Congrats Aymat! On which scrapyard was that? Putte, as seen on the windscreensticker, is very near me :-) I guess it's only a 15-20 min drive. It's a place right on the border, it has a dutch and a belgium part.

Probably those taillight are also worthwhile removing. Because some people like the setting of those lights, al the same size and next to each other. They also fit on cars with newer tailights from say 1986 up to 1991.

Those taillights on the newer type is a nice idea. I already thought about it too. But by doing that you'll lose the license plate lights. So that means no APK (MOT) Re-modding those lights is only nice when you do it properly in the rear bumper. Not going to try to trash my color coded one fot that :lol:

@ Aymat,

You mean puting the led in the dial econometer so it will work together with the needel?

You can buy a whiteish led strip to illuminate your licenseplate from the top down. they don't cost much...
Does the plate licht actually have to be white?

indeed!! spent quite some time looking for them when my dad had reversed into a lamp post with the 343 (left bumper corner loose + taillight shot) couldn't find them anywhere nearby!!!

finally found it through a old dafclub friend, but when I saw them again later on the scrapyard, took them right away!!!
