Not done anything exciting recently, just general maintenance like new bushes and tyres.

I did get time and the opportunity to polish the head lights and LED them.

Turning lights next.

You can also make your own loom for the front sidelights like this with holders from ebay for about £4

Is that in series or parallel?

They run in parallel, the loom plugs into the existing sidelight holder in place of the normal bulb to power two sidelights instead.
One of these is an LED which you then fit in the headlight, the other one you tuck out of the way - i also made a little cage to try to stop the old bulb from touching stuff that may melt

The holders i bought are these on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181178128998

Though they seem to have sold out now

I left the old sidelight bulbs in their holders in mine - the small yellow glow of the sidelight bulbs is swamped by the 80w Cree LED DRL lol
