I have just swapped out standard for Wipac clear LEDs. Due to my rear lightguards and the fact they are designed for OEM lights I needed to source some as close to OEM as possible. These were a tighter fit than OEM.

Standard front.

Wipac LED.

Have got the Wipac fog and reverse LEDs on order and am considering doubling them up on the rear instead of just one of each.


Sorry to change the subject but those light guards are very nice would you let me know where I could price up and look at getting a set?

Thanks...

Although I'm not a fan of light guards myself I can see the bonus of the ones K9F has as well as the looks.
The mounting is into the light surrounds and not into the body so totally reversible.

I don't have kbx would there be sufficient space behind standard light surrounds to mount these too ?

Possibly, but if not if you use softer Alu rivets you could grind them down to just a few MM. And tape over also to protect the paint.

BUSY?

That is an understatement!

We had to send out for the ice creams.

Saturday night we were all too tired to go to the arena to watch the night time events. We just collapsed ate and drunk on the stand.

So yes a good busy show.

Back on topic now Embarassed

Didn't know WIPAC did an LED replacement, so thanks for the head's up. Took a gander on-line and noticed they do a version of the original 73mm 'domed' lights which I think look great as I am really not a fan of the large, flat NAS style lights.

Voila:

Got our set and number plate led lamp all wipac from MPS trading off eBay - good next day service
Went for clear and red.

4 prong relay just turned the knob until the trailer light went out, no issue so far

Can't post pictures as they all go to my gallery maybe that's just an iPhone thing.

Did you use the Wipac relay? There are conflicting reports on the trailer light function.

Turned the knob until the trailer light went out- not tried it with a trailer yet to see what happens but all working fine so far.
