Eoi: C210 Hotplate Tail Lights

[passin ewe]

So I take it these aren't a straight clip together wire up like the ones I have now.Did you connect yours up and did you have the Aussie choc block lights before?

[Gordie]

I dont have any

Not sure if they are are straight plug in, they prob do lol.

i was going to buy these, but decided ill spending some money on new engine set for the daily.

[passin ewe]

So just to summarise, brakes, indicators and reverse lights are all in the one unit, just amatter of sorting the wiring if it's not a clip together job.

Oh dear, here I go again. "SOLD" but I'd like a behind ( back shot of them) just for piece of mind if you don't mind D-Limo. You can email me pics to [email protected] can you give me a number also to call you on asap. I'm off work on Tues & Wed, so I can forward to you the money then, providing pics arrive along with your bank details and a ph #. Talking on the phone is way better than email to & fro. Cheers Ricky

Email sent ricky.

Gordie its interesting you suggest they have had the lenses changed, makes them a little more special huh.

[Gordie]

yeah i think they look heaps better than the stock one.

[Silent Shadow]

wow i never even noticed that changed lens before. my set has the colored indicators. i does look pretty cool huh.

[passin ewe]

Is there any legality issues with it being a clear lense, it must be harder to see that you're indicating if your the car behind.

[passin ewe]

Orange globe will probably do it,doh

The AustralianDM, JDM charcoal hotplates and JDM chrome hotplates share the same plug/wiring. So, (other than orange bulbs) it should be a plug in and play arrangement.

Sweeeet. Thanks Drew. How's your machine going now, is it all sorted and running?

[coupe72001]

My car hasn't run for ages. Bolted on my old head with my new Dell'orto and it didn't run right. Pulled apart and found some bent valves, so had valves replaced and put head back on. Had timing chain tensioner chocked with a block of wood, but broke a huge splinter of wood off pulling it out, so had to remove timing cover to remove splinter, put it all back together, but it's been so long the battery is dead!!!

I'll try again tonight with a fresh battery and see how we go! D

[coupe72001]

Tried again with a fully charged battery and... she flies! Nothing broke, rattled or leaked and the Dell'Ortos appear to be going great guns. Still, I'll have them checked out by a pro to ensure I have correct needles, jetting etc.

[passin ewe]

That's fantastic news Drew, has she got a bit of get up and go?

I've just sent a message to D-Limo notifying him that I now don't intend to purchase his lights. Reason being the painting of my car has come around sooner than expected. I got a call from my friend informing me he now has power on at his shed and painting can begin within a month, so now I need the cash to cover this expense. This style of lights is just going to have to wait a while.
