Tail lights have decided they're working again today ormi... I get the bulb out warning on pressing the brake though...

I swear it's trying to extract the urine now :biggrin:

Dave's IS200 Sport - dodgydave - 26-03-2019

Ok yes your bulb holders are the same as mine.

As Gord said the green/black wire is earth so connect to the existing White/black. The white I discovered is for the fog/ brake (25w filament) so this connects to your existing green/orange wire and the black is for the tail light (5w filament) so connect to the Green wire of the feed to the number plate light.

I got the black and White wires connected the wrong way round and had all fogs and brake lights on with rear lights!! All ok now though.

As mentioned previously, I took the car for a paint treatment/enhancement on sunday and picked it back up yesterday. I was holding off posting till I could get some of the pics the detailer (Robert) took with the 50/50 shots and the like, but I have some now, so here we go:

Car on arrival at Robert's:

Degreaser solution all over:

After washing, you can see a lot of the swirls/scratches a bit more clearly:

I must say there's a significant and noticeable difference - I'm well chuffed with the work Smile

Dave's IS200 Sport - karlp - 30-03-2019

Wow, I'm really wanting a da polisher now Smile

Dave's IS200 Sport - DaveEdin - 30-03-2019

Cheers lads, am very happy with it Smile

Karl, I posted up a link off gumtree the other day with a guy selling a bunch of stuff that would get you started including pads and a polisher... Think he was looking for £130 for the lot...

well worth the work, looking great dave :thumbup1::thumbup:

Dave's IS200 Sport - Phil01 - 30-03-2019

Looks better than when it was new now dave, bet you are well happy.
Without being nosey and you do not have to say, but what does a correction like that cost?
50/50 shots are amazing, you really do not realise how much your paint deteriorates over time.

Dave's IS200 Sport - Dark Samurai - 30-03-2019

Does look pretty good, love the 50/50 shots just so you can compare.
