That's about 30 foot away, it lights up the gate at the end of my drive approx 50m from the car
Looking ever as good Pat but, we wouldnt expect anything else from you. So much for the 'Im not modifying this one' 6 pages so What was wrong with the reverse light ?
What was wrong with the reverse light ?
Regulators. Quite neat and nicely put together.
These are what i'm using as the LEDS, one for fog and one for reverse
All wired up and ready for testing tomorrow.
Rear lights all fitted and working, dash LEDS fitted and working .... only got one issue and that's the heater controls, i'll need to build my own LEDS and custom mount them in the existing lamp sockets to get them bright enough. The audio control ones have worked a treat - dash took about 10 minutes to remove

Nice and bright, not sure why the CH button hasn't lit up - will have a look at that when the dash comes out next.
Not so bright
You can see the spots visible, will address this when the new filters arrive.
Basic illumination, much crisper, can't wait to get the new filters in
New fog and reverse all wired in with the regulators, no more blowing LEDS and a much better output!

Hehe you should have seen how poor the stock ones were! I feel like i've got blackpool illuminations inside my rear lights
Blimey Pat.. just read the thread through.. some amazing trickery going on bloke
god only knows what it would be like now if you had started modding it

It sounds better
I reckon that's it, which was all I was expecting / hoping for Blimey Pat.. just read the thread through.. some amazing trickery going on bloke

I know, i've done really well to hold back on the mods I think
I knew i'd end up doing something with it, just can't help myself it seems. 
Another update.
Got the stuff from America however it' just diffusers and not a perspex panel - my view is that a perspex panel is needed to retain the correct placement of the diffusers so out with the dremmel.
After a couple of hours of careful cutting / sanding / milling it looks like this. I used varying grades of wet and dry on the perspex to get it as near to opaque as possible whilst retaining a smooth unscratched appearance. By placing the diffuser in front of my perspex piece, the sanding marks are not visible.
My panel is above, the diffuser is below. I've yet to see how it looks in the car in terms of bright spots but in all honesty, I could care less, i just want rid of the ginger!

Right, main dash and right hand side controls are in and done
All matches nicely
Although the LEDS show as brighter dots on the camera, they're fine in the car. Pig of a job, time consuming and fiddly but worth the effort

A mate at work has one of these and boy does it like to go sidey ways in the snow.

Oh yes ... NOTHING over the driven wheels = much sideways action, you really have to pay attention to it in the snow
It's without a doubt one of the best cars to drive i've ever driven, the winter has been a pain but it hasn't dampened the enthusiasm
Dashboard illumination in bright sun - all clear.
Was considering cleaning mine ....
However as you can see, mine was very much in the background today - busy cleaning something else
