You mean pictures of the kit fitted or just the kit I bought mate?

My van is in the paint shop but I do have another HID kit here which came yesterday that I ordered for a friend.

I’ll get your some pics over shortly of the kit.
I called them regarding the reg plate bulbs and interior bulbs and they just posted them with my HID kit.

I've got these for the front interior light https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 ... UTF8&psc=1

Also you will need 2 of 41mm led festoon lamps. 1 for the front interior light and and 1 for the rear interior light (if you have it).
They make a big difference to the quality of the interior light at night.
Another Norfolk caddy owner? there are now a few of us knocking about.

Nope its a interior lamps link, well worth changing if you are doing lamps and stuff.
Other than led DRL's I've held off changing any other lights to LED's until the MOT is done.

I'm just up the road at Sprowston.

The lamps in the link and a 41mm festoon will do the the font roof interior light. There is 2 different styles lamps in the fitting, easy 5 min mod and makes a big difference over the oem lamps in there.

If you have a second roof light in the rear then a 41mm festoon lamp should sort that as well.

Not sure about the foot well lights as I've currently not got any, I would guess it would either be on of the 2 types of lamps as mentioned above.

Although I've had VW's before I'm pretty new to Caddies. I have seen somebody else suggesting a meet at some point which would be cool. I've got a few more bits going on with mine at the beginning of April so after then would be good.

Yes they give off even light mate and are very bright. The reason I go for the 6000k bulbs is because anything more and it give off a blue tint to the light.

Some people like that look but I’m not keen.

I’ll get some pics up when I get the van back then mate

You can get a the loom to do the footwell lights from a member on here. It's either in the electrical bit or how to.

Think the media button is sd card slot and aux. Not something I've checked out on my unit.

Yeah easy to do about 20 minutes work, message him on here, think the loom is £20 ish but don’t hold me to it plus you will need the lights.
