    Another thoroughly enjoyable vid Dave, nice one buddy. Can't tell you how great it is to see you're back. The most important thing is.... that bloody strip light is now living it's best life again 😂. One small suggestion for you buddy, will this be the year that you do a bit more to camera ? I understand privacy and all that, but it's great for your audience to put a face to the voice, it makes you more relatable and I'm sure will push your subscriptions to the next level. Hope this doesn't overstep the mark, it's not meant to.👍

    superman spec 🔴🔵
    Were you by any chance able to check if the wiring loom allowed for fog lights? I went to Vauxhall the guy I spoke to wasn't sure but he said he recalled that from factory there were two specs for the VXR, one that came with basic halogens front lights and a xenon upgrade which used a different loom. Unfortunately my car has the naf yellow halogens but I was able to swap out the DLR bulbs with LEDS with no warnings on the dash.

    • @DaveRebuilds
      @DaveRebuilds  3 дня назад +1

      Sorry dude, I completely forgot!! I’ll check it next time I’m out there 👍🏻 I’d bet both of the cars I have are the standard halogens tho
