  1. So, tired of not finding the rare H3C bulbs for your Starlets? Want LED but don't want to spend crazy money? Then this is a tutorial for you :)



    Tools needed: Soldering iron, solder, thin 0.75mm copper wire (you can find this on old transformers or coils), blown H3C bulbs and LED W16W T15 bulbs:



    Here's the ebay link:

    First you need dead H3C bulbs, these ones will work best, they come on the glanzas from factory usually:

    remove the bulbs and tear them apart like this, unsolder the bottom connections for the halogen bulbs:

    then take your LED bulbs and solder copper wire on each pole:

    Slide the assembly through the old H3C casing holes that you previously unsoldered and cleaned:

    Solder the connections:

    Let's test them! (I made a custom Glanza fog light harness for an N/A and I didn't install it yet so these are bench tests, will post installed night pics later)



    Here's the result:

    And here's the light they make (note: it's daytime), pics don't do it justice, I can't look at them directly due to how bright they are XD

    If you have any questions, drop me a PM, cheers! :)


  2. Went to the body shop to drop off my new 98 tail lights and indicators that I just received!

    the boss let me have a look at her and told me the body was really rough under their lights xD they have done an amazing job to recover the tired little city car it used to be... She'll be staying one more week though... :(

    snapped some pics of her progress!

    and the quarter that was smashed in, it's so smooth now... so stoked with the body work, deffo worth the money when it's done properly!

    To keep me busy while she's there I did the front fog light loom, everything will be wired to a OEM Starlet switch so it looks as OEM as possible :)

    will update when I get her back :)

  3. Sooooo updates updates!!!

    New parts were bought!

    - 98 tail lights in pristine condition

    - Mint 98 clear indicators

    - Oem clear side repeaters

    - Team heko wind deflectors

    prefer these over oem, and they're cheaper and easier to get xD saw some on a T30 X-trail and was pleased with team heko's quality 👍

    Other than that, the love for the project is growing stronger and stronger... As a result, I pulled my finger out and bought her some good stuff 👍

    can't believe she's using more products than I use to wash myself 😂😂

    PS: next post will be with the car painted, well, I hope.... If the shop says one more week I'll be gutted ahahah atleast the dude is taking pics of all the steps so I'll be able to post them here for you guys to see, plans for when she comes back are installing the side skirts :)

    Cheers!

  4. You can put on straight away if car was baked in paint shop. If it was air dried then wait a couple days

    It's being done in a great shop where they fix mainly luxurious cars like bentleys and Maseratis, I visited their facility and the paint booth is gorgeous :) might be able to put the decals straight on then

  5. So my car is coming back from the paint shop hopefully next week and I've been keeping some Glanza decals forever to slap on it, can I put them on after I get the car back or should I wait to put them on? ...
