    Lightbulb VY SS ute saiplane

    hey everyone, currently in the process of making a few mods to my ute, and from where i removed my canopy my standard 'sailplane' i think its called is cracked.
    i was looking to take it off and replace it with the ss one with the led brake lights, but cant find one anywhere and dont really know what to search for.
    any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    The SS sailplane is a direct swap in, it's the wiring where it gets tricky. You have to feed a cable from the sailplane's location down to the driver side kick panel and wire it up there. I think it's about $70 for the plastic part, and $150 for the LED.

    I'm an electrician also, it was easy setting it up. From memory it's a blue wire with a red strip for the +ve and just bolt onto the chassis for the -ve. Don't get tricky attaching to black wires for the -ve, I tried that and I was getting abs errors everytime I pushed the brakes.

    you wire it into the brake loom which runs up under the door sill on the drivers side. PM me for wiring colours.

    I've got a sailplane on my ute, from ebay $400.

    If you are after just the standard one, Mine is in excellent condition I removed it from the ute to put the sailplane on. I only want $100 for all 3 pieces, no brake light in it but.

    I saw a maloo without a hard cover yesterday and it just didn't look right. It's a shame you live in TAS or I'd flog mine off to you as I took it off before I sold my S, and my SS came with one.
