HI Rick yea i must admit im not lookin forward to tryin to fit this P/E togeather especially if i get the shakes so a nerve tab is the first order of the day to keep calm an yea the hanger lights look bright but when i get two seakings fitted in there they will cut the light power down as the leds are not that bright its the camera showin to much glare cheers for lookin in
