Wired these up today, I think they need some LED's now.


Also acquired a new seat. The back one out of dad's 01 Powerstroke. He has some 08 King ranch seats to put in it so I'm going to put the tracks off mine on this seat and run it. The cupholders and arm rests are going to be nice lol

Picked up some SEM interior paint from the body supply store today and I'm very pleased with how my shoulder belts and door arm rests turned out

Wiring harness came today! First impressions are pretty good, has everything I expected it to have, plus some extras.

Since theretrofitsource.com was having a 4th of July sale I ordered parts to build my new headlights while I'm going through the electrical system. Going to be putting together an all black set of morimoto D2S projectors, it'll hopefully have a very sinister look when completed.

Those are nice and they fit the standard ring and housing .. You have to run relays with them also right?

No the control box with them is its own relay, and runs the HID bulbs directly off the battery. So that kills two birds with one stone.
