Hey Obsession, without seeing the rangerover, i choose the hilux. Hey shane can we get a poll for this VERY important question, lights make the van, and paint, and wheels, and well everything makes a beddy. lol  ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;) I agree lets see some photoshop pics.  ;) ;D As for leds petrol, everyone is going led, and soon thats all you will be able to buy, thank god, leds look cool. My van is getting nothing but leds, mmmm one day i might get to see it all lit up at night.
Hey obsession, i hope you paid the light model the correct rate of pay.  ;D ;)

my 2 cents for what its worth  ::)

I preferred the first set gq40 in the series you posted.

The last couple were too sliver and looked a bit cheap...
even though they are led's $$$

I've seen them for sale at super cheap auto.

Hey you can still run the first set with LED replacement globes
plenty of places sell them now.

cheers

Ian

Post by: Bedfordcrazy on August 08, 2011, 10:24:21 AM

Hey Obsession, couple of days ago someone posted a site, something plastics that do a clear beddy light. I asked the question, can they do a one off custom light, maybe they can do a one off euro WB light for you.

I like the gq40, they just suit the style for a Bedford, some are just to fancy........... my 2c worth.

Ok could get away with the pair above in between...........

Hey obsession, i was  looking at the cruiser lights, i have the same cruiser, problem was each light was about $400 give or take, 4 parts to the lights that was getting pricey. I even looked at aftermarket, still gettig up around the $2000 mark. They would look good.

 ::) I was quoted $200 bucks for both (2) those lights in the photo less than  2hours ago.

Hey Obsession,
                      ok rang alanco in WA, WOW, are these switches up there for price, a simple switch for say driving lights, is up around the $50+ mark for 1 switch, and i have to get my own mounting plate cut to house the switches, they dont make or sell them. I may have to try a Narva distributor and see what they are like, nice switches but have to get real.

Hey George

These Hella rocker switches look pretty close...

http://www.hella.co.nz/3-387/product/Rocker-Switches (http://www.hella.co.nz/3-387/product/Rocker-Switches)

I've used these Narva 63026BL ones (bottom of the page) in the WRX for some spots and they look the trick too. Almost factory. They're a very tidy little unit.

Hi Rogue, the hella look the part, will give them a tingle. I suspect that alanco may sell to the mining industry so that could explain the price. Depends on how much cash i have to splurge after i pick up my new zero-turn mower in a couple of weeks. lol  ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) :D

This is what I did for tail lights, $45 each, (I have now finished that job but I haven't got a pic with the lights in)
I think it was a big improvement to look of the back end, the big window looked a bit out of place with standard lights.

Nummy, if you have a look at the code of your first failed post, you wrapped the link in both a URL and IMG tag, instead of just the IMG one.

If you look at the second post (the one I "quoted") you will see you used just the URL tag, and thats why just the llocation link shows, not the picture.

If you "quote" this post you will see the required format.
