Weird. I found them at the first place I tried. Tried halfords or some universal" place?
How to make quadruple rear running lights
- Thread starter poliq
- Start date
Done this to my Toledo today, quite happy with the way it came out.
It is practically the same as doing to to a Leon too

Nice! Did you have any trouble with soldering the sockets?
No problem soldering the sockets, I use a gas soldering iron so it gets plenty hot enough
Ok. I used a normal iron, while having to choose between that and a hot air blower as I figured the air would melt the plastic. Had a hard time with the solderability of the new socket as well, think it was brass or something.
The plastic did start to go a bit soft around the new socket but I wasn't that bothered as it was being soldered to the original metal of the original socket.
I sanded the soldered areas of the new socket before I started to make sure there was a nice clean connection.

He has started something as well! ![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
I had been looking to so something with the rear lights for a while but didn't have any real ideas... then I saw this thread and thought it was a great idea.

Leon vs Toledo:
It's clear that the toledo has narrower inner lights, but from what I can see the four of them looks better anyway!
Heres a dusk shot
I guess you can call 3-4 people a start.. But we'll see how many will be doing it.
I think that most people won't bother about doing this, because it takes too long and is a little tricky? I don't know.

Thanks Lee.
I guess that with aftermarket LED lights it wouldn't be the same anyway. Except it you did a dual LED conversion?
I saw a guy (don't remember who) on here do that, audi style. Looked good as well, but that'd make an completely different rear though. Not sure which out of the two I prefer. Mine I guess, but then again, I'm disqualified to judge on the matter!

i think it was emdee he made standard lights with aftermarket led insides it did look good,i will do the quad light thing when i can be bothered as it looks good and gives the other lights more purpose.
A better pic of the quad lights on the Toledo.
and a cheeky shot of my LED footwell lights as well.
