My son has severe cerabral palsy and as the van is primarily for his use. I wanted to make travelling a sensory experience for him. I remember seeing a rolls Royce on Top Gear that used fibre optics and decided that's what I wanted for him.

This may well have been done before, so apologies, but thought I'd show how I eventually fitted LEDs in my step lights...it's pretty simple but I tried to do it in a way that I'll be able to finally forget about it without any worries, so thought I'd share :D

First of all, apologies @Dellmassive for hopping on your 'How I done It' threads but guessing you haven't copywrited just yet. By no means as comprehensive or well written as the 'master' himself but just my experience over the last few days with the disruption caused by storm Eunice.

I've waited a fair while to share this knowledge as I was doing a good trade in seat upgrades last year and, having refitted covers to 20-odd single seats, I'd learn some tricks of the trade.

I've got a bit confused having read a few posts on this. How do I change the steering wheel without getting an airbag warning light?
