Hi Wayne

Pretty sure rares have the rubber tube thingies for the wiring

If you want to have even more fun with them you could do a Lucas lens onto H4 reflector transplant - looks stock but a huge improvement and easy to do. Jimmy did that in his EK and now has them in his HR Prem, and plans doing it again when his new projetc EK is finished.
