White numbers on a silver background...kinda hard to make out the readings.



Hey, didnt you tell somebody in another thread that their instrument cluster was hard to read? Now you're saying, "No need to Sharpie the needles".

Now I'm the one who's .

I bought the projector/halo headlights off ebay (Ebay member parasitesingle) and then did my own mod.... they were designed for the halogen setup, but I took them apart and fitted my OEM xenon projectors and self-leveling motors in place of the halogen projectors. All the fittings lined up and they bolted right in. The only issue is that I haven't been able to get the halos to light up. (It's possible that I may have damaged them or the ballasts during the baking process....still working on that)

The interior is almost done! I did the gauge rings and finished the interior trim today. The only thing left is the stereo upgrade and possibly silver gauge overlays.... Here are some shots I took this evening;

Man.....It's been a while since I have been on here......busy as our Wedding is coming up on Aug 7th!!!

Lets just say that I am glad that I did all of my mods when I did.........whwew!! Weddings are expensive......at least the show we are putting on is.....

Since the future Mrs. RR has my check book in her clutches.....my modding has been minimal..then again ...I really cant think of anything else to do.......but I did just pull the trigger today on the full 2watt interior led upgrade in hyper white!! SHHHHHH!! By the time she realizes I did it it will be after the honey moon in Aruba!! LOL!

Pics to follow!!

Rich
