Don't forget they're smaller than the normal gauges, I think they're 36mm

Hey Chris am going for the lights tomorrow so once I have them and a price for postage I'll let you know :D I am thinking of losing the two air vents to the left of where the radio used to live, I don't use them and the screen would fit nicely there, well I hope it will :D

Am off hunting for some straight pipes to make a start on my side pipe exhaust system plus a few other bits n bobs, better head light washer jets, different fuel injector leak back pipes (R clip ones) and things from other makes and models that might fit or will fit with gentle persuasion :lol: N

Aye I have a PayPal account, I got a set on Friday but one is knackered inside so I'll take it back and swap it for one that is good, I want them to be in good working order before I send them, I'll get it swapped this week :D N

I'd be interested in seeing how you have done your lights.
All mine are 12v 6led marker lights but the ones on the lower front bumper keep blowing think water has got into them :roll:

Muttley has done them on his own, all leds but you need to pay attention to the cumulative load on one fuse, he blew a fuse by overloading (connecting too many on one circuit) lol
