The headlamps are the crystal clear ones, looks more modern and gives a better light with the right bulbs.

Well plans are to wire up the side markers to the USA spec, get a few more spot lamps, roof rack or a tire on the roof bars, lift kit, clear turn signals, modular steel wheels and mud tires, induction kit or snorkel.

Any more suggestions would be cool,
