However you will need to buy the complete bracket set up, and also check that you have the spare cable connector coming off the main light loom. It's usually hidden behind the expansion tank by the bulk head. :smiley: :smiley:

The metal painted part along the front that you kept banging the lamps against - remove it! 5 screws, just make sure you leave the centre on in. I had a nightmare till i asked some guys on here!
