for info

Nor am I but I've done it twice using both methods:-
1. Re-pin the halogen connectors into the LED connectors
2. Get a short conversion loom/lead which plugs into your original sockets on the van and the LED socket.

To enable the twin reverse and twin fog functions you need to add 2 wires to run between the LED lights, either under the van or, as I've done, up and over the tailgate.

The physical removal of the light units is a 2 minute job, 2 screws and a shove in the right place.

If you search the forum, there is several threads on all this

Anyone link to folk who have done this? Tried searching and found a few swamped style ones but nothing straightforward

Thread 'Barn Door Halogen to Tailgate LED Rear Lights - pinout'

13 Sep 2018

I’m converting my van from barn doors to a tailgate which means I need to change my tail lights. This is how I changed mine to LED lights.

Removing the lights is simply 2 screws but the wiring plug is different. You don’t need to crimp or cut any wires to make the conversion.
Start my removing the wires from your existing plug. To do this you’ll need to slide the purple locking gate to enable the pins to be extracted.


To remove the wires, you need a release tool which I didn’t have. I used a 2mm Allen key to release each tab. If you pull the wire lightly, you can feel when...
