Sorry a huge blonde moment there. Today I took out the 3 point harnesses and put in some far superior 4 point Sparco ones...lovely!

How did the led spots work out?? I'm torn between them and an led light bar for the front bumper.

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
Not wired up yet as it's not that important. So many other things to do on other vehicles first. But she will be finished (yeah right) soon.

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
Yeah I know what you mean, for every job I finish I find 2 more to takes its place, should call the car hydra! Lol is there anything tricky about wiring them in? Have been looking at the universal wiring kits but they seem to easy!

Ignore what the universal wiring kit tells you it's all wrong...just use a multi meter!

Re: the no dosh Vitara revamp
