My auxbeam led headlights came in the other day. I wet with the f16 series for both the low beam 9006 type and high beam 9005 type. I must say they are a huge improvement over the stock headlights

stock headlights
Led (passenger) vs stock (driver) side by side


Both leds installed

Sorry for the crap pictures.

My kenwood head unit was delivered this morning. Test fitted it on my lunch break now to figure out the wiring for it. I have both the metra wiring harnesses the 70-8112 and the 70-1761.

It's been quite some time sense I've posted on here. The car hasn't changed much just a few small thing here and there, had the ecu rebuilt, swapped out my low beams housings for ones that where in better shape
is300 steering wheel and painted wood trim
And started gather what I need for my cd009 swap Cd009 from a 2006 350z
Toyota supra mk4 clutch pedal assembaly

An auto brake pedal that i cut down but found out the limb will be really close to the clutch pedal limb and there may be a posibily of my foot hiting brake limb when i press the clutch so i went ahead and ordered a oem 5 speed brake pedal so i wobt have any issues
Oem 5 speed shifter bezel and boot. The boot needs to be replaced
Dakota digital speed interface sgi-5c to get the speedo working again after the swap is complete. From what i here you can tap into the abs sensor to get signal and calibrate it to het the proper mph on the dash butni have not been able to find any write ups on doing this so of any one has done this and info would be great. I still need to get the swap kit from collins adapters, clutch master cylinder , fluid and probably a few other thing that I'm forgetting about hopefully soon be able to dive into getting this swap done but it will most like be a winter project when the car is put away

Looks like a lot of fun ahead. I, like most, will likely be heading down that path as well. Have fun doing what your doing and try to keep us updated, especially for those like me, who will be doing what your doing. What model is that Kenwood?

thanks man! The Kenwood is the ddx773bh.
I should be ordering the kit for the trans swap here soon. Then gathering the last few things it will probably be a winter project if I can find a place to put the car for the winter and be able to work on it. I'm going to try and do a detailed write up of the prosses
