Hreadlight wiring needed a bit of a tidy up.
       
New loom made using 6mm cable.

Aftermarket headlights did not have required cutout so out with the Dremel followed by a repaint.

Indicators needed replacing as bulb holders corroded, base flaking and lenses cracked.
Aftermarket indicators had incorrect terminals.
       
New terminals:
   
New amber LED globes and new lens fitted:

Driving light/Fog light wiring using:
  • Mil Spec battery terminals,
  • Heavy duty fuse at battery,
  • 6mm twin sheathed wiring from the battery to the front,
  • Accessory fuse box with enough circuits for auxiliary lights, audio and -ve bus,
  • Standard lighting will still be through original wiring,
  • Fog light signal from parking light circuit to fog light relay,
  • Driving light signal from high beam circuit to driving light relay.
   
Mock up using donor bumper to get the look right.
Real bumper fitted with 6mm rivnuts for the number plate and 8mm rivnuts for the light bar.
Light bar necessary to spot Kangaroos but can be removed so Kombi can look like a Kombi.
   
I still have to figure out where to run the wiring to the auxiliary lights.
