Another Upgrade!
hehe

It really does never end....

OK, so am I correct in thinking that the brake and fog lights can just be wired directly into the existing brake and fog loom, and if indicators are to be fitted, then one of these for each indicator is required?

All of the lights are wired into the existing loom, there is no need for a resistor on each individual indicator unit. The kit from Brendan includes everything needed to get these working.

Where can I find this 'kit from Brendan'?

ETA - I don't mind so much upgrades like this - they are quite rare as they don't cost many thousands.....

ETA - 2 - Thanks for the mail Alex, have sent Brendan an email smile

Look forward to the updates! Did you buy any resistors to go with the indicators?

Here's my T350 with LEDs I fitted over the winter. I moved them around a bit so I could have 2 tail/brake lights together. I got the lights from SVC.



With lights on



Hope you like the look of them,I think they look great especially in the dark.

They look really good.
Do you know how the brightness and light spread compares to normal lamps ?

The brake lights and indicators are brighter than the old ones the tail lights just the same but I find it more effective having the 2 lights rather than 1.

The only issue for me with Brendan's lights is safety; they'll look pretty at night or on a dully day but they look very dim. What will they be like with direct sunlight shining on them + are they 'E' marked ? because if they are not it will contravene euro law and if you got a particular arsey MOT inspector he'll fail the car for the MOT or if the rozzers pull you over cos the lights are too dim and see they're not 'E' marked well u know the rest...especially if it's traffic rozzers....

The above lights look more like it for brightness and I'm sure the prices will be a little more acceptable...I get the impression with all the emailing that the price of Brendon's won't be cheap ....

The S-V-C supplied lights are 'E' marked. I have priced it up at about £300 to do all the lights on the Tamora (apart from the front fogs) excluding the time needed to fit them.
