they turned out ok, like 7 out 10, but much much better than they were before

thanks V40T4R, slowly but surely it's coming along nicely Lets keep up where I left, after I had my wheels refinished I load them up and take them to the tire place I bought some Toyo's DRB in 205/55R16, I know that it isn't the right factory size, but that size is shared with a lot of cars, and it's a lot cheaper than the 205/50R16 that the factory claims out with the old in with the news and OMG does it looks good :O a few days later, this arrived on the mailbox and now I had completed the look also in the mail was the headlight cover, ever since I bought the car it had a missing cover but no more, such a tiny detail but makes everything looks better and thats for now

Excellent work. It's the little things that count and now your headlight unit is complete and how it should be.
Wheels look well.

Great work on your V40 to bring it back to it's best!
If you need another handbrake insert let me know. We can work something out for just the postage cost from UK. |

Yay! triplets! the more the better ----- Now a little history, I used to had a 94 Corolla, and I had updated the headlights to the JDM model, and after that I had bought some projectors to retrofit on those headlights but never got arround that and the projectors just sit there but not anymore, since I have the V40 I've never been impresed by it light output, so I remembered that I had the projectors laying arround, so... hands on with that, off goes the head light (I've mastered the art of remove the headlight without removing the bumper) a few seconds after that I had the headlight on the bench and cracked open as you can see my reflector was badly damaged and I think that is why my light output was so bad Put some latex gloves in order to not leave greasy finger marks on the shinny parts you can clearly see the greasy marks and after a little cursing, it was fitted. It actually wasn't that bad, just need to take things with calm. The wires that you see, are for the high beams, but I won't be using them (for now, that's why I didn't cut them) I had to buy some new H1 bulbs for the projectors, but I kept the original wiring of the car, I just had to disamble the connector and re route the cables. After I had the projector assambled I went and did a trial fit and a little testing Since everything worked as it should, I took the lights out of the car and assambled them yet again, and put them on the car and tight everything I didn't took any before picture, but you have an after shot, and you have to trust me that the light is much much better And that was the update for now
