Hi Guys HELP....I need two C6 rear lamps.....The 'Outer' 2...Those with the orange base that act as the 'Indicators' ......My intention is to Discard the inner 2 and then Configure the wiring to illuminate all 4 on Head and side Lights .....have all 4 illuminate on 'braking' and both either side operate on 'indicating' Anyone have a couple....?.....OK...any ideas who would stock em! [Here or in the States]
[I will loose the 'follow me' Fog Lamps but would install a 'Ring' £9.99 special with an illumiated switch in the Cabin [discreetly....between the Exhaust Bells..]

I Missed those VETGURU .....Dratt but Thanks all the same ....any other ideas I tried BM's they would charge £199 per lamp £400 for the 2 all bar the shouting [Funnily enough Ian was asking £105 a piece to 'order in'...how does that work...I suppose his could be 'Pattern' parts? Couple of Guys on CCCUK offering to send me some wiring diagrams ....just need the Lamps...HELP.....ANYONE....

IMO C6 looks best with standard us spec lamps or even better with afterburner:

I know Ian only uses GM parts. Maybe Dart corvette? BM prices are so high on parts it's a shame because they are a good bunch of guys.

VETGURU....Success got a call from Ian Goss this morning ..Here he had found those GM Lamps.........SOLD to me instantly ...a guy called Frank on CCCUK has posted me a wiring Diagram...it's not effected by the CAN-BUS so it''s just a case of linking the new to the old ....either side.....Then 'Pop' an aftermarket 'Ring' Fog lamp discreetly set back between the Exhaust Bells. So Thanks very much for all your Help it's appreciated it would appear to have cost me a few Hundred and a Load of Help from you Guys!
BLUETHUNDER and aKEITHj see these posts and a similar thread on CCCUK and you can do the same. By then I will have experience of doing it myself........Thanks VETGURU again

Ain't that the truth! smile But at least they have them I guess.

I've only just finished paying for the C5 rears I bought from BM in 1999......!

Just a Final thought From me ...If your car is an American Import ....I don't think this Conversion will work for you and would be a Total waste of Money as the wiring for the lights IS linked to the CAN-BUS and reading their Forums what they say is ......You can fit Em....They Look Good..... BUT THEY DON'T WORK..........BEWARE!
[BLUETHUNDER....IN PARTICULAR.....Knowing you would like this set up]
Keith you have PM
I was smiling at 5 USA .....By Christ I thought they must have been one Hell of a set of Tail Lamps LOL ....Cut Glass Crystal ....Diamonds and Solid Gold Case HaHa ...Thats very nearly a Mortgage...I'm Chuckling at that 5 USA but I know what you mean how Lucky was I ?

Cheers VetGuru.....Frank [and others] 'Jobs....Jobbed' ..........What made it easy for me I sourced a Euro rear Harness off the Net.....Cannabilising it for the Plugs.... and just connected directly to the lamp to the.... L or R
Although you can't see it in this Pic a 'Ring' Follow me Fog Lamp is fitted between the Exhausts and used the original wiring and Switch.
Cost of the Project circa...£350.....Plays £1620 [mind that included all the Bells and Whistles]

Unfortunately it's expensive when you source parts from a manufacturer because they are warranted. That includes replacement engines too......

I priced yours and a set in Germany.... where again they where £200 a piece of course they would have been ....plus VAT and Carriage !
My car is Faultless By the way following the 'Warrantied' work your Company did for me it was..... and is much appreciated...Would always always Recommend Bauer Millets for Service and Parts...and of Course Chris in the Service Dept.....Many Thanks to you Guys
Excellent Stuff!
