martin - from memory it was from Scorpion. it didn't need any adaptation to work with the step, but it did need extra plastic shims to get it level and the coating was quite poor in relation to the mantec one on my 300.

hope that helps Thumbs Up

I'm sure some people see fog/rain/spray and think- "aha! I've got a button for that!" And probably don't know what it actually does!
Rant over, how about double reverse with the fog light in the hole in the crossmember?


Thats what I was thinking...

I too would be interested...£47+VAT seems like an extortionate price for basically 2 ABS plastic mouldings and a pair of reflectors. I know tooling for small volume stuff like this ain't cheap but surely they've pitched this wrong, halve the price and you would more than double the unit sales?

In case anyone is wondering what we're talking about, they're here: http://www.paddockspares.com/kbx9101-kbx-n...-pair.html

For anyone interested in the 95mm NAS route. the plinths are available here for £3

https://bearmach.com/lamp-plinth-95mm-amr3850r
or genuine ones at
https://www.famousfour.co.uk/new_parts/ff_part?part=10339

What I am interested is has anyone found a splitter lead or loom to make these double? Double Reverse and double Fog. And what's the best way to get the wiring neatly to the other side nicely?

If it's anything like your Coris build I'd expect nothing less. Again read all 48 pages of it last night. Can't believe you laser scanned the interior and 3D printed a switch holder

Can I ask where do you get the looms from or do you just buy the bits and make them up? I'd like to be able to put it back to original, but to be honest I doubt I ever would so chopping a harness is no big deal.

I just buy LR extension looms for around £5 and make it up. You have to core a 25mm hole though so its a permanent addition anyway

I have had extre reverse lights before on the rack etc but then its more hassle getting wires run etc so i think it a nice simple factory look to gain some extra light. Andy

Thanks Andy
As you've had your in parts so many times what's the easiest/neatest route from one side to the other?
