They do! And the rear still switches on as per usual.

And if there is any problem I only need to unplug the connection and replug in the fuse to revert to OEM operation.

MrPerc. I havent read through the whole thread, but I saw you mention that you thought of led bulbs for your fogs. Have a word with Trups in the C6 section, he is really helpful :thumbs:

I haven't posted anything cause I didn't want to be accused of being moody :assflash:

I've been a busy boy and been fecked about a lot in the process, so I can guarantee I would have offended someone somewhere along the lines.
Glad MrPerc got this sorted, still think it is a poo idea though :lol: Oooo, that scotch lock, that does to me what dodgy badges do to bam.

Since when have any of us worried about offending anyone? I sure as <beep> don't care what I say to anyone smaller than me at least. Hell, you should see what I am saying whenever possible to the chavs on the Scooby forums, they love me. Your moodage seemed quite consistent is all. Demand more "special" sex from madam or get some fresh pr0n in to relax the tension dear boy.

Chunk - LED's could well be a future option - for now I'm just enjoying the gentle abuse here - I can go for brighter abuse later :biggrin3:

After all, so far the mod has cost me £2.32 plus a few bits from my spares box - don't want to blow all the budget at once!!

Good to see you back, Chunk. What's been bugging you? Did what happened in Vegas not, in fact, stay in Vegas?

Maybe the spelling Nazis have finally got to him.

Or maybe it's people putting words in his mouth? ;)

It was late, but that's no excuse for poor grammar. :lol:

I appreciate the correction but I'm blaming it on my Friday night alcohol consumption. :beerchug:

+1 :<beep>_you:

You know when you just seem to get fecked about, WITH EVERYTHING :bash:

Wheels should have been on the car atleast 3 weeks ago and other work should have been done last weekend. Wheels were faulty (so i'm told anyway) so having so more made, and the wheel company are useless at communication.
Other work should have been done last weekend and had to be cancelled for some reason, yet i still had to take the car to them to look at so they knew what they were doing. It was booked in for this weekend and they haven't got back to me so they can now suck my stump.
