Watch out for the forthcoming Saab 95 headlamp, working on it at the moment and it is going to have LED DRL's........

LED DRL's are now the 'in thing' as opposed to the old filament bulb solutions.......

Hi Guys,

OK, so they might not be to everyone's taste, but I reckon they might look good on my silver Octy, so I bit the bullet and paid £20 for a pair from fleabay...

The only thing now is, Im not sure how to wire them to the sidelights...

Should I cut the wires? Is there a way of doing it without hacking away at my wiring?

Any help would be appreciated as I want to crack on with them tomoro, I will take pics and post them on to let you lot see the results..

Thanks

i wouldnt cut them, just fuse the wires to them so if you dont like it the sides will still work and wont set off the bulb failure warning.

As promised...

I had my doubts about wether they might look a bit turd, but I can honestly say I love them..

I will try and get a few pics at night, as they really do look the business at night in my opinion.

Which is all that matters

opinions are just like assholes anyway - everyone has one, and most of them stink

I put some on my Vectra B before I sold it - took the headlights apart and glued the strips INSIDE the headlight unit - it was a b*tch of a job becuase the headlights are bonded together with incredibly sticky glue, but they looked wicked. I will probably have a go with the Octy too once I get hold of a spare pair of headlights.
