    I've got to say that is one of the best looking Boxes I have ever seen. The front bumper tuck and look are astoundingly great looking, makes the car look like something out of the ordinary and if or when I have a box of my own I hope you wouldn't mind me stealin that idea :\

    Great work, keep it up and keep us posted!

    That is how you're supposed to jack it.

    Up and down.

      Turns out each item is two headlights in one box! So I did get 8 headlights by ordering 4. Yay for full spare sets.

        Tell me if yours seem unusually dull. I drove at night the other day, and they seemed really dim. May need an bulb upgrade, or relay. I am a afraid I am not well versed on electrical.

          You should do the headlight relay upgrade. It's not that difficult to do, and it makes a world of differance in boxes.
          I know someone else will comment further on this.


          Any updates??

            X2 on the headlight relays. Makes a whole world of difference. And it also keeps the headlight switch, and harness from burning up.

              I am going to do the headlight upgrade when the weather breaks a little. It looks as if the relay harness that I got for the quad headlight upgrade for Putter Project, might work for the CV as well. I might squeeze the 3G upgrade in there as well.

                I am not very familiar with electronics. How does one go about upgrading the relay? Or is there a website/link I could goto?

                    Thanks that pretty much clears it up. But in the drawing, which wire is being picked up from the starter solenoid?

                      That wire you install. It should be at least 12 ga and fused. This wire is what powers the headlights. You can also run it straight off of the +12v side of the battery.

                        I figured it out, but the drawing showed it coming from the starter solenoid, and it threw me. Basically same thing but different location, I am up to speed now. Thanks again.

                          it is a constant 12v.

                            Finally got HaVic out for some sun n speed. Beautiful day, and she purred like a kitten. So what did I do? Treated her like a dirty whore. Triple digits were seen, and she spent a bit of time side ways, erasing tires and growling like a jungle cat. Here's some beauty shots at a industrial park.
