Pretty pleased with the results!

Pretty sure it's the JDM Lancaster trim, pretty much everything is black.

I've got that same black trim in my old Liberty, just minus the Lancaster badge..
I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

They look great, Sam!
Were you able to wire them in easily enough?

Yeah, wasn't too bad of a job, the lights themselves connect up pretty easy and I've grounded the load resistor to one of the screws lower down, I'll keep an eye on everything for now to make sure they function properly

So a few updates/questions etc.
With the new LED tail lights, I've wired the load resistor straight to the ground, which causes the left hand side to flash twice as quick, would I be correct in connecting it to the earth wire instead?
The paint on the colour-coded panels is becoming worse each day, I was talking to Ben about it and he said he has a new painter who did the same colour on the Fiori, which looks much nicer. Was wondering if it'd be worth it getting these bits resprayed or if there's any other fixes. The paint cracks easily, peels and has many fine scratches. The rest of the paint seems much stronger.
Bad Paint examples:
Better paint examples (cleaned, not polished):

Same here. Looks the same as the RSK trim except the RSK continues the same colour around the dash cluster top section as well.

Yes, connect it to the earth wire from factory so it correctly goes through the flasher module. Almost everything in these cars is negatively switched, which is why your indicators now flash faster.
MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.
MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.
