Lightforce 140's

Opted for 2 pairs of LF 140's for the G4 expo rack. They are a perfect fit for the cutouts and brackets.

I have noticed though that the reflectors seem to be tarnished at the front edges, is this normal? It gives a yellow/brown tinge to them. They are brand new out of the boxes so wonder if anyone else has some for comparison?

Wiring runs down inside the windscreen A-pillar trim under the bonnet to a relay. Battery supply is via the relay with 30A cable. Run a feed from the main beam to trigger the relay and a switch in the car switching earth to the relay to isolate the lamps if not required.

Was thinking exactly the same earlier today....
grille off ebay and probably 2 driving lamps but everything interchangeable between standard grille and new "improved version".
Was also trying to work out if the reversing beeps could mute the radio via the same connector as the phone kit mutes it. I know it seems lazy but it would be convenient.

I think the ChrisTyler grill mod for LF's is the dog's danglies. It's on the list for when I get some spending money again....... Rolling Eyes

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery, so BIGUP for Chris T Bow down Bow down

It is one of those mods that you just think when you first see it - it looks like a factory mod!
