Footwells are done :D had a slight problem when installing the blue cathode tubes.

Two of them broke meaning they were no good, so instead went and bought white LED lights.

Wired them into the back of the headlight switch, so they come on when the switch is turned.

Really impressed with the quality of the lights 8) In the end, i was quite pleased the blue ones broke, because i actually prefer the white ones, haha ! :D

Tested them out last night but there a little bright, so going to wrap some tinting film around them to dull them down.

Will upload a pic later when its dark :)

Sounds cool,you'll have to get some pictures up when you get the chance.

I was only kidding Alex,just a term for messing or untidy wiring haha.

If the tinting tape fails Greg you could always try and wire a resister in series with the LED's supply that should dim it down abit.Play with different values to get the brightness correct.

Bought a GTI spoiler from a breaker on ebay Thursday, arrived yesterday :D

Atm its red, but going to get it sprayed silver along with my handles at the same time 8) Am pretty impressed with the quality of the spoiler considering the price! Breaklight wiring is still in tact along with the bolts :D, minor damage on 2 corners due to the packaging, but can be easily fixed.
