Growlers' GU DX

Do the earlier series 3 tail lights fit yours. then you can have decent reverse lights in conjuction with a reverse light
on a stand if you go that way

Dunno
I think down the track I'll get the falsies working though

[threedogs]

Yeah but that only gives you brake lights doesn't it, not sure
I've seen some done with the indicators and brake like working,
but I went for the reverse light, awesome in the bush at night

I'll have to check but i rekon the reverse lights do work in the tail light not the bumper light???

The extra lights are very handy from a safety perspective, and look good too.....

Reverse Light is only in the body, but you only have drivers side light from the factory.


When the time comes, you can purchase the aftermarket ones with LED Lights or normal globes, and with a little bit of wiring, you have Stop/Tail, Reverse and Indicators in the body on both sides.

From what I can remember, Drivers side was plug and play, but you need to add stop and tail from below, and the passenger side requires a wire from the other side for reverse, and the rest from below.

I had a couple of nice wire grommets perfect for the job, and there is a flat spot underneath on the inside panel which looks like it was made for a wiring loom but there is no hole ( lie down and look from the chassis rail towards the inside body panel and it will be obvious. I just drilled the hole, painted the edges and inserted grommet with wiring, then straight across to the bumper lights ( and dont freak out too much about the miniscule factory wiring you will find. I just bared back the insulation where I could, wrapped the new wire around, soldered and taped. All good.

Fitted up the scan gauge today and my breather extensions. The tnsfr case and gearbox looked to be an absolute bastard to get to. So I've connected the extensions to the original rubber breathers fitted a treat
