I really enjoyed reading all that. I'm convinced you must be a writer of some description by trade, if not you should be !

Lovely TD5 by the way, nice to see you're enjoying the 'process' Laughing

That's very kind windy! Very Happy glad to see my GCSE in English is reaping some rewards. I'm very pleased with it, though it seems nearly every mod I have done so far has had its own set of nuances. Certainly learning heaps.

It's been a little while since I posted last about Dwayne. Namely because I haven't really found much I'd like to upgrade with my current funds and I've just enjoyed being rattled about and spending way too much money on Diesel.

Christmas rolled around and I was surprised with a new set of LED headlights and sidelights. My OCD means I was never quite happy with the LED bumper but halogens so I wanted to complete the set. These are from Powerful UK. I genuinely can't believe it - an upgrade to dwayne that has actually gone as planned. I had the old headlights whipped out, and the new ones in within an hour. For information - I used a scotchlock to splice the angel eye into the sidelight connector.

I really like them, the headlights are nice and crisp. For anyone wanting some WIPAC crystals I'll be putting mine up for sale soon (by for sale I mean basically given away). I'm also in 2 minds about the spots .... might take them off - what do people think.

Thanks Clayton! Was a pleasant surprise that for the first time since I've had dwayne that an upgrade has actually gone to plan.

I'm erring towards removing the spots, and maybe putting a different grill on. I really like the look of the A-bar though so I think I will keep that. Given I now use the LED bar in place of a main beam the spots don't add a huge amount of practicality.
