HIDs are now installed... here is a compassion of color difference.



I just have to replace those horrible bull bar lights and the LED/HID conversion is complete.... all of the other lights are LED or HID (including the spotlights)

Got the new tyres fitted... looks good IMO.

Tyres are 265/70/R17 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO on 17x8 +15 dynamic steel wheels.

Nice! How do they fit? Where did you get them?

[mick.wheelz Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close mick.wheelz]

some modification to the panel is required to get them to fit. but they fit OK...

i got them from https://otrattw.com/ they can do custom switches too.



they dont actually cover too much of the factory switches below... they are still easily usable.

Wired in my spotlights last night, they are now working fine. The relay situation is pretty sketchy though. (old relay I found in the shed held in with a zip tie, haha)

However, the spotlights are working and match the color temperature of the headlights (kind of a crappy pic but you get the idea)



I plan to buy some of these (relay with inbuilt fuse)

and some of these bases (click together with screw hole)

to have a little relay/fuse board for all of my switched circuits.

I also got my LED bull bar lights today, I will install these this afternoon.

Ummmmm, not 100% but I think the marker light (white) should be outside and indicator inside. Could be wrong, probably am, but it rattles a loose connector in my brain from looking through ADRs a while back when I changed mine on the 120. If you are interested.

ahh ok. The old ones had the parkers to the inside, so thats the way I put these ones in... Plus it kind of makes sense to me to have the indicators on the outside.

Regardless, if the cops pick me up on it i can easily flip them around so the parkers are on the outside.

LEDs are the way to go. I cannot believe how many times I dropped the guards off to change bulbs, and got an eye full of the beach in the process. Set and forget.
