    i made my own because i couldnt be bothered waiting for someone to find some that didnt cost $400/500, and by the time that TCGPX found some that's reasonable, i was already half way through making mine.

    so this probably wont help you with fitting the ones from the group buy but i dare say the group buy ones will not be hard to mount (double sided tape if u have to lol)
    sublime wrote:have u tried it out on urs? lol i dont want my lights blowing up :?
    i've got them all mounted and am going to join all the wires up tonight, then i'll work out what resistors i'll need (i originally worked it out, but i've since changed the way i'm going to wire them up), then all i have to do is swap these with the ones on my car now (bought a spare set of lights cos i knew it was goign to take me weeks to do anything lol), i had them working a few days ago, but realised i was being too lazy with the wiring and they were getting bad connections, so i had to redo it all.

    but your lights will never blow up from this, since it's a completely seperate thing to the rest of your lights.

    The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

    hi BorepYano

    if its not too hard to do...i wouldn't mine try doing one myself...as it would cost less for both time and money anyway...

    but i always have great fear in the electrical bit....always freaks me out if i had to do anything to the car's electrical wiring....guess too many cables there.

    MICROAVE? 8O
    i hope u r not talking about using uthe microwave to open your lights up, cos if u r... i wont recommend trying this at home... maybe at work lol (be prepared to run from a house fire), metal bits + microwave = spark spark boom lol (did it with al-foil while cooking when i was younger, cos i thought glad wrap would melt lol, only got to spark spark then turned the damn thing off)

    and Richy, from the look of things all u have to do is spit a wire and plug them in, dont worry, anyone that did science/physics in high school can do it, but if u can't find a mate that can do it, worst comes to worst one of us will tell you how to do it :)
