:shock: It should be... \"Changed my dash lighting! Blinkers also fixed, that was only a relay.\"

Looks great! :D

Incidentally, where's the relay located for the indicator? I'm still having issues with my rear demister, and I don't think it's a cable fault at the demister end of things. Was thinking of getting in to the relays for it, but don't really know where to look.

Thought it may have been there. When it was at it's "intermittent" stage of half working half not, I could always hear the relay clicking on/off from about that area.

Will need to get in under there and have a play when the opportunity arises.
