Drove home and saw my HID conversion lights sitting on the front porch. Slapped them in in about 7 minutes and spent the next 1.5 hours trying to get them adjusted correctly. It's tough living in the country on a hilly curvy road with out a flat driveway or a flat spot in front of a wall. They're close enough for now. I'm going to need more time before I properly upgrade the wiring harness with relays.

I found a new bone yard about 30 minutes from my house. He didn't have a lot but I found some silicone headliner bins from a CJ and a couple wiring harnesses... too bad I was looking for the headlight trim!

Ha when I did my HD wiring harness I had to adjust my hella ecodes several times before they were right because of the same reason. Finally got them good and adjusted by using the level of the beam of light that was on the cars infront of me. Got it so good that it's crisp under the rear window and I see everything brighter now

Finally done working on my new HID setup. I'm now running Morimoto Mini Bi-Xenon D2S Projectors w/ Clear Lens Upgrade from The Retrofit Source, 35 Watt Ballasts, and 5000k bulbs.... Daylight Anyone?

Wow that's really weird because that bumper is not only made for serious hitting things, it's pretty heavy aswell.


Let me know when you want to take it off and put a different bumper on. I'll help ya as long as I get the ARB

That's because Australian law requires that aftermarket bumpers attach in the same way as OEM.

I'm sure they look at our weird crash laws and say "WTF, mate?"
