You can also get red led lights, you'll look like a mobile brothel.

In this cold weather, you could sell an awful lot of broth. :wink:

Hey Charlie2,

I have blue LEDs in my TXII... I replaced the standard bulbs in both the passenger compartment ceiling lights, for LEDs that come on a sticky-backed strip from Maplin's (6 in each light - white). I then added a toggle switch in the driver's cab, wired through the partition to the forward ceiling light, connected to some more of these LEDs - but this time in blue!

Assuming they don't change the URL, this should take you there!

They are £1.59 per portion of strip (which is 3 LEDs). They cut as much or as little off the roll as you want.

I then leave these blue LEDs on during night shifts, so I can see the passengers. I found a strip of 6 to be a little bright so I masked over 2 leaving 4 lit.


Hope this helps, darth.

P.S. I often see vehicles on here referred to as 'WAVs'... Makes me think of WAGs!! I always refer to them as what they are - PDVs (Parts Delivery Vans! :-) I know the TX ain't perfect, but at least it was designed from the factory floor up to be a TAXI. x
