has any1 got a pair of these, im slightly confused, have wired them up correctly, nut the indicators still flash double speed as if a bulbs out but it isnt. I think its because the bulb is loads smaller guys the only way i can think of getting around it is by using a resister

just keep the original indicator bulbs attatched but hide them behind bumper and wrap tape around them so the flasher wont think u have a bulb out

btw, if you had quad lights, could you use angle eyes as indicator lights? (if they were flashing of course). Does anyone what the legal side of things would be? And also, could you get them to be a bright enoughb orange?
cheers

Ok people ive got to be straight PLEASE do not use this guy!! All im saying is im 21 and have just started working in our family Debt Recovery Business for the High Sheriff and lets just say members of my family know Al even better than I do and lets just say my family aint into modded cars
Basically he aint that good with his money. I think those lights are a bleeding ripoff, just out of interest I went in and spoke to someone who works on kits in their about 4months ago and asked him to call me when they were ready as I wanted some, the chap said they would be ready in a couple of weeks and would like up-front payment  I refused and said call me, I never recieved a phone call. I'd get your cash back people and lay it down when he has goods. It aint even his own place, its a relations and couples up as a building flooring/carpet/window tinting/bodystyling outlet. hummm DODGEY !!

LOL slander. He doesnt know me that well, and all I have done is sugested that people in my family, who he doesnt know are in my family know him quite well and also merely stated some of my familys occupation. Mouthing off about how bad I feel his business is in a post is the least of his problems. If he can pull up the cash for a solicitor with the CCJ's he has just to attempt to sue me then he needs his head testing

Well I would have posted something earlier guys, but I've been REALLY REALLY poorley with the flu
To let you all know, I rang Al last week, the same as I did the week before and the week before that and the week...... you get my drift.
Each time he says 'they'll be ready next week'
It got to the point where I said 'If they're not done by next week then I want a full refund and wait till another company starts producing them. It shouldnt take long for it to kick off somewhere else'
He understood where I was coming from but ASSURED me I'd have them the next week.
Insidently, whether its true or a yarn, he has said that another bodyshop was taking care of moulding kits as well as the lights and they have been pissing him about BIG style with other customers on his back for stuff too.
He has now apparently got his own unit where he'll be producing all the stuff himself (well guys that work for him anyways), so that he's not relying on other people. If thats the case then then he's learnt the hard way and should now be able to set the buisness up reliably (if thats the case!!)
I went to Nottingham as arranged on Monday to pick up my lights. They were ready!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT, not at the shop
So I had to wait from 10.30am till2.30pm for him to sort himself out, get to the bodyshop to pick the lights up and get back to me.
Then it took another hour to try and sort out the problem with the shape of the lights (one side different to other). A problem that should have been sorted when they were moulded (thats what I was waiting for)
Came away from the shop WITH the lights, but not really overwhelmed with the quality and the fact that the lights are still not identicle.
I came down with flu the very same day and the lights are still in the back of my car.
I'm in two minds whether to spray them up and fit them to see if if its just me nit picking at the moulds and they look OK or whether to not bother with them at all and get a refund
Might get chance to fit them tomorrow without them being sprayed up, just to get a look. Probably take a couple of pics too, but TBH, even tho I got my set slightly discounted for the advertising I did, I would not be happy spending the full whack on them only to find they are not quite right.
I think it only fair for me to post a couple of pics of the lights as they are anyway so you can see what you're getting for your money and let you decide.
I feel quite guilty TBH seen as though I was giving him all the plugs and recommending him and he's let me and everyone else down.
In fact, two minutes, I'll get the lights out the car and do the pics now..............................................................
