[QUOTE="hoodedreeper, post: 798748, member: 3993"] A couple of updates from the past few weeks Dynodaze sent me their new single axis short shifter to fit and review [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52222205149_c817da0ca7_c.jpg[/img] [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52222205109_1601007d86_c.jpg[/img] I was lucky enough to find a new old stock Momo gear shifter, which timed well with the short shifter install [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52220927662_577fdbdce8_c.jpg[/img] [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52220927647_19749fdf13_c.jpg[/img] [MEDIA=youtube]sT5W1L5deP8[/MEDIA] The next mini project was to split a spare pair of headlights and fit some LED lights. Unfortunately I don't have photos for each step, but please check out the Youtube video at the end of the post I used 120mm and 90mm LED halos to go over the dipped and high beam bulb areas. The shape of the trim stopped the whole ring from being exposed, so I had to cut a slot into the side so the rings pass through. The rings were mocked up for position and to test [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52220927617_383c575484_c.jpg[/img] The inner trim/bezel were painted Ford Panther Black to match the interior parts I painted [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52222205004_816881938b_c.jpg[/img] [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52222421050_30e689f75c_c.jpg[/img] [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52222421290_76befc796b_c.jpg[/img] I used 0.4mm wire to hold the rings in place. Its thin enough to bend/twist and also thin enough to be barely visible through the lens. To finish the build, I installed some 450mm LED sequential strips. These now replace the sidelight and indicator bulbs. The indicator lens was painted to help blend it in. The lenses were treated to a refurb.
