the wild started when I bought some 19" Alloys from Lexusboy and started thinking about them and some Abflug arches... This part of the project hoping to be finished for JAE in September.

Today with the help of Rabster.. " Thankyou Andrew, truly appreciated" Some LEds and some custom lighting was installed. As well as twin fans wired and running in the engine bay...
We started by wiring up the red 1.2mm thick running lights under the centre panel and wiring in the leds inside the refecters as well. next was the leds hidden inside the engine lid for braking, which are aslo tied in with the strobes hidden in the red triangles..

On the front a dual led was fitted where the indicators would normally be. this allowed for a bright HID addition to sidelighting, however, when you indicated or obviously used hazards they then flashed Amber...

The V6 is a Likwid art badge which has a chrome backing, so it reflects all light, looking like its lit up.

Great lighting mods there mate. Gonna look sick with those arches fitted too.
Love the KITT thing going on under the engine cover with the chasing LEDs.

That's what I like to see, hard work and originality. No danger of you pulling up behind anyone else with a setup like that...:thumbup:

Marsdendean Looking good, but are the flashing alternate red on the rear legal, or is it only blue . . . . .
They are illegal because they don't stop flashing after a couple of seconds. But i have a switch, so i can turn them off anytime
