After seeing gasmans front markers/indicators on Saturday evening, I would like to do mine too. I know there is a write up somewhere but I can't find it. Will some kind soul take pity on me and point me in the right direction please.
Thanks. :thumbup:

that link doesn't work chris but do a search on parking lights us spec and its all there mate, I've just found it.

Here you go bud, I have to admit its not the best of the write ups but hope it provides some assistance. This mod doesn't cost anything, though you do need access to a soldering iron & about 2 foot long wire of similar gauge (use a foot each side). I used black wire to make it look as oem as possible

time to get busy Chris, i'll be looking out for another 300 now with the cool looking cruise lights all lit up, will spot you a mile off on Bradford road:fing02:

 

[steadyaway]

Aye, time to get busy with the hammers lol. Might be a couple of weeks but I certainly like the look and fancy doing it.

Steve, did your car have twin filament bulbs fitted, or did you have to change them?

They have twin filaments already there, its like the brake light bulb, only that its painted in amber.

Good news ay, just a bit of wiring then? What are the bulbs for the bumper markers please, I may as well light the whole front end up while I'm there.

The bumper side light bulbs are the same as the front side light bulbs, if you get leds they will be a lot brighter

May as well get LED bulbs for your front bumper marker lights and they are the same bulbs for the number plate and front side lights (6 in all)

 

[steadyaway]

Its looking like that's the way I'll go. For the price and a couple of hours crawling around it will make a big difference to the appearance.

Nice one mate, have you attemped the front ambers yet

No not yet. I'm trying to come up with a way to re-instate the missing pin from the bulb holder. That way if I have to change the bulb it wont involve soldering again. Got a few days off from tomorrow so once I have done a few jobs around the house I will be able to spend a bit of time on it.

Dodgin' raindrops.......well, that's all the LED's fitted. Many thanks to those who posted write ups in the how to section for the side markers and bumper lights, it saved a lot of time. All I've got to do now is work out how to modify the lamp holder for the egg yolks.

Wooohooo. Done it. That's all the LED's fitted and working, and the egg yolks sorted.
