Installed Scud ing Swiss tail lights

Love the modified bumper / exhaust

 

+1 sexy mod

 

Nice mod, these need more rear visibility for sure

 

He's running a gothspeed exhaust.

 

Is there any trick to getting the third brake light module out? I've been studying mine and don't see any obvious, easy, way to do it.

 

Ok ok ok....

How about some pictures of the mods on this car!!!! I see kevlar/cf everywhere and a custom intake box and wrinkle painted trumpet covers?

Lets see the details on this one!

 

Thanks for the info. It was helpful, but I have a '98 GTB, and the attachment is slightly different. Instead of that a cloth trim, there is a metal piece that is rivited at either end. To get this trim piece off, I'll have to drill out the rivets, which I was hoping to avoid.

Love it, do you have a link to where we can purchase these?

 

Hi Bruce, unfortunately the rivets will have to be drilled out. Here is a copy of the post that describes this procedure. It is from an old post (I cannot recall who wrote it up and when) so it still recommends replacement with standard bulbs. I have done it on mine and it is really no big deal.

"Third Brake Light Replacement:

"For all 355 owners: IF your third brake light (one of seven or more) goes out on you here is a tip. Left and right of the upper molding - drill out the rivets. Then remove the four screws on top. Remove assembly. Unsnap the light bar using a small screw driver to wedge it in and it comes apart exactly in half. Replace bulbs... Car Quest ...Sylvania 2723 bulbs $1.09 each (7 of them). Reassembled in reverse, installed new rivets, and painted them gloss black with a little Testor's modeling paint from the local hardware store."

HTH

 

Alex,
Thanks for the added info. I've been thinking of upgrading my taillights to the Scuding Swiss LEDs for some time. I think I'll go ahead now and order the kit.

Bruce - my challenge grill install guide shows the rivet info. I'll email it to you.

 

I'm thinking about getting a set of the Scud Ing tail lights. With the increased intensity of the reverse lights, has anyone who has installed this upgrade seen any slight melting of the rear lenses?

 

That's one of the reasons for installing LED lights on the 355. Lower operating temperatures. LEDs need heatsinks, but they are further away from the lens.

 

I ask because I live on a small hill and have to back down into my garage. I have LED reverse lights from SuperbrightLEDs and they still melted my lenses. Just wondering if the Scud Ing LEDs run cooler or are farther away from the lenses?

 

ScudIng seems to be a reputable company with good customer service. Perhaps you could ask them?

Sorry to hear about your lenses.

 

Thanks - I plan to purchase. I want to operate like factory... do you know if that's option C1 or C2? thx!
