It would make storage a hell of a lot easier.

Just make sure you remember where you put them. Wouldn't be much use to you if you only had 1 half.

Also cut off the damaged extension panel under the right tail light to clean in there, might as well as that area needs to be pulled back out and a new panel fitted. I have a pair of NOS ones and even the panel that tail light mounts to as well.

Just picked up good deal on a NOS in box VN-VR v6 cruise control module with cable for a nice $75 postage included on gumtree.

Now both VPs have NOS units and cables and also have a left over ecotec cable if I ever go down that path.
