LED NOBLE REAR LIGHTS
Discussion
Ok so i had a bit of spare time this week end,to look at improving the look of the rear lights. These arnt finished yet,but you can see where im going with them.Im pretty happy with the outcome so far. I wanted to do something with them some time ago,
but was way too busy with other projects.
PS; these LEDs are BAF

Looking good....... can I ask, are you going to tint or spray black the old part of the lens ? Also how do you trim the edge where the circles meet the old lens, particularly as the indicator lens is on a curved piece of the outside edge of the old lens.
Just interested to learn more about what you've done

Yes they will be colour coded to match inner clam panel (black)and cleaned up. Holes are perfect circles,so no gap issues.Just interested to learn more about what you've done

lovely looking car, nice lights as well.,. whats that duct in the cill below the air scoop for ?? just being nosey...
Hiya I put the duct into sides of Graham's car . Same as on mine it gives cooling to the alternator and to the front turbo area . Was developed on track to aid against heat soak along with a few other additions we copied of mine onto car when gc1 had it coolchris said:
Me personally think Tony's lights look a lot better and the finished product is not there yet I think its the carbon look on he lenses that don't look right dare I say max power ish but taste is a very personal thing and I realise its everyone to there own
Hi Chris,yes your right,you can do a DIY job,but i wanted to try something that could be returned to standard if ever need be,and i wanted to do something that looked like a "profesional job" opposed to one that looks like a diy bodge job using the origional housing all be it that they are modified somewhat.My take on the mod was never that i was the first to do it,but to have an alternative to the trailblazers and afterburners lights that arnt avaliable anymore. Actually now looking at them, i do prefer what ive done,and budget wise the cost diff was massive.
Housings are now in paint,but look better and better as the process comes along.
Good attention to detail there as always Tony 
I only have one design comment - and it may be the photo, or the fact that the design is in progress - but the outer light unit being offset looks odd to me. The autogyro in my eyes feel it should align along the same (horizontal and vertical) plane as the inner one (not necessarily inline though). As it is it looks slanted outwards. 
Question - what happens with the lights in the original unit behind - do they still work are they now dummy?

Good observation Rob,and yes your right in the pic, the outer led cluster it is slightly offset. I hadnt made the modification to level the outer led with the inner one before the pic.I had only just modified the casing and was checking to make shure both light clusters fitted in the cutouts.Trust me for being hasty!!!!

In answer to the second question..... NO and NO

How on earth can you return yours to standard once you've cut holes in them and painted them?
How will yours look professional vs bodge when you're using the same originals as GC1 has?
The LEDs I've seen available come to around £200 on their own so are those you're using significantly cheaper? If so where are they from as I'd like to take a look.
Thanks

ok so wot i ment was i have the original lens boxes. Ive sourced some more which ive modded.No alterations or mods to the wiring or body work have been made,so i can return the standard lenses in at any point. should have explained myself a little clearer.By a professional finish,ive seen said lenses and i wanted the finish to look just that bit neater, nor did i want the leds to be recessed into the lens covers.personal choice.How on earth can you return yours to standard once you've cut holes in them and painted them?
