Hi all,

Order now placed and I'm expecting it to arrive here by Friday if not tomorrow. Then I shall get it all on its way to you as quickly as I can.

The group buy is currently still open; I'll be doing a second batch with lamps when it ends on Sunday 3rd April, so can still take more orders for bullbs, wipers and horns for then (horns @ £32.50 unless we can get another 10 pairs+). Above all, it would be great if we could reach the 5 pairs of lamps.

Basically, just bolt it somewhere suitable and connect via some spade terminals. Thumbs Up Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Mine arrived safely today, very well packed too Thumbs Up

I fitted them straight away since the old horn wasn't working, I had to make a bracket to mount them between the headlight and inner wing, that was a bit of a fiddle as there's not much space in there.

The feed to the horn is via a very thin wire and the push button on the stalk, I was concerned about voltage drop on the circuit with the extra horn, so I added a relay to take a direct fused feed from the battery and used the original horn wires to drive the relay coil (Boomslang style.)

Anyway I'm happy to report that I now have a fully working and decently loud horn Thumbs Up
Big thanks to Dave for making this group buy possible, I very much appreciate your efforts Bow down

Bump. Ending on Sunday. Thumbs Up

Horns still available if anyone is feeling they've missed out. Wink

Anyone willing to try some proper competition bulbs? I was hoping someone would like to try some as you Defender guys are the only ones to have them available in your fitment (H4).

Now have another sign-up for lamps from NoDo$h so we only need two more pairs to get the lower price - anyone I can persuade? Bow down

I'd love a pair of the 80 pro XT lamps if only I could find a suitable low-level A bar to mount them on, like the one on the defender here - http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic142054.html but suitable for aircon. Been searching all over but no one seems to make one Big Cry
