Looking good Tim

How are you thinking of wiring them up then?
All 4 from the same switch or for them to come on with your lights.

aus-tim powers · Apr 16th, 2003, 05:10 AM

Wow! so many replys where do i start?

Linda M - Yep get ya self some sawted, now ya know why i was askin about the covers

goin440 - i have set them up with my outers slightly angled outwards,and the inner ones just straight forwards (like this \ I I /

)

Minty & Sugster - I did use the standard brackets supplied in the kit, but as i set them higher i riveted some aluminium lengths to the brackets and strapped it across to my existing first set of spots brackets.
i did'nt want to rivet the bottom part of my new brackets into my chrome grill slat!!

Hat - Thanks glad you like

are you sayin they maybe illegal as they are all not in a straight row??

Smokin Dinka- Copy,yeah no probs buddy.Don't block up your 'hole in the bonnet ' though

Titch - Too much! If ya have to ask ya can't afford

Silver & Black - I'm thinkin of hopefully wiring them up so as they all come on as my existing ones do, with the main beam mate.

Cheers
Tim

Eeek, now with Timmy following behind with his blazing beams it will be even more obvious that we are not running colour co-ordinated.

Nice job Tim mate, looks well smart

Brushy · Apr 16th, 2003, 06:30 AM

Super Dooper CooperS · Apr 16th, 2003, 07:02 AM

My god, that looks great - damn you for putting ideas like that in my head. Still waiting for my MCS but too late to change the spec now (only 3 weeks-ish to go). Lokks like a retro fit once my wallets got over the initial shock...

sugster · Apr 16th, 2003, 03:57 PM

Tim,
Don't suppose you could post pics of your bracket modifications could you? I think there are a few of us on here who might do something similar....

Groovy

I'm a big fan of 4 spots

aus-tim powers · Apr 18th, 2003, 01:01 AM

And now they work,thanks to Sugster (see the 4 spots thread)

spod · Apr 18th, 2003, 02:15 AM

Don't suppose when wiring them up you took any pictures of what to do ?

Is it really that easy to order the lights from the dealer and fit them yourself ??

Anyone know just the supply cost of these lights ?

No, i'm sorry mate, i was so busy concentrating on what to do it slipt my mind until after i'd done it then i thought Oh no!

I think its easy to order the lamps and do it yourself lookin back now i've done the job yes. It has its hard parts, but once you've followed the instructions & done it, its simple

Each set off lights cost me £116 +vat from PL Mini's

Cheers Tim

Ps. PL Minis faxed me the 20 odd pages of instructions they don't come with the lights!!

Hat · Apr 18th, 2003, 02:52 AM

how'd you get them working with the headlights on dipped beam?
