They are both working.
Sascha, if you want to have a pair of these LED rear indicators, drop me a PM at german forum. Didn't fit them in the end.

Yes, no need to change the side repeaters to LED, they work fine with the relay designed for LED indicators.

Almost forgot - the front indicators are now LED:



Not sure if I made the right choice on the colour, perhaps I should have gone for orange rather than the clear lenses, as they look a little 'blingy' to me...

I had forgotten about this thread - done so much since then!

I still love the LED's, and the HID headlights are great, so bright compared to standard.

Cheers Andy👍 I looked high and low for the orginal one I bought back in April but no luck...no doubt the motha will turn up as soon as the new one arrives..at least I'll have a spare!

Chris: agreed the HIDs are the dogs .Ive ran mine since I've had the car and have had no issues. I've also had a little up grade in the rear inner arches which will accept the wider 265 rubber and run the same ride night as now. Unbelieveably ive raised the fronts by 14mm due to 40 profile rubber and there's no rubbing at all. The car will be in for a full geo. Set up once its been painted and trimmed...I guess I won't be seeing the car until about May I guess....still as long as it's ready for my trip to the F1 at Austria then a week bombing round Italy with my mates.....happy days !

I too am hoping to drive the Tam to Italy this year, albeit work related. (Didn't get the Tam out this weekend, too much work frown )

I will buy the new tyres nearer my post run-in service in May, and have Power increase the ride height and do a full geo (225/40's on the front and 235/255's on the rear)

This thread has been very helpful regarding these LED lights and I have been thinking about it for ages.
I have decided to go for it and see if I can get them for this weekends soft top Sunday at goodwood. I want to buy all clear/white lights with no red ones but I know that I need red reflectors though so not sure how good it will look. What do people think?

I've never seen one with all white lights, so don't know how it'd look, TBH.

I still love them, my wife tells me she can certainly see me brake when she's behind me.

I note that the official TVR parts site now sell these LED's as an upgrade.

(My wife absolutely loves her R53 Cooper S - what can I do to improve it? hehe )

I've been in the garage wiring mine up this evening. I've gone for white indicators on the front and wasn't too sure but against the new paint work they look far better than antiisipated, but I've remained with the orange for the rears. I've also wired the extra two brake lights in at the top set tail lights...of freak me the whole garage glowed red like a brothel wink the reverse light is fantastic and is very bright much better that the orginal bulb configuration.

I'm really pleased with the outcome, they may not be to everyone's taste but I like them and I'm sure the purists will be biting their lips but I don't care about them it's my car. I've kept all the orginal bits off the car with all the mods I've done so if I ever do decide to sell at least the new owner can revert back to standard if he so wishes.

Tried the extra 2 brake lights myself but it was so bright traveling behind the car I ended up cutting the wires and just sticking to 4 tail lights & the 3 brake lights.

Had mine done but we swapped the reverse and fog light so that the new LED lights were all in a verticle line

Fog light has to be on the driver's side otherwise it will fail the MoT test.
