Default Headlight cable fix
I got myself a set of new silicone bulb fittings cos my old ones had melted (55w max) all I need to do is solder them in.

Good luck bro, I need to fix the clip that holds the cable in the right position, sometimes one of my lights is off since it's not properly in.

I've also lost 1 of the black silicone that protects the headlights from water, know where I can get those?

Hoggy, I've got a rubber cover in a box of bits, out shopping at the moment but will double check when I get home. You can have it for the postage price.

Hoggy, I've found the cover, if you send me an address, I'll get it off to you and I'll let you know how much the postage was. Just send me a pm.
