This is the sort of thing i'm looking for,but too big~i measured one yesterday on a T reg & it was apprx; 15mm~but don't know the total length of it, but must be quite dumpy to fit.

If you take the top off the cowl..? not a lot of space there!

You may well get away with that, hard to tell. (reference to link) If you solder wires to the connections on the unit, & make connections for prospective bottom cowl removal, somewhere down the loom!??

Its a bit fiddly, i just pull the bulb out of mine if i have remove the bottom cowl.... :idea:

Done it :D :D :D~i fixed a LED light in the courtesy light last week but missus was still struggling to find the ignition keyhole (she's old bless her) so bought this light & fixed it next to ignition key~she's happy with the result =D> =D> =D>

Cheers Jaylee :) ~i found this one on ebay~it was a bit too long & had to bend contacts downwards but managed to get the spade connectors on~a bit fiddly but end result's not bad~thanks for your earlier help anyway.

Hiya Jay,


How are you matey?
She is in for TLC on the bodywork area, also having spats painted and fitted etc etc etc, quite a lot to be done as i want it back to a really good standard, it has been a long wait as the garage are fitting her in around other jobs to keep the costs down for me so i am having to be patient :(

Would be a great xmas pressie if she is back by then [-o<
