		<title>Number plates for your American car</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here in the UK, the authorities try to restrict the purchase of number plates to only specialist suppliers they can monitor in true Big Brother style. They want certain sized fonts and often a postcode at the bottom of the manufacturer. Who wants that? Big daft fonts designed to fit on standard rectangle number plates squeezed onto small plates?

A few years ago there used to be a company called “States Plates” that used to make up my pressed aluminium style plates. They went bust in the last recession.]]></description>

		<title>New Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) Test Information and Forms.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The government has made a great job of hiding the forms also. They will no doubt keep moving them, so you can find them on the IVA Forms Page right here.

Old SVA certificates are valid from 18 months from the date of issue in theory, but you cannot use them after October. If you have a car that got an SVA certificate, make sure you use it before October and it wasn’t issued more than 18 months ago.]]></description>

		<title>How to do the light conversion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, you have your car, you have all the parts, now you want to actually do the work. Expect it to take between one and two days to make a nice job of it. I have not bothered to note the colours of the cars wires feeding this and that, as if you are doing this job, I expect you are familiar enough with a 12v tester to be able to identify them anyway. 

I am also not going to go into great detail about where you should route individual wires, you will find your own way that suits you.]]></description>

		<title>Parts Shopping Check List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Assuming you are performing the light conversion using Euro Tail Lights and Angel Eye Headlamps as I recommend (the easy way) on this site, it might be useful to do a double check of the things you are likely to need. 

The vast majority of items can be had by mail order, the advertisers on this site will be as good a source as any.The internet tends to make suppliers of this kind of stuff quite competitive as they know you onlya  mouse click away from another supplier who is maybe cheaper than them]]></description>

		<title>Fog Light Wiring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some people (on a V8) modify the front fog switch wiring to operate the rear fogs. I prefer to tamper with the original wiring as little as possible, so I fit a new switch. (V6 cars do not have a fog switch anyway so you have no choice but to fit a new one in that instance.)

You need an illuminated switch. It should be visible from the driving seat ideally in order to pass a test. I use an after market one and site it near the regular light switch.]]></description>

		<title>About Back EMF Protection Diodes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Observe that one end has a silver stripe on it, that is to ensure you fit it the correct way around. It is imperative they are fitted the correct way round. 

The diode goes between 1 and 5 on your Omron relay bases, bridging between the only feed from the SJB (being the light you have tapped from) and ground - with the black end of the diode going to the Nr 1 ground terminal.  Put another way, black end to earth, silver stripeend to switching live from the light you tapped from. ]]></description>
