You are both well beyond my automotive and electrical abilities. I only wish I could do stuff like this.Ishkabibble wrote:Wow, Mel... Ambitious. I simply don't know if I have the guts or motivation to take on a job like that.
Truth be known, I'm really worried about my ability to get everything put back together properly after I take the headlight out.
It occurred to me that I just might try ordering a European or Asian headlight assembly (empty, of course) and swap them out so that I don't have the front apart any longer than I have to. I just don't know if I have the skill or ability to do the complex job, so I've subconsciously put it off.
Adding running lights and things like that aren't major to me. Fiddling with the stock headlight assembly, well that's another animal entirely.
Incidentally, I put blue lights in the empty sockets beside the headlight, although I can't recall off the top of my head if I was able to access them and did it myself or if I had the shop do it (very affordable in Thailand), as it was a couple of years ago that I did it. If my memory serves me correct, I was able to replace the headlight bulb, but it was quite difficult reaching in there. I believe I may have posted a "How To" on it.
BTW ... technically the blue lights do not conform to legal standards, but being Thailand, what isn't ignored can typically be looked after with a $3 (100 baht) "payment".
