THE POSTMAN'S BEEEEEEEEEEEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by M 80NGO » Sat Sep 24, 2011 3:56 pm

Even tho i have a severe case of manflu i have managed to muster the strength to share with you nice people my most exiting news =D>

Got home from work last night and this lill beauty was waiting for me :D
Image
Thats right my high level LED brakelight and chrome surround has arrived

Fits neatly together and as an added bonus it has wiring for both tail and brakelight
Image

So even tho i was suffering from manflu out came the tools and she was soon mounted in place
Image

Wiring was easy peasy Just need it to get dark now for some more photo's.

Whole job took about 3 hours start to finish, was made harder by my end conversion and cost me £30 all in 8)

GET DARK !!!!!!!!!!!

I bet it'd look like you were blushing if your brake was pressed whilst you were stood at the back of your bongo at night! 8) How bright is that light? I really like how you have the option of having a lower light level when you put the sidelights on, that's a really nice touch... Hell! I may copy that for my bongo! :D

I think you and i like the same stuff M80... You and me both have amber running lights on the sides of our bongo's 8) The side ambers are similar to your new brakelight in some ways too... Dual function, my running lights flash a brighter amber with the indicators 8)

Maybe we were both magpies in a previous life and we like bright shiney stuff :lol: .
I just sooooo love LEDZ they're just so brite and clear, i do like the linked indicator option that you have on your van summat that i may well have to look into 8) , my amber running light will be going from 3 per side to 5 per side when the van goes in for new arches as i'm gonna remove the running boards before it goes so it can also be fully undersealed right up to the edges

The kirb mirror looks good but i don't really need one on the bongo tho i use it all the time when i'm truckin round the uk but as i can angle the passenger mirror electronically down for parallel parking its just not for me unless it comes with ledz of course :lol:

Keep up the good work bdc, keep it clean, keep it mean, keep it green 8)

No my van is spoilerless and has been since its birth + a spoiler would have been easy to do but i like to do things slightly outside the box :wink:

Yes it is very bright tho and should defo give other road users a clear warning to when i'm on the brakes 8)
