[s-cars] Just fitted the Hazard Warning Triangle

[Tony Curran]

Harold,

Pic of trunk lid avec hazard triangle.

Actually my next project is going to be to replace the middle brke light
incandescent bulbs with LEDs. Idea is to increase the turn-on time as LEDs
respond more quickly to electrical impaulse than OEM bulbs. Already have the
automotive grade LEDs - in fact have 100 so will have plenty of spares if
you're interested.

Hello Tony,

I would be interested in pics of the conversion if you would not mind.

I also did a slight mod on my car. I was looking through ETKA and noticed
some trunk organizers/dividers that the North American cars did not have. My
parents went to Germany so I asked my Dad to pick up part #  4A5 863 476.
Will try to get some  installed pics by this weekend, still no digicam for
me.
Obviously this part will not work on your car if you have the CD changer.
Pics of just the part in my Audiworld pic poster:

ends of the divider fit right into cut slots in the carpet. Plug and play.
