Been real busy sorted out some "must finish jobs",got my pilot driving lights working as mentioned in a separate thread,got my euro front indicator conversion finished with the DIY kit a bought a long time ago from member Martin Baker,had some fitment issues as the reflectors had no holes drilled to locate them,sorted that and soldered/wired up from dual top filament holder down to power lower lamp holder for parklight as per euro spec.
One thing I noticed was because you have to cut off the contacts on the 5 watt side on the top dual filament holder, the lamp has less contact and tends not to contact as well leading to a working not working issue ,replace both lamps and sorted as the lead contacts on both old lamps were worn down.

.
Well my LED conversion turned out to be a waste of money due to regulations in my country,when I bought this kit there was no mention of this being an issue,but now they are deemed non-compliant due to beam scatter and brightness,I normally don't agree with these regs but in this case they are right.
Onwards again with my H4 lamps and TBO are pretty good,got the headlights basically aligned to body and pretty close without a beam setter.
Cheers.
