All the gauges are ok it's just the lamps - but I'll bear your offer in mind Carson, thanks.
These chrome rings must be purchased from somewhere before the ebay seller's advertise? - maybe Performance Products? I'll take a look.. although I would prefer a UK source to minimise shipping costs.
Cheers
