    • Fitted the Hansen styling DRL/Fogs, using proper conduit for a neat install. Set them to stay on even when the main lights are on and used a bullet connector so it can revert back to correct function if needed for MOT. Just need to find the right wire under the UEC for the ignition on live to activate them later, currently in fuse 10 for AFL's. The fog trigger wires go n/s side down and around n/s fog to the body loom, the ign on wire and earth follow the wiring for PP and the temp sensor down the back up into the battery/UEC area to keep it neat. http://www.hansen-styling-parts.de/e...ducts/1847-O-1
    • Replaced LED side lights with whiter ones from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2518662697...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT as this seller sells proper white ones most of the time as i don't like the blue tinted ones.
    • Soldered a fly lead bulb holder to the passenger sidelight as the error came back even with the canbus LEDS.
    • Fitted new headlight mounts as a couple were worn from over use.
    • Updated the CD70 with dealer disc.
    • stabbed my finger with the stanley blade while cutting back some of the wiring

    Its not been a worth while job unless you've lost a finger or stabbed yourself with a stanley knife.

    • Removed and cleaned K&N air filter then re-oiled, discovered the hard inlet pipe isnt well fitting and very close to the MAF making it near impossible to remove the airbox top. Also due to lack of space the rubber boot has been damaged but still seals. This has created another job to cut the pipe down which will be done at a friends with a proper saw machine.
    • MAF removed and cleaned.
    • 3 more 9 SMD led panels installed, footwells next.
