Got them here. I'm pretty sure that they discounted the price once I went to the checkout. http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/led-...nd-reverse |

They look great!
Was it just 'plug and play' to get both the 'Fog' and then the 'Reverse' lights working, or did you have to do some re-wiring from one side to the other? Cheers! YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

If only it was as simple as plug and play! the wiring all needed to be redone, and whilst the fogs were working fine 10 mins before that picture was taken, they seem to have decided not to now!

Having decided to shun the comfort of modern seats, and retain the three in a row bench configuration, I swapped out the old torn vinyl ones for a "deluxe" exmoor trim set today. I must say that whilst I'm impressed by the firmness and extra height that the new seat bases give, the seat backs definitely do not feel as sturdy as the originals. Hey ho.

Sorted some more of the insides over the weekend.
All the seals around tailgate done, with stainless steel retainer plate, and a set of bench seats added. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Speaker pods for upcoming music install Click image to enlarge The Exmoor bench seats had an exposed MDF backboard, which I decided on the spur of the moment to cover with wood, but now they're on I'm not liking the effect, so am going to recover the backs in black vinyl or more likely black rubber next week.

Typically, after a nice sunny weekend with lots of free time, my new hood and frame arrive Monday afternoon
Thought that the heavy duty canvas bag that the hood came in was rather neat though - wasn't packaged like this last time I ordered - it's clearly all about the heritage now! Click image to enlarge |
