I did cliffy - not sure I really like them. I do like the look of the angel eyes and I believe the newer Full Fats have them already. Would love to do the front end conversion but not that rich..! Ash

OK Stan, like the look of the kits. For that price, it's worth a go. What LED bulbs go into the fogs to replace the existing ones?

on one of my projects i did connect some blue lights mounted under the bonnet and that took the error away ....if you want to go the resister route then ebay has them, get the 50ohm ones... ... - .- -.

I think you can do stuff like this with Navcoder.
