Hi guys

Where in Johannesburg can I buy LED globes for my SFA today? :beg:
I would like to change the dome light, brake lights, as well as the dash lights.

Saw all the awesone products on the 4x4 shop, but they're in Langebaan?

Will post pics before during and after :thumbup:

Re: looking for a good hilux mechanic

This guy helped me out a few times.

Kelvin: 0833619761.
Yesterday he did my timing chain for me. Didn't kill me on labour. I bought the spares, (he went with me), and did the job at his place.
