Agree J, had them on mine a good while back and i just found them OTT, didnt like the fact i could see the reflection off the rear bumper. Im going for t8ups solution for the my10 cars the non led ones which are a white light but are not so bright. Perfect IMO
MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!!!!!
Yep, far too bright.
Good to see you're not one of those who blindly (lol) sticks by a mod and tries to convince themselves and others that they really do like it.
Got a night picture. Not the best photo being a night but you get the idea.
My opinion... WAY too bright, they'll be coming out tomorrow.
Haha, good point... wont be able to ID me due to my numberplate being blanked out by a very bright lightGuess the good thing is you cant see your plate very well, on that basis keep them, lmfao
Haha, nice one Matt
They wont unfortunately as the LED's and the housing are one complete unit. That brightness would be ideal for the boot!Will them festoon fit any where else in the car?
Like the boot?
Edit:=- are they even festfoon? If not question still stands.
Normal uprated white bulbs would do the job in most cases I assume. LEDs are too bright as you already noticed. Man I feel like having proper meet up soon, so many new cars on the forum...
Fitted the OEM Bluetooth last night. Spent a good while labelling and re-wiring everything as the loom came with no terminals or even the housing for the microphone plug.
I also managed to get the module behind the glovebox where many people have said it wont fit
Ordered the MFSW yesterday so I'm hoping for that tomorrow or Friday which will enable me to fully utilise the bluetooth.
I love how your car is going forwards and mine is going backwards
I wouldnt of stuck it there Jonny, that antenna is way to fragile to risk it getting snapped of, always under the seat mate.
I've always installed under the seat previously on customers cars but to save me extending the wiring I thought I'd have a look around the glovebox and see if there was anywhere it could go. I found a spot where the front of the module slides in and is secured in place by the glovebox. You can see the antenna from the side of the gloxebox and its not in contact with anything and the modules very secured in a way that it wont budge. I'll get a photo for you when I get home and see what you think.
Indeed it does always like to keep things as OEM as possible. Its actually bugging me a little bit that I've put it in the glovebox as thats not really where its supposed to be, I'll probably move it under the seat within a week, haha.
Thanks mate. I was thinking more so the MY09 as I'm not sure if the contrast between the darker MY11 lights and the Akoya Silver would be too much.
Hi Jonny,
Firstly, lovely motor mate!
I have the MY11 rears on my Akoya and I think they look nice but its up to you!
Cheers Jim.
Do you have any photos of the MY11 on your Akoya? Wouldnt mind seeing a few!
