Got it

Look around halfway down, they are more expensive than i remember.

Point Lights is what they are called.

They are stop/tail lights mate. No good for interior use!

Halfords do a set of directional LED lights. You get a pair of them, They come on a little stick on bracket thingey which you can aim the unit. Then they plug in through a Cigerette ligher port.

If you are wiring them in, YOU MUST install a Cigerette lighter and plug them into that Because the Plug on the LEDs has a resistor in it, so Cutting the plug off and wiring them direct to 12v will cause both LEDS to pop! :nugget:


As for the ones 1984mini25 has installed, they are very good, They come all wired up and ready to hook up to anything 12v.

£5 for a flashing alarm light! :wub:
They are about £1.25 in halfrauds, And then you just wire it to a live!
