Or should I just leave it to them. The cable on the front light is to short as it will be moved up to the handle bar. Its annoying me as I don't want to buy stuff and not use it.

The SON coax is neater and more durable than basic fig-8 cable that a bike shop would usually use if left to their own devices.

The SON rear light comes with a cable installed, but you've got to fit the plugs for the headlight end (according to the Q&A on the SJSC site below).
On the whole, I prefer a full-size rack light to the SON - B&M Toplight Line, or Spanninga Elips, or similar. A reflector is technically compulsory, and more awkward if you've used the normal mounting position with a non-reflector light.

The Edelux front is available with a 140 cable if the 60 cm cable is too short, but again, you've got to fit the plugs.

When plugging the coax in, the white/translucent side is live, and the black side is ground/earth, both ends.

Thank you very helpful i have been using sjs as they answer questions. Quickly and accurately. But it doesn't mean I know what they are talking about!
I always get the shop to do it I am lazy. I was going to buy the 5metre cable.
But decided on

I need to move the light to the handle bars as the rack is interfering with the light. Obviosly the cable will be short. So will have to buy more so they can joint together or preferably rewire?
So? Need longer cable say 1.5 metres and correct ends?
I will look into lights. I have battery one on the rack at the moment with built in reflectors. Its large as well. I will look at your suggestion for the rack light. As I don't need to use the son ones.
Thanks and could you help with the last bit. I doubt they have 1.5 metres so may have to buy 5 metres.
Just thought different rear light different fittings?
