Got the idler arm from Shropshire on the way back, fitted it as soon as I got home and it took away a lot of the play and stopped the tyres screeching, there is a hell of a lot of play in the ball joints now though on the centre steering bar but should all be sorted soon, just sourced the last pitman arm I needed to get them strngthened

It's shredded my tyre through, the outside is just about legal now

They look cool are you going to wire them in as DTRL's or are you happy with them as an extra side light ?

When I wired mine on the Beamer I used this relay to comply with UK legislation for MoT etc.

The relay needs a feed from dip beam to switch off the DTRL's when driving at night you can of course not bother with this connection or put a switch in the circuit. The clever bit is you have to take a live feed from the ignition and the relay must be voltage sensitive as will not illuminate unless the engine is running.
I used a feed on the auxilliary side of the ignition circuit for this.

There are cheaper similar items on flea bay but I decided to use this one in the hope it is better made the wiring diagram is shown with the item.

if you can't paint the lines far enough away from the kerb that is your problem.
Parking on the pathway is and offence
Being too fat is a modern day problem and I will call it "Victimisation"
If you have any further problems please see Mr Cooper STT and he will re-inforce the amount of F"cks I do not give about your silly white lines

Having looked at them in the night light Wow , yes they need to be switched, cheers for the heads up...

The council do not like me as they had to change all of the parking bay markings in the town after an argument witg me about a parking ticket.

After that I took them to the traffic penalty tribunal and had a further two tickets cancelled that must have cost them a fortune to contest.

I was in the top three of a council list of troublesome constituents
