Did you cut a hole and use the same fitting as the near side on the offside?

Yes the offside needs to be cut to make the hole for the light to fit into. The lights I bought were a little bigger than the standard A2 unit so had to make the hole in the left a little bigger then make the hole on the right. Someone did produce a template for the positioning of the right hand light unit but I can not remember who it was. I think I still have the template and if so will post it here. Apologies to the owner of this template.

Sorry @Jellybean I always try to credit those that have already done the hard work.

Yep,Can not remember the part number but they were complete led replacement units. The ones I used had the dual wiring sockets i.e. the large socket as the original fitted on the A2 and also the smaller socket. the smaller socket was utilised to wire in the second light on the offside.
Similar to these...

The very same LED panel bulbs I purchased years ago for my old commuter. Have since been moved to the OEM A2 and still going strong. No flickering. Very happy with these as they brighten up the luggage compartment brilliantly on the darker evenings after work.
Go for it as you won’t be disappointed.
Kind regards,

this is the front left wheel bearing. Meh. Now to find parts and someone who knows how to replace with the correct tool.
I suspect strongly it is connected.
this needs completed
no changes here, though I'm now back at home after having delivered Monster to Uni, so the A2 can come off the road soon again. In the mean time there's opportunity to fix some stuff.
this is and it will
I found a really good looking place to stay and I think I have a couple of alternative catering possibilties lined up - I need to confirm some stuff this week if possible.
It was */really/* nice up north this weekend - morning air had just a hint of chill in it, but sunny. Fully expect to see frost in the next couple of weeks up there and within the month here. Three weeks to Equinox!

I think this is something that one of mine needs Mike! Not looking forward to swapping it.

Seconded. The least favourite thing I’ve done on an A2 ?

Finished off fitting front shocks . Which lead into removing rusted brake disc back plates. Bit of painting of brackets . New track rod ends because one wouldn’t undo and both gaiters were split!
Brakes all cleaned and moving freely but will be putting new discs and pads on soon . The offside front shock top is a bit of torture but move the brake reservoir out of the way and you can get a 1/4 ratchet with a 13mm socket onto the bolts . Couldn’t delete my wanted post for some of the hub bolts today so did a bit of trip out and collected them from two different car parts places .

You have the benefit of being bendier than I sir. The fact you managed it on the beach at Bream without seeming to utter any expletives was a triumph!I quite like the brake light switch job - just one Torx bit and I already know how to get all the panel bits off ... that's my kind of fix

Today I swore a lot as some thieving scumbag has stolen the front part of my exhaust from directly below the number 5 in the diagram below to just before the rear lambda (13). Just sawn it off. I presume the box between items 7 and 13 is a catalytic converter or the post cat lambda would be farther forward?
When I started the car, I thought someone had swapped the engine for a Rolls Royce Merlin!
Wanted ad posted in market place for a replacement.

Jeez that’s awful. Where was the car parked?

In a parking bay at the side of the A40 in East Acton.
It’s a road that’s never quiet, busy 24/7

Shocked to hear this Ian ? The last thing you needed right now, too.
Most of what I feel about this sort of thing is well outside the A2OC ethos and can't be posted on here ?.
The least uncharitable opinion I can express is that I hope justice and karma catch up with them - particularly karma ?

Hi Ian,
Sorry to hear this, having suffered the same thing on my Galaxy, I took the opportunity to have a stainless steel system made with a cat replacement pipe the same dimension as a non oem cat .
My mk 2 Galaxy VWAUDI exhaust was nearly £2000 against £600 for the stainless system & ecp cat.
cheers

Ian @Bargepower REALLY SORRY TO HEAR THIS LATEST BAD NEWS
Just shows nowhere is safe now. Always surprises me that passers by never question why a car is hastily and dangerously been jacked up and some dodgy geezers crawling around with power tools and saws. Something must be on a dash cam or CCTV?
