I got lucky and found a permanent +ve feed going to my radio head plug (no I'm not and A&R man promoting the band). I found an ignition only +ve feed for the light there also, but no convenient sidelights on +ve feed for the clock light, so my light is on whenever I drive. Looks good when you drive into shade though (well that's my claim anyway :lol: )

Goodo - well done 8)

If not done already, you should treat yourself to an aluminium ring to go round it. Finishes it off a treat. £7 odd from BF member Haydn Callow (he usually lists them on ebay)

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
