Available from just kampers 10/10 when working 0/10 when not http://www.justkampers.com/shop/reverse-light-fitting-kit-j10511.html cost £21.00 very easy to fit, just need to fit the sender into the gearbox take a wire to coil and then from sender to lights and all works
Very bright! Must admit, it does sound a better idea than reversing and hoping that people notice the huge box shape on wheels that is moving backwards! Perhaps I can persuade Matt to get them fitted ... although I suspect the response will be getting the leaking window sorted and finding whatever loose wire is causing the temperamental starting issues is higher up the list of priorities
update. seems they only work sometimes due to distance of the pin in the sender. tried a washer between gearbox and sender and that fixed it for a few days might be unrelated but think others have had same issue
