ow I can make such a list like that if I wanted.
I'll give it a try.

Btw: was thinking too to wire up all 4 lights as braking lights. how did you do the converstion? When the lights are on are they all lit, or only when you brake?

And where did you leave your indicators?
 
Oli,

The lights used for brake lights are the regular two inner lights with the addition and modification of the two lower lights.
What I had to do is purchase a euro left red fog lamp to replace the white lenz of the left reverse lamp.

This gives me two lower red lamps and then I bi wired them to work with the brake lights.

Looking good, I was thinking about having all four of the rear lights working as side and brake, but not much of a sparky so any help would be appreciated

Hiya everyone :) Funny! Just popping in after a long break, Regarding the lights , open up the rear panel in the boot or maybe remove the bumber , find the wiring loom and splice into the brake light wires. reasonably simple to do.
