And then Grafty he can spray it pearlescent purple, pop down to the local supermarket carpark, after hours, bass turned up to 10 and do some doughnuts for the local ladies...

Haha, if that's your bag then under the sills would be more appropriate

Thanks guys.
Grafty, I don't think I have enough street-cred to install down lights but I like the idea
I had another go at it yesterday in the dark and actually with the rear work light on and full beams on it isn't too bad. Will see how we go though and keep an eye out in case they go on sale. I think I will probably go with a scene light as the look good and are very highly recommended. Just need to save up a bit now  Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

I actually find it easier to reverse in to my (dark) driveway with just the sidelights on so I don't get the reflections.

I have to reverse down a tight-ish, sloped, bushed, 100m gravel track avoiding the cat (Grenadier Jnr). I find the hazards and a dab of brake lights up far more than the simply appalling reverse light (which will be upgraded at some point).

There is, somewhere, a Defender where the whole roof lifts up to form a mobile disco. I've tried searching but I can't find it  |

Just as an update have now successfully move in
I had a look around and found there was a PIR light which should be working, reported it to the estates management and now we have ample light to reverse by Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

It only takes a minute to register on their website to get prices.
Is buying from them more complicated than that? |

No fella that's all there is to it at least that's all I did. The bacs payment system is a bit weird but I suppose they are used to dealing business to business rather than with a short fat bloke looking to pimp his ride
I have my needs
