http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2x-4-LED-Xenon-wh ... m153.l1262 When you look at the product, you can see that there are resistors soldered into the bulb, prolly to aid the voltage / amp issue you talk about. Dunno how long darren has had his, he may be able to tell us how long he's had them. And even so, at £2.99 for the pair, it's hardly gonna break the bank.

I'm quite friendly with my MOT garage, so they may let me off

My usual appearance @ work in the winter.......I BOMB YOU!!!!!! My view from the quayside Fancy a drink?

....rigt...uhmmm....I really need to go for a No.2....like right now....might be a few HOURS, lol

Yeah, will do that next time. Now that I know how to get to the lights Just a note, Darren told be that the LED sidelights will be a MOT failure, so remember to swap the standard ones back before going for an MOT.

Wow HRZ, that looks soooo painful. Glad it's fixed tho. See Nixy, it's never as bad as it looks, especially when others post their misfortunes.

Oh, another thing I noticed. on that pic of the wheel arch liner, on the lower front where it'as showing 4x bolts and one clip, it's actually 5x bolts, that one clip is the screw that also keeps the under bumper chin lip on. the bolts need 10mm sockets btw I'll post a pic of the sidelights in the dark when it gets.....uhmmmmm.....dark.

Lexx, did you ever hear about the container vessel "Valera"? It was proper rubbish, you had to lash under deck too and mostly you were shin deep in water with rats swinning all around you in eerie lighting. We are so glad it dosn't come here anymore.

eBay link: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Gxx-LED-Center ... asstQQtZkm Look for the 4xLED W5W capless, cost £2.99 for the pair. They came in a nice little Jiffy envelope and because I ordered two pairs, I got a free airfreshener, lol. Delivery was next day, which is nice and fast. bulb change procedure: - jack car up - remove wheel - remove four bolts, two screws and three clips - remove wheelarch liner - change bulb

After having seen DarrenB's lovely Zed, I wanted to change the standard sidelights for LED ones. Darren kindly pointed me to the eBay retailer that sold them and also recommended the 4xLED bulbs, because the single LED bulbs are to weak. Anyways, here's the pics:

Mind you, maybe I should be saying stuff like "Egg fwied wice" or something (I'm chinese if you hadn't guessed)

For some reason I'm looking for S2000's and Civics in Sainsbury carparks from now on, lol

I already retrieved the address from the other thread in the Traders section

aiiiiiiight!!!

Excuse my supreme stupidity, but by "full set" do you mean a set compromising of both front AND rear pads? Hi Bullet, yes indeed, full set equates to a set of front and rear pads... Ah thanks for that....I smell a deal happening some time down the line.

More importantly, it makes the bonnet soo much cleaner with out washer jets

Usually happens when over time, you always open the door fully open and leave it there. Over tme the weight of the door will cause pressure on the hinge and then start creaking. Well I think so anyway...

Well, the chargehand should tell us before, and my chargehand is pretty rubbish........hang on...where did my buck go?

well, since it happens to both the aftermarket as well as the factory HU, I'd guess it's nothing on the car itself. Perhaps TA is turned on and locally it's in french for some reason. I'm thinking, Bose with factory wiring, as in no extra added wiring and then the Kenwood with extra wiring, so it works with the Bose speakers, it's hard to imagine that there is a fault with the car, especially since all of it has been reverted to factory spec. It's got to be the local airwaves. Just my thoughts...

...you haven't got a french girlfriend have you?

what is getting me is that the Bose is also speaking french tho, is the fault contageous?

While the bumper is off, install an allweather speaker on the inside and connect it to your new sound system, so it's like a PA via the interior mic, lol. Roll up saying "aw-wight gawgous..." Make sure your not in a questionable area of town tho....lol

At least someone appreciates us, hehe.....management don't tho....

The controls work fine the wires on the ict cable just need to be snaploked to the corresponding wires on the control loom. Its a serious tight squeeze behind there though...very little room to work. R Did you get a chance to take pics which of the wires have to get spliced with which? Hi no i didn't i was getting quite irate by that point and just wanted the thing in. Its really simple though as when you buy the ICT cable there is instructions telling you which colour wire to pair to which. R Ah right, because in previous threads about the ICT loom, that wasn't mentioned. Good to know there is some documentation with the loom that helps you connect it up.
