When I picked the truck up a month ago or so it looked like this:





I decided to change a couple things. I finally replaced the window trim pieces too that were falling apart and destroyed...

I liked the new 06+ mirrors, so got a decent deal on ebay for them. Also liked the 06+ tails so I got those as well for a decent price and did the L1124r leds. Changed everything to leds actually. Will have to post pics so you can see how bright everything is.

Changed the antenna to a little stubby one and replaced the front painted black grill that was chipping and stuff with a chrome one. Also changed the side marker lights.. replaced the headlights to hold me over until the projector retro fit that I am going to do in the next month or two.









I'm done now though.. other than the projector retro fit. I'm happy with how it looks. For my daily beater I'm really happy with it.

I also changed out my cluster bulbs for leds:



And just as a teaser picture of what I want to do with my projector retro fit...

Looks great!

 

Looks good, more of the subie please...

 

White LEDS in the dash?
Oh man, I REALLY want to do this now.

 

I like the LED's and the mirrors.

 

how many leds did you need to get to do the whole cluster?

 

Yep just leds in the dash. I didn't do anything fancy.

The dash needs 6 for the main illumination:

I used these from superbrightleds.com



Completely changes the look of the cluster. I went with white because I like the contrasting colors. If I would have used red or blue I would have to sand the back of the cluster and then everything would have been one color... I like this look better. Pure white needles with bright green numbers.

double post

 

I have the ones Buggman makes, But i don't have a dash worthy of LEDS yet.
Next truck for sure.

 

Nice work so far... looks awesome!

 

Can't wait!!!

These are going to be going in!



Once I clean them up I think they will look great! No tears or rips so that's good!

Looks great! A 2/3 drop would be perfect.

 

Nice work!

And x2 on more pics of the Subaru

 

Very clean ride. I think some 06 badges will set it off.

 

I´ve been looking for Seats like those for almost a year !!!

Dang !

 

What is the Partnumber of those LED's? I can't seem to find them on their site. It looks like a worthwhile thing to do!!!

 

Looks great. Wish I could find seats. I've looking for awhile now.

 

The funny part is I saw a thread on ******************** about someone putting the same seats in their ranger and I was like wow those are so nice... Looked on ebay for 2 hours two days ago and found ones for an extended cab... I said darn. Read his auction and he said he had another set from a standar cab... and those were the colors I wanted!

Now I juts have to wait..lol


You want these:

Go to the 3rd set down and you are looking for the : WLED-xHP5
One forward firing LED, and then 4 on the side. These provide 360' coverage with zero hotspots. Very very pleased with these!
And they are cheap. You need 6 of them.




I feel bad since I saw the thread noted above and then looked on ebay and found them with in a couple hours...lol But my other friend went to a junk yard and paid the same amount that I did and his are all tan.

Didn't even think about those until you said something, I have to look on ebay for some now!


I'll post more pics here shortly once I get home after this weekend, I might have some on photobucket but it's blocked currently at work.

hmmm... Not sure how I feel about dropped, I'd have to see what another truck looks like with it. My STi's lowered and I actually really like that the truck is high... I almost want to lift it honestly but then it would probably prove to be harder to haul my track bike to and from..etc.
