I have ordered from ebay some repeater holders and led lights to replace the orginal ones due to not having a metal panelled car so earthing issues

The metal one was the original one and you can see it only has a live connector as the earth was to the side part that 'plugged' into the repeater that in turn is screwed into the body of the car, making the earth. On a fibre glass car we can't do this, so initially I soldered a wire to the outside surface of the metal holder, but in general this didn't create an effective circuit. also didn't look right, so scoured the internet for an alternative and came across a modern part that fits well even though it is all a little longer. This gives me 2 plugs to attach to and will work perfectly.

BTW the repeaters are from http://www.okp.de/xtc2/Ferrari/55-Li...ia::17882.html
