So discovered a chunk missing out my near side headlight lense few months back. Daytime runner also stopped working. Few days later got a bend light error.

Quote from local Indy for a new headlight was £750. Needless to say I said I'd sauce one myself. Couple months looking and I found a complete unit on eBay for £295, result!

I wrapped the chrome strip on my GTD in gloss black vinyl. The jury remains out, but it's easily removed.

I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Finally got a few hours to look at the DIY Dynamic turn indicator mod using a relay that's up on You Tube.

Here's mine; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XkaMlPAamA  (link to the tutorial in the description).

You don't have to cut into the loom. You just unplug the loom from the light and plug the resistor in between the light and loom. 2 minutes per side.

You should get some to go with your stage 1 :whistle:

I personally think they look daft and much prefer the original look.
Each to their own I suppose.
