Have done the extra brake light mod at the same time, so have a butchered loom with some connectors left on it, if anyone wants a couple of the internal connectors with a few inches of wire on to do the same than let me know and I will post them out for a couple of quid

Remember that the mod is technically a breach of the lighting regulations.
