Plans.

HID upgrade to make the most of the projector lights.
LED bulb upgrades, brake/tail, indicators, interior (cab), number plate light.
Stereo upgrade keeping the factory head unit, so adding a Audison Bit Ten, 5 channel amp, largest mids that will fit in the doors, replacement tweeters in the A pillars, 10" sub.

More to follow :)

Fitted the hid conversion, tbh it was dead simple, took less than an hour so not many pics.

This is the kit, http://www.hids4u.co.uk/h7-35w-ultimate ... n-kit.html I used the discount code STRATHY to get £17 off.
Before

Image

Changed bulbs for hids, added a little shrink wrap over the terminals to be safe.

Image

Cut the bulb cover to fit the grommet

Image

Difference

Image

And finished

Image

I'll pop to the mot place when I get a chance but the cut off is very good, the beam very even and no protests from other drivers......yet.

Dip beam

Main beam
