lol solarman - bottom two screwed up onto lower lip of bumper-
grille- cut the little vertical joints out that secure the horizontal plastic slats
this allowed me to literally ram the others in the gap as it now bends to accommodate the units
then i stuck the brackets on them to try to stop theft
at £4 a pair tho its not the end of the world lol
ill take some close ups today n post!!

hi m8
well i ordered the DRLs and the red ones, plus the long white 120led strip and some led replacements to bog standard load bay light(which i had to reverse polarity as some twat in ford wired it backwards??). the red strips DRLs and white strip came within a week, then some stupid mug put bombs in printers and the rest arrived after a month. do it tho cos in uk you get ripped right off for anything thats nice, lights up or moves.... arsehooles to the economy, Indonesian optoelectronic s all made in Indonesia but you pay 3000% increase in uk!!!! NOW GO SPEND LESS THAN A TENNER ON MANY MANY NEW LIGHTS !!!!

cheers for comments guys im grinning like Cheshire moggy :D

oh yeah double sided foam tape from carparts shop to hold up rears, drill 3mm hole where needed to splice into wiring be prepared for some seriously THIN wires

any legal requirements but they would be great to add to yours for a Transit show or something,
