haha i meant.. when you have parkers on.. they both light up. when you break, the top bit goes BRIGHTER. and hte bottom bit stays the same.

hmm. i have 3friends that have done the ek9 DIY, and its not as bright when parkers are on as my ones . still dont know why ! weird..

Big props mang well done :thumbsup:

^^ did exactly the same last night turned out awesome
nice write up EK4R

haha yeah nice write up... looks much better aye jimmy

damn that looks mad tu88y!
good work!

Very nice write up..!

One question.
Is there any way of fixing the new light into the hole instead of taping it? It would be good to make it easier to change bulbs when they blow.

well if u can be bothered, draw a template and cut it around that. so it will fit. but taping is that hard either. just few tapes :P

You lazy focker!!! Twist & tape.... wtf.

Do it once, do it properly, DO IT YOURSELF!!! :thumbsup:


serious note: If you are lazy and only want to twist em, put heatshrink around them instead of tape. Tape is for panzies.

you can't use heat shrink if you only tap into the original harness, if you cut the old harness and then re join em, then you can use heat shrink.


unless you have heat shrink tape, don't know how well that works though.
