Hi Guys, anyone saw any accesories that replaces the mock tail-lights with actual working tail-lights? It would be perfect if we are ble to wire it up to work as additional brake lights! :)

Thats funny that they did that, because originally I thought there were lights in those when I bought the car. When I turned on the lights at night I then noticed there was nothing in there. I'm suprised they did this as LEDs are relatively cheap.

It's not about the price of LEDs but it's more of the exterior styling.

I would leave the current functional lights how they are and change the back up lights section with this one :

That will look very sweet. So no-one has come out with a replacement part to make it work like a brake light?
Mannnnn... I would so buy that if they have it.

It's quite easy to do, at least with Gen 1 Outties.
I did the single High intensity LED thing, took out the lenses from the bumper, which turn out to be empty shells. (yeah, why not fit a couple of lamps in the factory?)
Then a small hole in the back of the lens (where a globe would normally be) and fit an LED with resistor in line. Sealed up with silicone, wired into the brake light circuit and presto!
Looks great, but thats just my opinion. By the way, definitely go the eBay option - I just got 50 high intensity 10mm Amber LED's (for more bling on the Outtie) for about AUS$25 including postage. The retail on these is $3 each!
