think i'll just get an electrician mate , any idea how much you think it'd be for someone to come and do this ? seeing as i have all the parts already is it fairly cheap or? like ballpark figure?
no worries man, thanks for your help i'll def get it checked out just dont understand how theyre in use if theyre taped up.. i get they carry electricity but their use isnt being harnessed is what im saying? just kinda wanna understand it for myself aha
