Both the ones on eBay are petrol so I'll probably just ring FRF and ask their prices as usual.

bigboz, can you send me a link to the exact side marker bulbs you bought? The ones I got, via the link that you said you used, are about 3mm too tall to fit into the reflector. The Wife™ asked the electronics guys at work and they said desoldering the top diode would stop the whole thing from working, so I'm sending them back for a refund.

I have looked in my ebay history and it appears that the listing is marked as private in my feedback so i cant get to the link from there. Mount vision rider posted the link originally, ask him perhaps, i cant remember the name of the thread they were in......BUT, they are not the tower type, they are flat so don't stick up at all.....

Thanks for posting that fuel cap link bigboz, mine's on its last legs too

I have just used exactly the same LEDs to do my marker lights that bigboz has just posted, got 10 of them from China on a 1p sleeper auction (with 85p postage)! They took 8 days to get here. Try searching for T10 4 SMD. Some here for 99p http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10PCS-T10-...-/291025501918

I'm considering trying LEDs again for the tail lights, I had a bad experience last time with some really shoddy bayonet towers, they started flickering after a week, but the ones I got this time for the sidelights seemed to be much better build quality. (Time will tell of course.)

I'll have to remember to ring FRF tomorrow and ask about the springy fuelly thingy for the diesel, they probably have it
