Cruise Lights fitted today

[iani]

I got my cruise lights fitted today, unfortunately I didn't have any small piggy back connecters available for the live feeds so no illumination yet but they do work.

Must do my front ones.... although I need to modify them for the repeater lamps so I can have both cruise and flashers

Looking good indeed. Any shots of the car with them on (as in all of it?) .

Not yet Chas, couldn't get out with top down today as I'd had some welding done to the rear damper mounts this morning and the paint was drying, otherwise I would have been taking some pics.

Daft question, but what is a cruise light?

Daft question, but what is a cruise light?

Lights on the side of the car in place of the rear badges and in the front repeaters (US) spec.

Fed cars have them as standard:

Side rear lights. the front side lights are indicators. Expensive to buy though.

I converted my front repeater flashers to include a front cruise lamp. There is a small indent area on the holder where the FED bulb holder goes, I drilled this and fitted bulb holders bought from Car Builders Solutions. It works a.treat.

I tried that Danny, but didn't like the way the light was as the the original repeater sits proud - the Federal marker lamps sit flush, but as you are aware the lamp is at the end and there is not the depth of lens to fit a flasher bulb in the middle. My solution currently involves a panel of white LEDs that sit under the reflector lens, after the foil reflector backing is removed. I have the LED panels virtually ready to fit and it gives the effect I want in the off car mockup.

The main problem now for me is time, and importance of the various jobs I have to do before the MOT in July, so the front cruise lights will just have to wait....

Kryten, Interesting solution, can you post some pics when completed.
