    Hi Martin,
    The light arrived today (along with my new shocks!), thanks! I'll have it installed in... six months!

    Hi Martin

    Finally found some time to fit the LEDs. Perfect fit, brilliant idea, thanks.

    Original bulb was taken out years ago to stop burnt fingers! Haven't had a chance to view in the dark yet but I'm sure it does the job.

    Regards
    Robert

    Hello together,

    I allow myself to revive this thread I started a few months ago.
    In the meantime I have made another bunch of these LED lights and offer them via ebay Germany for a few bucks more.
    But just in case, someone did miss the original discussion; If interested, for all those who contact me via this thread, the old price is still valid.

    Best Regards from Germany
    Martin

    Hi Paul,

    looks a bit underexposed. Should rather look like this with black leather:
    But I know, it's often hard to capture a realistic impression with such delicate exposure conditions.

    Don't worry Martin, it's perfect. To show what it really looks like in such low light conditions, I'd have to get my SLR out and set it up on a tripod. Maybe one day..

    Paul,
    it just comes to mind. IIRC, at first your bulb holder was missing. Seems, that you did succeed in finding one?

    Yes, I found it by buying a new car last week. Probably an extreme solution :D

    LOL!

    That works!

    I am wondering why Casino Square needs a dozen of them??
    Maybe there's that many cars there??

    I know I am dealing with at leat two different owners there.....(not counting him!)

    Martin, I will put mine in, as soon as I get the car back from the Hot Rod shop....

    Hello together,

    just a quick update for those who ordered some recently. Today I got the material for the fresh batch- there was some delay since my supplier, a small business, was on summer vacation.
    Will make them during the coming days.

    Best Regards
    Martin

    Hello,

    can you send me a PM? I cannot send you one. Either you haven't activated 'PM from members' in your settings, or it's because you didn't post on FChat yet.

    Best Regards
    Martin
