I did away with my 8000k hid headlights and fog lights

I installed GTR Lighting led 9008/h13 and 9145/h1058A96681-6BA4-4569-9387-9D8C702B5CD7.jpeg A0FD1B97-B782-481A-B196-98FCD86C5F6A.jpeg 06A4E740-0C11-40D0-9863-1EF0DA384338.jpegF12CE947-9CE1-4D68-81CC-852902326512.jpeg

So I have several things else to do, a body kit and paint job next, but everyone is 3 to 4 months before I can get it done



So I will be posting more pics as I get things done and installed

Are you replacing the hood and hatch or attempting to mitigate the corrosion and painting them?

Substantial overhaul going on. Always great to see someone make a vehicle exactly what they want it to be.
