headlights: changed the side marker, side lamp and cornering lamp to LED. waiting for 6000K new halogen bulbs for main light. I thought of going LED but too much work dealing with the balast etc. New HID bulbs are much better than 10 years ago.
Added a brake and turn signal LED to rear diffuser. looks superfly.
changed rear turn signal lights to LED. no resistor needed but it took a while to find good LEDs that would fit without hyperflash and bulb error. left signal is LED so u can compare replaced 3 bulbs to LED. got rid of the orange side marker bulb diffuser LED strobe brake LED light on right
now working on rear brake/running to install strobe LEDs. when u hit the brakes, the lights flashes 3 times then go solid. having bulb error issues with this light (P21/5W). installed resistors but problem not going away.
Steve, what was the re-insulation process? Are we talking shrink wrap over the repaired wires, plastidip, electrical tape or did you do something else?
I had no shrink wrap available as it was too late to get some , so electrical tape it was .
My soul intentions was to simply de cloud my headlight lenses as vision was extremely poor , I had no idea that when I opened it up the wiring would be in such poor condition.
This weekend was a good one for the Jag. First, the battery was replaced, would not start on Thursday, put it on a 10a charger overnight, still wouldn't start on Friday. Purchased new battery and replaced it. Old battery was dated 10/2014 so it was time. Then over Saturday/Sunday we replaced the rotors with drilled and grooved ones from Stoptech and all new pads from Stoptech. Painted the rotors and put on new decals.
These are shots of my wheel change. I purchased the 20" Sentas damaged. A large crack in one and scuffs on all. Turned out there was more damage as the work went on. The repairs turned out great and the powder coat completed. I also did a ceramic coating on the all the wheels exterior and interiro. Now looking at a refurb of the wheel bolts and detailing on the wheel/tire combo.
Used Sonax rubbing compound with green pad on my polisher, then Sonax polish with blue pad and last Sonax Hardwax with black pad! Happy with the result! :-)
