you also need a led bezel and a sticker....also 3mm drill

Just buy a new kit....then send that one back and i will give a "fair" refund when I get back home.

I have a LED Bezel, I have a Sticker the only parts missing are the 3mm screw and that black cable with the crimped connector on which im sure i can make up i have a whole reel of cable for that job just need instructions on what goes where.

heres what i got:

Ok so all i need to do is make a cable up to go to the coolent tank connect solid red to the ignition live and the red/black to an earth and do all this while the battery disconnected and engines cool and mount my LED and sticker jobs a gooden yeah?

sorry if this was slightly tedious but better to ask than to go screw it up.

Thanks
