Thanks man. Ill save them for you. Its JDM Toyota.

@ barncat I already widebodied the car so clearance is not an issue. I am running a 19 x 10 in front and a 19 x 11.5 in the rear.

@ robertrios I think the ISF rear is alittle too busy. I dont want the entire car from an ISF.

What front bumper did you use to re-contour yours?

Again thanks for the compliments. A little update on the car. Front is almost compete and working on the ISF fenders. Need to tig weld the fenders. For those that are curious what that front end is.. It comes off a 2012 Jaguar XJL with 2012 Mercedes R350 LED's.

This made Friday a little better.

Nice headlights! If you need the 06+ connectors and sockets for the signal lights let me know, I have a set of brand new ones I'm not using.

I still didn't try to connect yet but are they necessary to complete the headlight swap?

You need to splice in the new connectors to the existing harness to plug into the 06+ signal light sockets, the 02-05 ones won't work. My lights didn't come with the sockets so I bought those too, yours may have them already?

Note: Once I put on the new 06+ connectors, new 06+ sockets, new bulbs, my indicator lights flashed too fast. The wattage of the 06+ bulbs (3457A) is different than the 02-05 (7440) ones. I reverted back to the 02-05 connectors, sockets, and bulbs to get it working properly (glued sockets to housing). I have seen nothing on the internet to suggest that anyone else has ever had this issue, so I've assumed it's because my car is Canadian and we have DRL's wired in stock.....maybe it's slightly different. Peharps some other users can chime in.

This is looking really nice Will, love that front.
Looking forward to the finished job.

Any chance you may have taken some shots of your height sensors while it has been on the ramp?
My air install is done now, about to start the sensors tomorrow and thought I would ask the question. No probs if you haven't, but thought I would ask.

Best regards
Steve
