The Royal Mail website recon postage would be just under £2.00 assuming the package weighs less than 300g...

Plus a quid for a suitable box and some bubblewrap ...If I had some lying around I wouldnt charge, but I have to go buy some :-s

So thats £54+£3 P+P=£57.00

Had a go at filming the lights.... Didnt work so well....my camera phone is a bit useless! They really are bright and crisp even though its hard to see it in the photos and video.

What I would say to anyone who is interested, you could just buy the sidelight modules, install them and if you are happy with them, then buy and install the indicator and brake units...

Im pretty sure you will be more than happy once they are in :D

Dont forget you can make the brake even brighter by activating the Brake/sidelight...:shock:

Initially I will be making them to order...so would probs take me two to three days or so before its in the post...

If plenty of people are interested I can go into overdrive and just make a shed load of them at once...

I'd love to buy some but I just don't trust myself fiddling with them. If you are willing to do this at shows/meets, then I'll put myself for them getting done.

Im not going to be able to get to any of the shows until January now, what with christmas and wrapping up my current job...

If you really wanted a set and are able to unbolt the clusters, you could pop your lights into the post next day delivery, I can fit the LEDs that day and have them back to you the next day...

Can you live without your car for 3 days?


If anyone is looking at a budget way of fitting the LEDs, I can supply you with just the LEDs and resistors you need...The LEDs would cost you 19p each!
