Dad will be sorting out the electrics for me, he's an electrical engineer so knows what wire rating and boxes that are required. All I'll be doing is the monkey work of installing everything else.

Certainly will Tony

Okay so today, only managed to fit the OE clear side repeaters and white door mirrors. Makes it look less dated.

And then fitted a new air filter and fuel filter.

Tomorrow will be busy, need to work on dads truck this time and solve the intermittent over heating issue he has. If there is any time left over tomorrow/Sunday then I'll be cutting and installing the square lights upfront as well as a bit of shortening of the mud flaps.

Okay so today was pretty busy. Had the underside of dads truck off to sort out the overheating issues by flushing the whole system forwards and backwards. Touch wood it's now staying where it should be on the temp gauge so problem solved.

Tomorrow I'll be underneath taking the old CV boot off and replacing it. Was the only thing that failed dads MOT.

So sooner we get that done, the better.

Now, onto my truck. Today I managed to complete the headlamp conversion in a couple of hours despite people on the Pajero forum saying that it couldn't be done and that the only way possible was to dismantle the entire front end (bumpers and all) and replace the entire front panel. Which let me tell you, is huge.

So anyway, here are some self explanitory photos

Dont worry, I did dress and treat the cut out ^ Didn't leave it like that

And then the same on the other side

Winning

the result is a much wider beam spread and intensity and also makes the truck a lot less dated and more civilised.

good work dan i assume they will all adjust ok come mot time

they look good but tbh i prefer the sunken round lights, but if these perform better then worth doing

Yeah They're pretty level as they are, but they do have lots of X and Y adjustments on the back.

They do perform a lot better then those bloody candles

Confident stuff Dan; nice to see you getting stuck in. Get yourself one of those funky sump guards

They look pretty good Dan. Still prefer the others but if they work better then it's ace.

Cheers Stu, have to say this is the most balls out I've been with the jap vehicles. But it's a right hoot.

Now you say that, I prefer the OE one over the JAOS. But who knows, may have a summer and winter sump guard like Gareths bonnet

EDIT: lol and speak of the devil

Thanks Gareth, the difference is just so noticeable
