I'm not sure how I'm ending up with so much time between posts here but you'd think that was because I was spending so much time in the garage... Or things are just taking longer and longer to do.

So it's time to start fitting the lights to get all the holes drilled pre painting.

First up, headlights.

These 7" lights used to be on Minis, Landrovers and others. This is the modern version which takes an H4 halogen bulb. Should be ok, there are varying degrees of quality with H4 bulbs so  if the supplied ones aren't much good I'll get the good ones. High intensity discharge (HID) lights which is what modern high end cars have need self levelling devices etc. Not needed here.

And fitted - pretty easy to fit the mounting bowl, and then light into the adjuster set up and then press the outer ring on.

The headlights will need their aim adjusting before IVA but that will depend on ride height etc.

And with indicator and other headlight too. 

And bringing up the rear...

With a partially completed one to show the back of the light and how it needs to fit into body.

Now all the lights are on its time to start sorting out the rest of the wiring loom to get them lit!
