Side Repeater and Side Lights

Today I installed some clear side repeater lenses from VeeDubTransporters (amber bulbs on order) and some SED side lights from t4srus.co.uk.

Side Repeaters
Tools needed: a subway card! Use the corner of the subway card to get between the plastic light and the van wing. I started on the long side of the lens and worked towards the front corner. When the card is firmly in at the front just keep pushing and the lens will eventually pop out. Pull the bulb out, clean up the paint work and install the new repeater with the back edge first. Keep the clip to the front.


SED Side Lights.
Another easy 5 min job. I took the connector off the headlight bulb and then pulled out the side light. Pull the bulb out and replace with the new bulb.




The only trouble with having lovely white side lights is it shows how yellow the headlights are. Ive ordered some Philips Extreme Power H4 headlight bulbs from eBay and some Chrome Indicator Bulbs from Transporters R Us to get rid of the fried egg look of the amber indicator bulbs.
