Interior

Postby Zoom4Life » Sat Jan 17, 2009 9:14

Here are some pics from the interior conversion. The front lights are very bright so I only keep the rear lights on when opening the door. Also Upgraded the foot lights in the door and license plate bulbs.

Lol those front lights on my car I just took the bulbs out. Got sick of looking at that horrible "halogen" glow.

Yea I have the McCulloch 8000k kit. Was a little over $200 and they now ship that kit with the "slim" style ballasts; gives you many more options as to where to mount it.

Well it was kinda of a pain but it was pretty straight forward. The stock harnesses aren't a direct 'plug-n-play' with the McCulloch kit. I had to splice some wires here and there and make my own connections using quick disconnects fround at Ace, Home Depot, Pep Boys, etc. Reverting back to stock would probably take a little time. But the HIDs make a world of difference when driving. They light everything up like a christmas tree.
