New Reversing Bulb

[bigdaddycain]

Great stuff Helen! Mine arrived about midday today! I've just fitted them in the flush lights as my auxillary reverse lamps till i re-fit the red bulbs come MOT time. I've just done my first ever soldering too,(one of the connectors had come adrift) I've done a fair job of the soldering for a first attempt (i've been well taught)

Only daytime shots so far, i'll take a night time piccy later...





They look quite dim as the light was good, and the lenses have now been tinted.

The next time i pimp my bongo, i shall donate £20 to each and every forum member

wonder who posted this.

[bigdaddycain]

AH! Yes my dearest davey baby... But i'd said that AFTER i ordered the bulbs!

I have two bulbs here for you by the way

Ste where do you get the chrome numnber plate surrounds from please? Both the one round your plate and the larger one around the plate recess??

Oh and please keep my £20 for the work you have done on my wheels

Ooh... i'm having a bit of difficulty getting hold of the chrome plate surrounds now Marc! I buy them off Mike at Wheelquick for either a fiver, or a tenner each (depending on condition) A fair few Bongo's come over with them fitted, mike stacks them up for me as he doesn't re-fit them to the new UK plates.

There's not so many bongo's coming in now though with the recent Japan disaster... But i'll see what i can do!

The larger plate surround is standard on the new shape rear panel marc, it's integral to that panel.

Standard new shape reverse lights....



And with the new bulbs fitted in my flushed auxillary reverse/foglights...



They'd be brighter still if i hadn't tinted them!

No worries at all Ste. Cant wait for my visit to WQ - sounds like Aladins Cave

[chipvan]

would these bulbs be a bit silly for fog lights?

[bigdaddycain]

You mean red versions as rear fogs? Or the above lights used up front?
