OK, I FINALLY got round to fitting my LED reflectors I got from cs2000. Was it easy, hell NO! Nothing to do with Chris's reflectors - they're great, more to do with 97,000 miles and 9 years of cr*p and corrosion building up on each of the bolts I needed to undo to get the bumper off. Combine this with the very limited space, rounded heads, sheared off bolts, rain, blown fuses and Nissan's 'Top Secret' third fuse box tucked away behind the battery, under the windscreen, plus freezing cold fingers and grazed knuckles a simple job turned into a 3 day nightmare.
But anyway, after finally completing the install (I extended the wires a bit and added some male/female bullet connectors to make removing the bumper easier in future if needed and also changing the sidelight bulbs for LEDs) I thought I'd go take some night shots in the peeing rain and howling wind. Well, I figured the reflections on the wet ground would be nice....
Had my nightmare finished and was I now able to stand back and admire my new LED reflectors. Yes. Right up until the wind blew over my camera on its tripod and broke it (the camera). The above were the last two photographs my camera ever took
But on a positive note, I fitted some carbon bonnet dampers earlier today too
