evening all :) did you have light guards on ??if so twiggs or branches can get caught up and rip the guards of with the lenses, light guards are a no no for green laning imo::

Re: where have my lights gone? by rancidrich on Sun Sep 20, 2009 9:18 pm
i had no light guards on.
went head first into the ruts and as i went through the truck tipped and heard the sound of crunching metal , i didnt realise i ripped the lenses off till i got to the end of the lane and stopped to check out the damage.
hopfully a trip to the local scrappy might have it fixed tomorrow.
There again now might be a good time to try to make some custom lights :)

Re: where have my lights gone? by gregster on Sun Sep 20, 2009 9:31 pm
If you are doing custom tail lights the small round Landrover ones are good as the lenses are stupidly cheap and can be bought without the backs...
Will retro fit into most things...on a fronty I would remove the complete taillight rear that remains and then make a flat plate that mounts in the back of the hole remaining...mount the landy lights through that and then screw the plate into the oe light fitting holes at the back...job done!
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!
