    Mine are stock headlights and foglights, If it is OK then I am willing to Join, not sure if I can get extra lights fitted before the drive today.

    Faheem I believe you still have the extra lights in your warehouse, any place who will fit it for me in short notice ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ :drive: :drive:

    It’s a max 1 hour job for the wiring. Needs ~6 meters 18 gauge automotive wire, a Bosch 40A relay with 30A fuse, and a switch with 10A fuse. (that’s my layout, if I remember correctly)
    The most painful is fitting the brackets… depending on your rails structure, I can use my super-drill if required ๐Ÿ˜€

    Hey Denis nice to see you back in action… any idea where I could pick up relay/switch/wire? I can go now and pick lights from Ras Al khor.. :drive: :drive:

    @Vijay
    – Auto plus in Deira will supply you with all and also do installation if you wish.

    Going to Ras al khor to pickup lights, let me try my luck, Faheem, please let me know if the drive gets cancelled.

    Good luck Vijay.
    As Zarir mentioned, AutoPlus can do it all. They were in my list before I decided to do it myself ๐Ÿ™‚
    But its a very easy task, so anyone with basic electric knowledge can do it.
