Actually they are working mate..including the dash light. However, the front ones ...no go.:(

Hi mate, well the back fog light are working( i think) but the fog light doesn't light up on my dash. I will double check when I get home. What other fuses I would need to check and are they located.

That was the first thing I checked. :). poss two fuses?their is on some toyotas Damn it ...I knew it!!!! What 2 fuses mate? There is one in the passenger side (inside the car) ...where is the other one?

Yep, the front ones I talking about. I've checked mine and the are in a good condition.

That was the first thing I checked. :).

Well, I replaced the light bulbs, I replaced the relay as well, I've checked for any short or anything ..nothing. Any thoughts? Twilight Zone? POltergeist ?:)) I am getting really fustrated with this .... What else is out there that I can check and make sure is working?

WOW mate, that looks great. I am actually looking in getting one of these soon. i will probably still need my Lexus but the "convince wife that this is what we really need" process has started. But your one is just really nice. \

I will have to finish the little bits and pieces I've covered in Cf first.:))

Today, I put them on the car...they look briliant. Tomorrow big day for the CF bits left ...sanding day. :duh: I will see what comes out off my hands. Hopefuly something much better.

C'mon mate ...do it. Or I can do it for you...

Thanks mate...

Mate, I think that was me ...guilty.

Nah mate, this is the real deal..carbon fibre deal. I was looking to get something like that before but I think it woul've look a bit chavy so I choose real carbon fibre. You can buy different skinning kits of the net or like me , go to a place that sells carbon fibre and get everything that's required: carbon fibre woven, resin, hardner, gloves, sand paper(different grades, plastic containers (I bought 10 of them ), brushes (depending on the size of the surface) and patience. To apply the cf woven is quite easy(make sure you're wearing gloves and a mask if needed). then apply several coats of resin every 7-8 hours. I did 3 coats and is more than enough. After that you wet sand it with different grades of sand paper (from 100 to 1500) and when you're happy with part you can give it good quality laquer over it(2 or 3 coats will do just fine) and then get ready for a buff. Voila ...done. Depending on the time you working on them it should take you like 3 or 4 days. I recommend you to have a look on YouTube to different skinning video clips as they would tell you the entire process. Make sure that you use the specified by the seller quantities for the resin and hardner otherwise will end up wasting the materials and like me ... with a melted plastic cup.:)) funny moment.... Instead of using the laquer at the end you can use some sort of special paste for polishing but that will not be as protective as the laquer.(some laquers have UV protection.) Good luck.

Part 3 And we're quite close to the end of it. I will post more pics soon. What do ya reckon?>

Yeah mate, true that :lol: I had to hung over my self upside down to install them corectly.... :D :))

Also another set of pics will be coming up soon with the window switches, only the back ones though. Alot of bloody polishing is involved in this process but you forget all about it once you see the results.:)

Before doing anything mate, make sure you have a very understanding wife or girlfriend. If she doesn't understand you please make her watch "Love the Beast"...then she will understand your passion for cars. :winky: It's is quite easy but you'll need to have patience as I was just about to muck up some part because of my lack of patiece. But who knows ..you might have patience ...you retrimmed your roof and pillars after all. Cheers

Will do.

I will do but there are so many web sites and youtube videoclips out there explaining how to do it and I think it would be pointless. But no problems if you really think is a good idea.

Part 2 clicky This is the interior light unit. That was the easiest one of all to do. Is it ok? The final buff made it really shiny... :winky:

Yeah mate, true that :lol:
