just bought myself some of these too... they have an lsd ring around the outside of the high/low headlight.. looks like pic below when fitted...

could use yellow led for indicators or as i'm gonna do, use the white led for parks...

I had to replace an ARB switch and they were about $10 plus GST from autokraft (that was without the switch cover)

must depend where you go? Tony's told me that they didn't do the insurance thing on 4wd tires when i got mine. Though they weren't happy at the price i made them beat lol. What made you pick the mtrs? I run them now and am very happy with them but some people really dont like them. I have found for the price they are a good tire and one of the best muds i have driven on road.
