Thanks Mego. I'll add these to the ever-growing list.
Just have to get things prioritised, gauges & exhaust first I think.

I've just done this mod on my 98 GU st wagon ..love it. easy to do after reading this thread,everything worked well until the day after.
My hazard lights worked fine after the instal as i tested everything ,the next day they worked one flash and stopped,fuse under the bonnet didnt blow
all the indicator lights still work,even flash with central locking just the hazard are cactus.
Any Ideas?

Did you replace the barn door brake light with an LED? I have tried but it wont work for some reason. Any thoughts?

Mate, my absolute pleasure! The difference it makes is huge and the looks from other GU drivers that haven't done or seen the conversion is priceless! lol

On some GUs the high mount stop light has been wired up incorrectly from factory.
The centre pin of the socket is wired as the negative and the outer housing is wired as the positive.
This is fine for an old style incandescent bulb but not for an LED.
You need to swap over the two wires in the connector near the high mount light.
I have done this on mine as well, just used a holesaw in the ones that came on the car, bought some globe holders from supercrap, filed out the little tabs for the globe holders after holesawing and wired it all up. The top light lens is still red but used an LED golbe in these so they appear orange.
I just bought a set from eBay, looking forward to getting them installed. I know it's been said to death but I can't believe they are only dummy lights to start with. Wouldn't it have been better to just add the bumper lights and leave the working originals instead of making them into blanks???
One of the better mods full LED reverse lights
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
I like it.
