    Nice work Paddy! Built the relay last night, drove to work with it today and finished the remote leds there... Relay is on the way now...

    Re: astra gsi mk3

    Shoot us some pics once you've got the dash lights up will you?

    And about the amounts, I can only build one every evening and already get almost more requests than I can handle..

    Nice, hope they're not too bright... If they are it is possible to change the resistor values if you can solder. Or I can make a trimmer fir you
