Just got to fit the clamp bar that holds the drivers window to the regulator mechanism and wire a more modern radio and I'm done

I've been reluctant to do this, but it's the rules in Italy to have your lights on all the time and I'll be there in three weeks and with a 90W dipped beam, don't want to be running these 30+ temperature. That's my excuse anyway!
They are linear units that are secured to the lower most fake vent in the clipper kit bumper. Reluctant as I was, they actually look not too bad at all.

Today - off the axle stands and a test drive to make sure I don't have 5 reverse and 1 forward!

Got 4 gears and reverse - no first! Looks like back up on the stands and a bit of fine twiddling.

Craigt, have you got any pictures of the LED lights on the car.

E994 LUL passed her MOT today no small thanks to Criagt.
After the European trip I have had to work over the weekend and was unable to give her a spruce up before MOT. The thinking was if no problems materialised on the road in Europe then she stood a fighting chance of getting through with a clean bill of health.
Mentioned prior to submission about the reflectors the MOT station advised I stick them on.
So that is all I did to her put some reflector strips on the rear and she passed her MOT.

Thanks for the positive comments too guys, as I stated, I've been resisting fitting these for two years and I reckoned that this was the ideal place to locate the lights. I may even give them a little coating of tail light tint just to take that shiny silver effect away a bit. (that way they'll be 'invisible' :-0 )
I wouldn't have bothered getting the pics up if butleraw hadn't asked!
