Finished installing my new headlights with angel eyes or halo which ever you prefer.
So I hooked it up with my new battery and these are the first signs of life I got.

A lit empty tank which kept illuminating even when I pulled out he key. Note I have a special auto sender unit.... Here that light is not supposed to work

Image

when I hit the light switch things got nicer
The instrument cluster fully with LED.
Image

Side marker LED
Image

And the halo headlights... With HID bulbs
Image
The halo get the power from the marker lights while the HID get power straight from the battery having an in between relay give the command over the stock switch.

unLEDaded?
Not my Delorean :)

Tried my LEDs on my read lights and they were getting a lazy light out. Some were even shimmering like stars...
Time to refurbish those tail lights and revive the circuit boards
Image

First drilled tiny holes right over the point the harness connector clips on
Image

Then welded the wire edges onto the corresponding connection..
Image

Wiring for the rear
Image

the end effect....
Full blast clean light
Stop
Image

Tail light
Image

and reverse
