Thank you!!! my brother and I plan to undo everything we've done, and repair any tapped wires. im going to canabalise the stock light as I chopped of the pin for the blue wire as per mod bargains video. So I'll replace that with some solder and shrink wrap. Just got to follow those instructions to get the inside of the lights working again! thanks for the reply guys. I'll let you know how the 'fixing' goes. Cheers!

My brother and I took the plunge today. When we get round to fitting them in a few weeks I'll post some notes if we incur any difficulties. Generally speaking I find the edits on YouTube remove a shed load of expletives and all the episodes of manic frustration lol

I had mine on the shelf from quite a few months ago so when wiring the Valenti bumper light all went to pot I thought I'd do the camera. few points - especially if fensport see the thread... 1. the hole drill bit is too small by about 2mm. Nothing a litttle file couldn't sort. Don't hesitate to be bloody forceful getting the camera into the drilled hole. 2. My HU had the 'camera' socket already plugged with an adaptor with one red wire going to pin 3. The camera adapter supplied had a wire in pin 3 anyway amoungst a few more lol. So we just swapped them out anyway and all was fine. Adapters were bloody stiff to remove too...not exactly as easy as the vids suggested 3. The cable FROM the HU is massive so you have loads of rooms for manoeuvre. We routed mine down he passenger silk trim, around the rear speaker and into the boot. 4. Cable FROM camera is TOO SHORT to go from the the boot lid and through the rubber housing into to boot cavity itself. This is a bit bad. I tried pulling the cable from the HU into the boot, but getting it through the rubber wasn't gonna happen. Instead I taped the connection and hid it behind the grommit.

Hey all My brother and I have wired this up as per the modbargains tutorial... Tap 1: light blue bumper to blue tail loom - this makes V light and fog light come on when headlights engaged Tap2: extra red in bumper to red wire of tail loom - as standard this makes the dumb fog light flash three times on braking whatever happens, at present with above set up, when headlights are on, both the V and the fog are always on!!! so I checked it this video below and went for option THREE to get the V light only with the tails...and the red light to work as a brake light provided it's tapped to the red wire in the tail loom as above however I need to get the fog wired in to the car to pas MOT Disconnecting the red to red tap leaves me with a red wire straight to the fog light!! After changing light internals to version 3 of above video BIG QUESTION where is the fog light cable in the back of the car from the steering wheel In the boot, Valenti bumper light connects to a harness with a pink, black and yellow cable. Maybe the yellow is the rear fog? Is this right? I'm just guessing as YouTube vids of yanks cars don't have three wires so no one has described it. if so, all I need to do is tap the extra wire from the bumper light to the right wire and we have a rear fog and NO silly extra brake light. please help guys...loosing will to live

Install links and images for Fensport Rear View Camera Kit I've been looking for ages for easy install instructions as my Fensport Kit didn't come with any and everyone online seems to have a different kit with and without harnesses. So here are a few links to videos I used when installing mine. Not all of every video is relevant, but at least all the links are in one place here. 1. Check Head Unit receives signal when reverse is engaged. Both my brother's and my cars had this already working. Follow this video to access the service menu of the HU. In "General" (I think - have a play - you'll find it) you'll see reverse as "No". Engage reverse (engine doesn't have to be on) and this will change to yes. GREAT!! If this doesn't happen for you, two of the videos below show how to add one wire to inform the HU when reverse is engaged. Ok so the video doesnt show English headings, but it's essentially the 'navigation volume'...also I think it's more the rate of taps and not the actual number...not sure...but it's easy enough to access. 2. HU removal and plugging harness into HU - note these videos show tapping etc but the Fensport kit didn't any The video above I found really useful as he installs the exact same camera harness as Fensport into a set up with SatNav, so if you've already got Sat Nav OEM fitted, it's a useful heads up. 3.Video and PDF guide of principles of wiring through boot/trim & cutting hole for camera http://carboncarsystems.com.au/files/gt86-reverse-cam.pdf

Hey guys. This is my first post despite having my GT86 for over 3 years. I totally agree that the upper rear brake light is an eyesore!! I'm running Valenti tail lights and the Valenti bumper light wired so the triangle operates as a brake light too. Looking into the Intec option...it's not E marked, so is it legal on UK roads? If it's not legal, are there any alternatives with OEM plugs for simple connectivity?
