No worries, that's where me and dan got our rear lights from, and I've got a set of those indicators to fit when I get time to fit my new grill etc

Bear in mind you will need to change the relays as (led's take less power I think) they will flash diff speed aka too fast

ahh, that could be a problem...

I found these on ebay, but as Trotter said you will need resistors to slow the indicator flash speed down. Less resistance through the led's as opposed to normal filament bulbs.

I do like dazerede's set up though, it really suits the style and era of the anus. Good job mate.

You can drill and fit these in your standard headlamps..
Resistors for the LED indicators are about 8-10 squid a pair.

I got some of those LED button type light from Bolt on Bits for indicators, I also got headlights with built in sidelights from there. And for the rear, LED stop, side & indicators, fitted into the bumper so as not to damage. I've also just fitted (not on the pic) an LED fog light as I was sick of knocking off the £4 ones when hanging off the bottom of the bumper.

Just a quick point, if you are using LED indicators, don't use ballast resistors, they are a pain in the arse!
get yourself an LED indicator relay instead. they only cost a couple of quid and do the same job! difference is you only need one of them and installation is as simple as taking the old relay out and putting the new one in!
The only thing i've had to do it slightly trim down the relay holder as the LED relay is a little bit bigger than the standard one
Mine's a bit like this:

I just filed down the element in my standard relay to match the resistances of the relay to the indicator circuit. Works a treat.
I do however have a relay for a jap SJ somewhere as I ordered the wrong one. (Hence I got pissed off and tried the fileing method)

Hmmm will see what I end up doing when I've made the bumper...
