Whilst buying one or two bits and pieces from Leboncoin recently I seem to have struck up a bit of 'entente cordiale' with a few of the 'Citroeniste' sellers (the failure to wrap my tailblazer properly may have compromised this a bit! [ ]). However one of the guys has a couple of brand new pairs of SIEM fogs (nice yellow ones) and he's given BXC first refusal on them. I'm quite keen on one pair myself but there's another pair going if anyone's interested. They're not cheap; the price including postage is 150 Euros (that's about £127). Like I said, not cheap but brand new boxed - if you're in the market for a pair where are you going to get another set? PM me for more details if interested.
Too nice to put on a car IMHO. However I've several LED spotlights in the kitchen. I think these would look good above the hob.

If you've got the dosh you and one of your mates can strap them to your heads and pretend to be a zebra crossing is you like - there was nothing in the small print about actually putting them on a car. Although, if you did go for the Belisha beacon option I would think you were a bit unhinged.
At those prices I think those Frenchies are having 'un laugh' non? They want to get their hands on a few of those pound notes!
What happened to your Tailblazer Paul - is it several small ones now?
I bought an early 80s Sony Hi-Fi off Ebay, from a house clearance, perfect old-man condition, not a scratch on it til the seller put it in a cardboard box without any other packing and sent it to me. The CD player on the bottom and the tuner on the top got pulverised into 80s pieces. Fortunately the 18kg amplifier and the cassette deck survived, still without scratches. Some people don't do packaging..

Those lights are expensive Todd - there's no way round that one. I want a brand new pair for my Hurricane though and that's what a brand new pair costs; where am I going to find another set? I think for alot of rare BX accessories now the choice will be simple; pay a dumb ass price or go without - that's markets!
Don't get me started on the tailblazer - it'd been quite a good day up until now! It has a small crack in it caused (I'm sure) by the great galoot that is the Belgian postal service (and the seller who also doesn't 'do' packaging ). All things considered though it's fine, or rather it could have been a lot worse.

You can just see the crack up on the left but you can only see it from certain angles. I try and look at it only from angles where you can't see the crack.
