Very nice! I wouldn't mind s/h LEDs, but I wouldn't have s/h harnesses.

Good price!

Interesting day. Seats arrived and I'm having a headache putting them in. Vitara subframes are higher one side than the other, will have to fabricate some brackets. Started drilling and putting in the lights, 4 done 2 to go. (note Piglet smiling at me lol)

Then I found a fuel leak. Heavy smell of petrol in the cabin. Examined under the bonnet...nope. Under the car...nope. Must be the filler tube...nope. Drove down the road with the window open, hardly any smell. Closed the window and it stank again. OK this is very odd. Then I noticed the air freshener I had put in earlier. IT stank like petrol. Called sea breeze. Sea breze my arse unless the Exxon Valdez had crashed into it...hey ho.

Nice seats! I need to fit my new seats too, and the SJ has the same odd height seat mount issue.

Thinking of cutting it all out and making custom seat mounts.

It might just be the camera angle, but are those lights going to light up anything other than the roof?

I was worried about that and got a straight edge out. They will light up directly in front of the car, I think 6 is overkill but they will look sweet. Squirrel spotters really but very bright.
