#34: Re: Obsidian Black verve! (Updated 8/4/13) Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Tue Apr 09, 2013 1:52 pm ---- IIRC, some stalks dont have the button but you can remove the top and fit the spring and a button to make it work because the stuff is there underneath?? Really from the top of my head but remember someone doing something like that years ago
#35: Re: Obsidian Black verve! (Updated 8/4/13) Author: Sarahsmith123, Location: selsey,chichesterPosted: Tue Apr 09, 2013 3:22 pm ---- I think i might just leave that for a while.. And stick to the "easy" mods

Some you can just pop the end out & fit the button type as the electrical bits are already hidden inside.

Fitted my 8000k hids this morning. Took a quick picture. But will take one when its dark.
#42: Re: Obsidian Black verve! (Updated 10/4/13) Author: LloydPug206, Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2013 6:15 pm ---- H guys sorry to interrupt but yes you should be able to add spring and button to the end. You need to prise the cap off that's on there now and use a cocktail stick to poke down an try to find a tiny contact switch inside. You'll know which one as its a little bit springy. Fit the PPT 40 display and give it a poke and the mpg and trip details should scroll on screen. Now just find and fit the spring button end and you're away...
#43: Re: Obsidian Black verve! (Updated 10/4/13) Author: James206.52, Location: DesboroughPosted: Fri Apr 19, 2013 7:27 am ---- Can you link me to where you got the HID kit from and bulbs?! looks a beast!
