Other vehicle mods, eg lowered suspension, engine/trans/diff transplants etc need to be certified [$$$], and a compliance cert affixed to vehicle. Bureaucracy run amok...
For example, with our old Fords, converting a mech braked Ford to later hydraulics, or installing a dropped axle would fall into these categories.
However, as I tend to be somewhat non-conformist, I like to modify my 35 as I please, without going through any of that hoo haa. I looks stock, and in all honesty, they don't know what they're looking at. Should I ever get pinged for LED headlights, it's simple enough to refit the current halogens I'm running at the side of the road. Easiest car ever to change headlite bulbs in. Doubt I'll get pulled over though....

Brian without leading me astray Will the LED Bulbs you brought fit my 34 and if so what is the model number of the bulbs and where did you get them? Thanks Karl
