You need lights, surrounds, grill, guards, and the panel from under the bumper.

In some cases you need the bonnet and valance too.

Twin headlight conversion parts are starting to pull high prices too...

Whats a high price in the world of KE's though? $100? :lol:

Exactly, it wasn't long ago that would get you a whole car, rather than just a couple of lights and guards...

Lets not forget that a tidy 25 year old KE70 is selling for piss all less than a non-turbo SW20 these days... :lol:

I wasnt taking the piss... buying parts for K series cars is awesome, Need a gearbox? $50. :lol:

And I dont disagree! NA SW20s are worth SFA all nowadays.

the likes of KE's and KP's compared to SW20s....

The difference is like night and day.

I love my KP, Id rather have a KE instead though.

For the money, Im not sure which Id rather have.... KE or SW20.

Ive had more fun in the starlet in the last month, than I have had in total in the MR2. A longer wheel base with the KE would be even better I think.

Thats not to say that the MR2 isnt technically superior in every way, there's no doubting that....

But its only a 10th of the fun.

Easiest way to do the wiring is use a relay to power the centre high beams, and the outter lights (low/high) just plug straight in with the existing plug.

You'd have to drill holes in the radiator support also to mount the headlights also, trust me I've done it on an '86 wag!

Extra tip, if you have angled lights, like me, you need to replace the boneet also.

seems like alot of work, anyone want to do it all for me for a fair price? no parts included ill get them all my self, some one just do the drilling and run the wires etc
