    Audi-type LED:s on Berlinetta

    Hi,
    I have always thought that the Berlinetta needed an eye-level brake warning light and have not really been too happy about the direction indicators. I found some 12volt LED-strips on Ebay for £2.99 a pair (post free from China). I enclose two pictures. Coupling them was very simple, for the rear I just removed some of the filling strip round the rear window and replaced it with the LED:s. For the front I made 2 aluminium "trays", tie-rapped the LED:s to the front edges (bent down 1cm) and bolted and glued the trays under the wings. All LED:s are then linked up to the original wiring (make sure you get the + and - wires right). Total cost for 4 LED flashers and 2 brake brake lights £9 and I have an extra brake light for my other Berli. As they have a very low power consumption they do not noticeably affect the flash rate.
    Happy Marlin days!!

      Hi Lee,
      The front end should in principle be the same as the Berlinetta i.e. quite straightforward. I can supply you with pictures and measurements of the trays if you wish. As far as the rear end is concerned I don´t think I am the right person to ask. The window rubber on the hardtop is an ideal place to mount LED strips but the rear end of the Roadster, not having a hardtop, is a greater challenge for your imagination and creativity.
