Opinions please!
Truck electrics were supposed to send me rectangular lights but have cocked up and sent me these!

Send them back or wire the bad boys up?

Decision made...just received this email!

Good guys!

'Matt,

We realised this earlier & have despatched a parcel to you via the royal mail.
The pacel should be there tomorrow or Monday. I have enclosed 12v Hella bulbs also,

I will contact you Monday & arrange for the return of the other lamps.

I sincerely apologise for my mistake.

Ciaran'

Rolling with laughter

Not into roof lights at all .... but if you must have them, they must be rectangular Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.
