    My new Dapper Lighting LED headlights have two driver modules and a pretty complicated harness with connectors that needs to fit in the headlight bucket. The stock bucket isn't deep enough to accommodate everything so I cut the backs of them off, and cut another pair of buckets I had to make them deeper. I also re-wired the harness to make it a little more compact and eliminated some big connectors. I was going to weld the buckets back together, but after putting everything in behind the headlight I decided it would be a lot easier to work on them in the future if I connected the two pieces with hoses. I bought some 108mm silicone hose that works perfectly. I also added a 5-pin weatherpak connector. This will make it a lot easier if I ever have to change the headlight bulb. The white halos will come on with the ignition as DRLs, and they will flash amber when the turn signal comes on. The headlights are projectors so they have a shutter in them for low beam....I like the modern look with the classic glass.

          I've spent most of the past several weeks working on interior stuff, and on the Montana house. But I did get some more assembly done.

          I have installed the hood but it still needs adjustment after I get the other fender on. I'm hesitating on it because I've still been having some issues with the brake pump. I will need to get it installed so I can get the car down to Javier's shop for carpet.

              Hey CN, That's some bad ass stuff, I hope you get to drive it very soon . Is that a power antenna ?

              Thanks Sid

                yes it’s a power antenna. Some guys delete the antenna but I’ve read the hidden ones don’t work well and I like having a radio. I wanted to keep all the stock stuff on the car but upgrade them. I had to make some custom parts to make it work.
