New rear lights
#22
Did you fix the leak though?
I had a lamp leak and its not the cluster, but the seal between the cluster and inner metal flitch plate.
Water runs off the boot, or sprays up inside the corner of the wheel arch and gets behind the damaged seal and will run straight into the cluster.
I would take a look at the seals before you knacker another one mate.
Oh, and the iffy seal was from a previous repair, so good luck!
Like the LED idea though, inventive all of you

Unless you make your front side markers work, it'll look odd. Not really, but it's a new challenge.

Yeah, I appreciate it's not to everyone's taste. As I said, it was there to be done!
MC - I maywell do that one day, but i'd have to use orange LED's. Not a real technical issue though as the indicator loom is right there and I made my fly lead with enough room to do any later additions
m1bjr - yeah, I had a similar problem on the Civic, but I checked that and it was definately the light cluster
Fitted the red LED's anyway:

wicked idea mate, love it
ignore the grandads on here giving you beef for trying something different. i've got a water leak on my lights so i'll wait to see how you get on with these and if you have a decent experience i might invest myself.

Looks like you bought those rear lights used from the US - the red reflector is not intentionally lighter than the EU ones. The Us cars had an issue with them fading - a TSB was issued and a lot of guys in the US had their rear lights replaced free. You definitely are unique by having paid for a set of faded US lights.
Light mod looks okay though
