Yeah, it's amazing how much of an effect the new headlights have - they just seem to brighten up the whole car. Very nice job, and I especially love the steelies with the centres painted black - always loved that look. And the KE30 bumper on the KE55 front looks excellent. :hammer:

A KE30 with square headlights will essentially look just like this blokes car. There is f@$k all noticeable difference in the bonnets unless you look close. I'd actually think it would look good with the hybrid 30/55 look.

 

For the reference, I'm pretty sure that Hilux headlights are the same as the KE55 headlights, which opens you up to alot of headlight styles (minitruck culture :lolcry:). I think the headlights that this guy has are called diamondbacks or something along those lines...

 

Anyway, bloody nice car mate :hammer:

 

Dan.

These headlights are available in round, YAY. I've ordered them and they'll be in the morning :hammer:

hehe yeah these headlights i bought from autobarn off the shelf and yeah they had round ones. I got these because they aint sealed beams like the originals which means if a globe fails ya don't have 2 change the whole beam. Plus ya can put bright white lights in 2 make the car look new at night 2.

what were those headlights worth each!?? they look really good!

$40 each

Buggar, AutObarn QLD is a rip off. But i'm sure many people already know that.

 

They charged me $48.00 each. :hammer:

 

And when i asked for my discount... they typed something in but no $ were subtracted from the price like usually. :lolcry:

I priced the paint from Ford and lol they said itll be $1730 for everything i need (paint, thinners, hardener etc) Fuked if I'm payin that money so i rang up paint mobile and the same stuff will be costin me a lil over $400. This weekend the cars gonna get stripped and were starting to sand back and repair rust and damage. Ill take pix to show the steps if yas want?

nice car mate i wish my yellow ke55 looked like that :lolcry:

Ok well ive completed all the repairs and the cars in high fill. Gonna start sanding back the guidecoat and spray it this weekend. YAY

So are those headlights the aforementioned Hilux lamps or specifically for ke30/55s? interested in a pair in the long run, the 55's lights aren't the best in the world at the moment

They are aftermarket. Try AutObarn for a pair.

Nice ride man, those headlights look hot!!!! Might have to invest in some for myself. I like the colour too, orange's my fav! Can't wait to see her when she's sprayed! keep up the good work

sorry guys i know ive been slack with posting pix but here are some progress pix.
