Fair play H, may as well spend some cash on your car! I weren't gonna spend anything on the car this year but...f*ck it, wheel refurb and racing wheelnuts here I come! lol

Get some pics up of the lights when they're on merlin, will be good to see what they look like!

H.....are you plotting a white hawkeye conversion you rascal? Cos that would look SWEET! There's plenty of Hawks being broken on eBay too...

C'mon Dean gets some pics up already!

Merlin those lights look pretty decent mate. What headlights are you running on your bug?

Stuart I finally had a go at solering the new resistors into the rear brakelight today but it's just too small and fiddily, maybe the soldering iron's too big? Anyhoo think I might just pop into Carstins next weekend and see if they can supply the whole light assembly seperately? Hopefully it won't cost me an arm, leg, torso and head.

Failing that I may as well wrap the damn light up in carbon fibre lol
