Fitted LED DRL and fog lamps from the BigJimny store.

First is the DRL, LED on left, halogen on the right of the picture.
 

Now the fog, LED on left, halogen on the right of the picture.
 

I followed the wiki guide, all straight forward, took about 30 minutes for the first side and about 15 mins for the second.  I did have to remove more plastic fixings than the wiki guide suggested but it was obvious enough. 

The DRL went in smooth with a small amount of Silicone spray.

Blind spot mirrors
   

They allow you to see both front and back wheels although the front view is not great, it does work. 

They came from eBay, they are well enough made but I doubt they would survive in a city where people like to brush past your car.  I also doubt they will survive a tree or bush when off-roading.

Replied by rogerzilla on topic What did you do to your jimny today?
Took out the cage.  When the longer bolts and spacers arrive, I'll angle the bulkhead back clear of the seats.  About 40mm will do it (I bought M6 x 50mm bolts).The driving position will be spot on then.  I wanted to keep the cage but I couldn't quite get the seat right for longer journeys, my eyes tended to focus on it in the rear view mirror, and it made twisting round to reverse more difficult.

Update: bolts didn't come but I found some long M6 machine screws and used M8 nuts as spacers so I can drive the car in the meantime.  I needed six nuts to get a bit of clearance from the seat back, which is 38mm of spacers.

Broke down on the middle of the M4 bridge and waited on the side of the road for 3hrs. Guess I'm in the market for a new alternator.
