How do you mean Pow? That shot is just resting in the cavity, bonnet open etc. no screws.

Will hopefully get it all in tomorrow. Going to depend how well I can aim them though

Ahh goodo - looks a little recessed compared to the indicator. Looks cracking though.

Yeah indicator isn't in, it's all literally resting in there just to take a quick snap whilst I was fiddling with wires

I reckon they'll look a million times better with the bonnet shut and the indicator in properly.

I like them already anyway.

Right I am getting fed up with this car


Headlights are in, but encountered a massive issue. The reason it didn't look right from the photos is the projector isn't sitting correctly. This is down to the mounting frame and I can't figure out wtf is up with it.

Here you can see what I mean!


Looks much better from this side! It's sitting perfectly.




Close ups:




Needs more work, which means taking the drivers side out and trying to figure out wtf is wrong. I just can't see why it sits like that!

Lights are all aimed and in now. Was the frame sitting at a weird angle that was the issue.

Now I have a new issue lights are backfire ding and specifically turning on or off.

Seems I "need" bulb canbus error cancellers as well ordered!

They work 99% of the time first time. Soon as I switch them off then on, get one of them not working and instruments go all electricky

Cleaned up the earths, seems a tad better. But not eliminated!

Ben it has no roof so wind is an occupational hazard.
