Engine bay

Looks really good!
Need to do mine too.:-)
A clean engine bay gives you less problems I think.

What have you done with your headlights? I can see the flexible led strip which I bought myself but they didn't iluminate enough but you seem to have changed the high beam light? Is it twin low beam or are they still high beam? Better light?

What have you done with your headlights?

It's a full four beam hi/lo bi-xenon set up. I swapped out the original 3" projector for a bi-xenon unit, then added an aftermarket bi-xenon main.

It gives me four dip and four main beams, and yes, it's very bright! The dip beams are brilliant, with a really sharp cut-off, the MOT man was very happy with them.

At the moment I've got LED bulbs in the "main beam", as they don't draw as much current as xenons, and are also instant start, so flash works fine.

It took a fair bit of head scratching to get the wiring and relay spot on, but all seems good so far. I've also got LED side lights in, which are hidden by the projector unit, but give a lovely white glow when switched on.

The flexible LED DRLs are OKish, but not really bright enough, maybe back to the drawing board on that, I've got a few ideas....

I'l get some pics/video when it gets dark

Should give an impression of what they're like, I will get a video of them on a dark lane at another time, it's just started raining....
