Not near done, but got the rear bumper on and felt a bit accomplished. Test fit. New gasket from Phil’s Rotary. They do run thick. The license plate light is not painted, but polished plastic. The rubber trim was wet sanded with 2500 grit. Headlight motor. And the other side.
I am going through the refoaming the heater box. Well, at some point the core froze and went all puffer fish on me. I have a used one in transit and will have it inspected and cleaned at the radiator shop.
I fell in love with the aesthetic of the smooth yellow lights. I assumed fog lights, but I guess they could be driving lights.I thought driving lights are clear but there is no DOT markings, so it could be imported. The lights read "Made in Japan 660" and "E2" Other than that, I do not know any information on these.

No,they're not DOT. Legal in Japan,France,pretty sure some others. Technically not here. No amber headlamps,driving lamps,amber fogs ok. Need to wire them to come on with hi beams only to meet lighting code. To take advantage of beam output,need to be mounted higher up about same height as headlamps. Fog lights always mounted low,they have a flat wide beam to get under fog,illuminate lane markings. Work great in rain. Fog lamps wired to be used with low beams and turn off when switched to hi beam.
They do look good on your car,curious as to how yellow beam looks from driver seat. They're essentially pencil beams that throw a concentrated beam out @600 yards,mounted as they are they'll throw some light on the road in a wider pattern close up also. H3 bulb in those lamps? Can you post a closeup pic of bulb inside lamp from front of lens?
Need to be powered thru a relay that can pick up its trigger from left hi beam headlight wire. Relay mounted on fenderwell so fused power wire a short run to battery positive terminal.You can run the ground wire from the relay inside car and connect to a switch that grounds when turned on. Would be real easy to use an illuminated switch by running 12 volt key hot wire to switch,ground wire from relay to 2nd terminal and wire that you ground to metal dash brace to 3rd switch terminal.
I'll post a pic to illustrate difference between fog/driving lamp.
Off Road driving lights/Fog lights on my truck Off Road lights up top Fogs below. Lens on driving light is clear glass as is yours. Lines are ridges formed in reflector housing to shape and focus beam. Fog lamp has flutes laser cut on inside of lens,bulb holder has a shield that collects all light and focuses it on reflector and back out thru the lens in a concentrated flat wide beam. Both type lamps are available in round and rectangular shapes but work same.RE driving lights,the larger the Light housing,the more light produced. The same wattage bulb in a smaller in diameter lamp will produce less light than a larger diameter lamp with same wattage bulb.
No need to remove bulb,take closeup pic of lamp from front. Last time i saw pic of the wire harness it was on a table. Also curious if that's original carpet.
New carpets through ACC. I did not have the old carpet to use as a template. ACC over cuts by about 5-8 inches. It works but fits like an off the rack suit.
