Finally got around to swapping the tail lights for the ones that Scooter Scott sold me..
:censor: me, easiest modification yet :yahoo:
However, at the moment I haven't got a rear fog light :doh: , still working on that one
Anyhow, here are the pictures.
How the Maverick looked at the rear...
L/H rear lights, the G.B. version is on the left.
Rear view, again, the G.B. version is on the right.
R/H rear lights, the G.B. version is on the right.
Rear view, again, the G.B. version is on the left.
And how the Maverick looks now, the O/S reverse light has now been wired up
O.k., apart from the rear foglight, the other differences in the clusters are that the American ones have both a rear reflector, and the backing of the tail light housing has been modified to allow a red light to shine at the side of the car, I presume thats to satisfy some Federal law regarding side markers.
Oh, and the housing for the rear fog is 1.5 X the size of all the others, looking at the piccies will make that last staement a lot clearer.
To acheive a really harmonious rear end of the car, I'll have to get a 12S trailer socket, to match the 12N socket next to the towball, Hmmm. will need Blizzardmans help with that one :shrug:
Ease of installation guide:
Ciggie count : 3 ( 2 whilst installing, 1 when standing back and admiring
Coffee count : 1
Beer count : 1
Injury count : 0 :yahoo:
Weather type : light drizzle
