Has anyone fitted a dash illumination kit? (Minispares part #MSSK2007) I didn't realise that there was a kit available and I was going to have a go at doing my own until I stumbled upon the Minispares version. Now I'm wondering if I should have a go or save myself the bother and order one.

Is this the one that does the lights on buzzer as well?
Someone posted the link the other day, twenty odd quid if I remember.
I'm getting one myself.

Its a little bit more than £20, Try nearer £40... http://www.minispare...c/MSSK2007.aspx

 

Although I'm more for finding a diy alternative, as for £40 I'd be expecting something to be plug and play and not supplied with these horrid blue snap connectors. Plus for me, the headlamp doesn't have a light and the brake test switch is pretty pointless as it defeats its purpose. So for £40, it would just be the rear heated window, rear fog and hazard switches being illuminated.

I'm pretty sure the original kits that Moss used to sell were in fact plug-in, with inline connector blocks for each switch, and were cheaper. It means having three times as many plugs and loads of extra wiring above the heater though. A tight fit and asking for an electrical fire.

£31.50, for me anyway as I'm in the channel islands and don't pay VAT, I have to pay that other tax they call postage so it'll be more like £60 for me. I was going to take a switch apart and see if I could some how add a small LED to it and conect that to the sidelight circuit. From the picture I'm trying to work out what the connections are on the wiring but it doesn't let me enlarge it well enough.

Thank you in advance !
