Yes mate I'll find the seller on ebay and let you know

He doesn't sell them assembled on there, only if you ask :afro:

Looking well Dom, been a while!

Cheers mate, good to see you back on here again! The pickup getting a build thread?

I finished the rear lights and fitted them last weekend:



They look ok from a distance but up close they are too bright so I stuck the standard ones back on today.

Another pic, this time with the car at daily driving height:



I also need to add a new battery to my list of things to sort, after leaving the ignition on with side lights and radio for no more than 3 mins it was flat :angry:



The above pic is also daily driving height :cool:

Looking good.   Do you not have issues with amber and white on those rears?

The reverse lights were pink but the indicator still flashed pretty much amber, they're off the car again now as I'm not too sure about them :grin:

I've been trying to diagnose a rear end rattle for a while now, initially I thought it was inside the car so stripped the entire rear interior...turns out it wasn't :grin:

Next port of call was to check the top mount nuts, I was removing rear shocks earlier to cut the bump stops anyway so tightened them, which hasn't made a difference :angry:

Bump stops cut:



Also fitted some Only Charged Dubs rear bag brackets which are wider and thinner than the standard ones which will allow the rear to sit lower:

Old fitted:



Old vs New:



I also took a rear spacer off to see how it sat without it:





I quite like it :grin:

Looking smart man. Gti lights look miles better than the all reds in my opinion.
