That looks so good Gary. I like it glad you went with the clear indicators. Very nice. When you turn the indicators on does it effect the brightness of the light?

If you don't mind me asking what did the retro fit cost you? And what was the turn around time? I can't have my car off the road at all with missing headlights.

$1,400 delivered on a group buy, the group buy is still going on now..
Basically you don't take your lights out until your new ones are ready to be fitted..
He uses aftermarket headlights, you keep your genuine lights..

Bit of a update, got a safari snorkel put on today by ARB, came out perfect!
I bought a steel tray as well but undecided weather or not I'm going to use it, mainly bought it as a platform to build onto.:

Ive got a set of those headlights, and they've been nothing but dramas, continually breaking in the post. I brought them about 4 months ago, and still haven't even been able to fit them, hardly impressed with the build quality at this point, Will most probably have to rip the projectors out and put them in my own genuine headlights the way things are going.

Not sure mate, I can't remember what the factory steps even looked like, sliders were one of my first mods!

Mine were the genuine headlights with projectors fitted, they weren't eBay specials.. Micks Hid built them, the quality of his workmanship is second to none.. I paid $1,400 for them, the eBay specials for $300/$400 are rubbish.


Anyway for updates, nothing really much happening with the Hilux lately, it's been sitting in the garage for a month now and I haven't driven it..

Might take it up to Queensland next year and get a hks computer fitted...

Next on the list tho is definitely dual batteries, will also be getting a Arb canopy soon, still trying to convince myself why it's work 3k..

G'day! She's performing perfectly, always done as told!
Not sure if they extended the brake lines, I extended them anyway and went braided in blue to match the coils.. All up cost me around the $4.500 mark..
Won't be getting a 295/70/17 next time tho or such an aggressive tread pattern, with both lockers she makes hard tracks look easy..
