Let There Be Light!

 Well at least headlight housings...

I tracked down some South American spec headlight assemblies for my Yagi. These were a major list item for me if I ever owned an FZJ80 Land Cruiser and I am so pleased that I managed to find a brand new set. I found these in Dubai!


I need to decide what to do for lights, but I am not in hurry on this one. I want to get it right. This is what it should look like once installed though.

I got the dimmer working! Installed new bulbs in the dash to improve visibility and get all the indicators working. I got all the switches and aux audio & power ports installed. I also shot the bezel with textured black topcoat so I could delete ...

 Stretching Our Legs in the Nevada Desert Desert landscape has some of the most unappreciated beauty in the world.
