Proper Euro Taillights Conversion Done (Video)

Here is one of my latest and mods. Full Euro Taillights conversion. Proper yellow turn signals, brake lights, reverse, and rear fog light (will be active once I activate my front foglights).

If there is will be enough interest I will post full detailed DIY.

The Euro lights look great. I saw you head lights at John's house before he painted them, they turned out really nice. If you don't mind I will get your number from John, I have some questions about how you ended up wiring your Euro lights. I need to do mine when they arrive. Thanks. Gasman

Come on Cube. Where's that DIY you offered 2.5 years ago? LOL.

Can you repost the video too? Sez removed by poster. I imagine the Euro tail lights would look great with LEDs. My LED 3rd brake light and Kermit LED strip would feel right at home with them, and I've already got the other LEDs on hand.

From the Smart Madness site:

Quote:
smart car fortwo 451 European Tail Light set with Amber Indicators.

Give your smart car the EU look by converting your stock rear lights with this European tail light set with separate amber indicators like the ones on the European smart cars.

You will receive one pair of Genuine smart car European rear lights with amber indicators.

*Some minor alterations are required to make the tail lights work with the US version of the smart car car. The lights will not come with any directions. You will need to obtain those from some of the smart car forums.

Please note! These lights are being sold "for off road and show use only" and may not be legal in some states or counties. Please check your local laws before purchasing.
