    Went for a 90 mile fall cruise.

    Came across a like-minded cruiser with car trouble, so pulled over and hung out until his tow arrived. Lost count of all the honks and thumbs-ups we received.

    I'm looking to do this exact thing for my roadster, the stock FFR headlights are not good. But when I look for the Hella Vision Plus 7" Conversion Headlights on say Summit Racing, there are multiple PNs that I cannot tell the difference between.

    Is this one the correct one?

    I replaced the Hella halogen bulbs with LED bulbs that I saw Fman use in his build. The bulbs have built-in fans and drivers. (Thanks Fman)

    The LED bulbs are the same size as the halogen bulbs that came with the Hellas.

    Here's a profile with the flatter Hellas installed.

    Attachment 155735

    While the halogens weren't bad, the LEDs were brighter. Both the halogens and LEDs were superior to the sealed bulbs that came with the F5 kit. Everything was a direct fit with no modifications needed. Took less than an hour to do.

    Did nothing but wipe the dust off and taking a ride today in southern Pa. Other than a few issues early on, that's all I have to do is wipe off the dust and ride. It's been done for three years and has 12k miles on it. Best, most fun vehicle I've ever owned. I'm glad I ordered the fun package.

    Consider calling Mark Reynolds at Breeze (a Forum sponsor). I just installed his LED kit. Awesome and great customer service because he is dedicated to these cars. Might be on sale now?

    I finished installing the carbon fiber glove box cover and installed all the Classic Instruments "Moal Bomber Gauges" and all the switches.

    Changed my 16 year old hood support struts, they were getting weak to the point of not holding it up at times depending on the temperature.

    Test fit. Looks good for room. its sitting on the old sliders with a beach towel folded under it so its sitting a little high..



    Only negative is shoulder belt alignment. Would like to have the come straight out from the rear bulkhead & through the seat.

    No problem a number of the guys here helped me find these seats. Nice to be able to pass on the info. What's really good about them is they fit the cockpit with no work. Also they are fully upholstered front & rear.
