Swapped the Sonar headlights onto my mates coupe. Think the swap suits both cars better
My old Sonars are doing some travelling! Are three facelifts h7 or halogen?

Took bumper off, removed lower grill and painted gloss black to match the kidneys I done a little while back. Removed fogs and washed out all the crud and silver that had fallen off inside with the corotion.. found some LaminX I had left over from tintinting the indicators on my old E46 and used it on them, happy the condensation don't stand out like a sore thumb anymore.

nice one! does it power on with ignition? I can't seem to get my sony's wiring right.. it gets the power but it wont come on without me physically pressing the button to turn it on/off
Yea it does although I think it is a setting that can be adjusted in the menu for auto on or not I guess you probably already checked that with yours though
yeah that doesn't do the trick :| must be sonys pre-wiring :headbang: tempted to even get a new headunit :D

Did you get an aftermarket harness to connect the headunit? Maybe try a different brand harness adapter? Cheaper than changing the hu

Done the deal on a quaife ATB LSD, and also picked up some Dynamat extreme whilst at Zedfest... Tinny doors will be sorted in the morning!

Also decided that my next mod after the LSD will be A supercharger.. Blaming mac27040 well and truly for that one!
