--- Quote from: "rustprooflandyracer" ---Just a quick question what size bulbs are they? Is it the same bulbs for all the lights, or different for the rear red ones.
Thanks

I utilsed the same bulbs & holders as my old lights
Ie;
5 watt; front side-light
21watt; indicators & reverse
5/21; tail/brake & tail/fog

Ok so I finally got around to fitting mine....... still have to wire in the extra fog and reverse lights but havent got the plugs yet............ however I have this week off work so will be going in search of them! Thanks for all your help Richard :D
Bush Tucker Man:
Helen :D :D :D
That looks great!
I don't know how you connected up the existing fog/reverse.
If you did use the existing cabling (& just replaced the plug at the bulb end), why not buy the correct plugs/cables from Farnells* (on Frizinghall Road?)
That way you can plug straight into the loom, as these 'should'(!) have the plug on the end for the bulb-holder as well??
Did you go the same way as me & buy the lower pair to set up as tail/fogs, or are they just fogs??
If you can't get the relevant plugs, let me know
but once more try Farnells* (ought to be next-day delivery??)
Have you checked them out in the dark yet?
Get Johnty to drive it down the road & just see the differance :D

I mean Albert Farnell
Not Farnells at Armley, as that's a trade/professional suppliers (of the maplins sort)
sleeplessparadise:
Thanks :D I didnt do the tail/fog lights but I may change depending on how easy it is ( I really didnt understand Johnty when he was trying to tell me about it :shock: )
I know both Farnells, the one at Armley we use for LEDs and things on occasion but apparently the place I got the lights do the plugs (so johnty tells me) Bolt on Bits on ebay but they also advertise in one of the mags as 4x4bits or something similar.

One thing I didn't appreciate until it was pointed out to me is that stop/tail lenses are differant to fog-light lenses.
It's due to the focal point of the bulb (only a marginal varience, not enough to matter I shouldn't think?)

I thought Farnells were trade only, but I guess Johnty has a card/account/VAT registration?
Then again, it's easier for you there, than down to Maplins (Regent Street, otherside of the York Road 'flyover,' from Leeds bus-station)

You'll be surprised at the luminosity in comparison to the old units (I reckon let him take 400yards away :lol:
