Looks like a good project, Randy. Get rid of those 4" amber lenses -- if you can get them (I probably have one or two spare somewhere..), they are seriously overpriced. Because you can't get them. Unless you are into 100% original. You will be just as happy and serviceable with replacement...

Welcome. I'm a yank living in england, so I feel your language problems!

Hello LandyZone, I'm on my fourth Land Rover (1971 Series IIA 88, 1967 NADA 109 6 Cyl SW, 1966 ex-MoD 109 PU, and now a 2000 130 TD5 Crew cab Dropside). The Series trucks were all in the US, but now I'm in the UK, and have finally gotten what I have been lusting after for 15 years or so...
