Added stainless steel alternator and belt tensioner covers. The sun was pretty bright, so the pics aren't the best.





Did a half azz job on a euro tail light conversion. I will wait to decide if I want to install the two center lights. I kinda like it like this. What are your opinions?

Looks good. But you might want to make sure the taillights work OK - you are supposed to clip a white wire under the driver's dash to make them work right and not sure if the stock lights will function properly like that.

Thanks for the input. The brake lights and turn signals work OK, but the amber light doesn't work.

The white euros look good with your color

To get the lights to work independently you need the full mod. There's a harness that separates out the stock sockets into separate pigtails for the stop/tails and the turn signals. To make them work independently you have to snip a wire under the kick panel at the drivers side.

Here's the link to the How To. You can also get the harness for $50 at PFYC.
