How about these for the rear lights, maybe the shop would donate some if it was for charity or at least do us a decent discount :)

we can try and get as much free or cheep stuff as we can - just email them and ask - it's for charity and we can advertise a link to them even supply photos of their finished product fitted to the van so they can use it in their adverts and website :D

but........... we do need to actually use them :!: - i personally wouldn't mind something done to the back lights 8) but we'd need someone who'll volenteer their time and actually do it - we dont want to bite off more than we can chew :!: - as it is we are pushing it to get what we have done in time :mrgreen:

as for 'blagging' free stuff - if we stick to stuff we can definatly use then by all means have a go 8)

I've got a set of skyline lights for the back of my van and i was going to try a set of these for indicators fog and reversing lights. i'm hoping to have a go at this over xmas so if it works out i'll stick my name down for the rear lights as i'm sure there will be times where i can't get to the interior. I might also be able to make a template so its a direct fit for the weekend so theres no messing on the weekend :mrgreen:
When i buy mine next month i will ask the question :D

They might do something on the price if it was for charity
