Uncanny you know I was thinking I missing Hilton’s vids yesterday and guess who turns up ! Nice to see you back buddy and I hope you are well. Cars looking fab some really tasty mods that really do add so much to the overall feel and look of the car ( take some notes FORD your cars could be so much nicer with a little effort ) hope the musics going well to my good man just bought some new mics for my kit as I have some pretty big gigs coming up over the summer ! Good luck with the move dude hope all goes well 👍
Hello Hilton. Great to see you back with a new video. You have been busy improving the Everest. The 'wood' trim vinyl wrap is very classy. The Everest is a very impressive looking vehicle, it's not a soft roader/crossover like my Tucson lol :-) I don't think we have the Everest in the UK but we did have the Edge for a few years. It's a nice SUV and pretty huge for our roads. Hope the move goes smoothly. :-)
Hey Andy. Good to hear from you. Pity they don't sell this car in the UK. The new one is awesome looking. But there's nothing wrong with a Tucson. They're good cars and very reliable. Hang on to yours mate 😉
Glad to see your back, it's nice to see you haven't gone mad with the mods, yet what a difference, please please show us more. All the best with the upcoming move, maybe show us a little bit of that as well.
Well done Hilton on the changes made to your new car. It looks great. You were right to make to change to something that matches your needs. I came to your channel as I was interned in Jaguar. I ended up buying a 2017 Xf 2l diesel and I'm very happy with it!. All the best from Dublin Ireland
Hey Debbs. Thanks for watching. The kitty cats are doing well. The past few months have been difficult but I'm getting through it. Good to hear from. Hope you're doing well your side of the world.🤗
Hi Hilton. It's great to see you again. I sold my Jag xf 2 years ago and now ride an ebike, that's why i've not been on for a while. I see you've let go of the Jag. Here in the UK the XF has become the "Company car" for far too many, they're everywhere, like the Vauxhall Vectra in the 90's, it's a shame but they've lost a lot of the Prestige Jaguars once had. That's only my opinion though, I can't fault anybody for buying one, they're still gorgeous. I'll keep checking back on your videos. All the best.
Thanks mate. Yeah, I decided to go a different direction and even though instill love Jags, I don't regret my decision. The SUV I got is awesome and so comfortable to drive. An ebike hey? What is anbebike? Is it an electric motorcycle or scooter? As we move into the future choices like the one you made make more and more sense.
Nice to see your back have missed my fix lol. How’s the cats also. Hope your all well. I noted your moving are you moving far from where you are now. Those decals look like good and really suit the car.
Thanks mate. We are moving 1000 miles to another city. My hometown. It's been difficult living in Pretoria so far away from the sea and family. So we've decided to move back to where our support base is. The kitties are doing good. I'm just a bit apprehensive for their flight back home. It's quite stressful for them, but I'm sure all will be ok. Thanks for watching as always ;)
Thanks Debbs. The music is my own. I publish it under the name Xcapemuzik. I have a RUclips channel called Xcapemuzik so you can listen to it there if you like. I think I put a link in the description of this video 🤗
For the low beams, I used H11 equivalents www.takealot.com/h11-conversion-car-kit-led-bulb-2-piece/PLID49031039 For the high beams, I used H15 equivalents with the short connector at first, but those were rubbish. I then just bought this set and they did fit inside the housing along with the ballast. www.takealot.com/g7-40w-canbus-4-sided-h15-led-set/PLID72991818
If I recall, the low beams use H11 and the DRL high beam uses H15. You got to ensure the high beam DRL bulbs are short at the back otherwise you can't get the dust cover back on the headlight.
Hey there, I'm afraid I can't remember where I got the final ones. IIt was trial and error until I found ones that worked well. Inhave since replaced the headlights with full led lights from Alibaba. And they are even better. Checkbthat video out, there is a link. They are available in RHD and LHD and I'm super stoked with them ever since.
HI Hilton, Did you not get any error lights after charging to the globes from take a lot? please share the link where to get the globes that worked and fitted in your vehicle.
Hi Noel. I didn't have any errors with the bulbs I fitted. Here's a link to the LED indicator bulbs I used, the H15 and H11 bulbs I got on take a lot. I'll look for the link to those.
Here the links for the H15 bulbs I fitted: www.takealot.com/g7-40w-canbus-4-sided-h15-led-set/PLID72991818 Here's the link for the H11: www.takealot.com/super-bright-200w-15000lm-h11-vehicle-led-headlights/PLID91373559 With the H11, you have to buy a bulb that doesn't have a long tail end, there isn't much space to get in in and close the dust cover - it's very tight in there so these bulbs with a short over hang at the rear are pretty much the only option. If I recall, the 4x4 store also sell really super bright H11 bulbs.

You sure can. If you check out my latest videos you will see I've done even more to take it up a notch. Mine is a 2017 model with 46k km on the clock with the 2.2 diesel turbo and its a great car. The 3.2 is even more awesome thanks to the extra power and torque. 👍

Thanks John. Congrats on your purchase. That diesel you got is frugal and will get you many thousands of happy miles. 😊
Hey Hilton how are you? How are the cats. Great job with all the mods. Good job, thanks.
Hey Debbs. Thanks for watching. The kitty cats are doing well. The past few months have been difficult but I'm getting through it. Good to hear from. Hope you're doing well your side of the world.🤗
@@carfanfan Doing just fine, God is blessing.
@@mygodisable2 I'm glad to hear that Debbs. Yeah, the world is a crazy place to be in right now. Look after you 🤗

Patiently waiting for your next video Mr Hilton...
By the way Hilton, I love that music. What is it?
Thanks Debbs. The music is my own. I publish it under the name Xcapemuzik. I have a RUclips channel called Xcapemuzik so you can listen to it there if you like. I think I put a link in the description of this video 🤗
@@carfanfan Thanks.
Hi Hilton.
We just bought a 2.2 XLT Everest.
Loving the vehicle.
Can you please share the links where to buy the mods you have.
Thank you.
Thanks Carlyle. I'll pop a note here once the links have been added in the description 😉
Hi, can you tell me what led bulbs you installed?
For the low beams, I used H11 equivalents www.takealot.com/h11-conversion-car-kit-led-bulb-2-piece/PLID49031039
For the high beams, I used H15 equivalents with the short connector at first, but those were rubbish. I then just bought this set and they did fit inside the housing along with the ballast. www.takealot.com/g7-40w-canbus-4-sided-h15-led-set/PLID72991818
Heyy Hilton, Could you please help on what LED Globes you used for the headlights?
If I recall, the low beams use H11 and the DRL high beam uses H15. You got to ensure the high beam DRL bulbs are short at the back otherwise you can't get the dust cover back on the headlight.
Hi Hilton,please can you send me info on the led bulbs you have used for all the front lights. Thanks
Hey there, I'm afraid I can't remember where I got the final ones. IIt was trial and error until I found ones that worked well.
Inhave since replaced the headlights with full led lights from Alibaba. And they are even better. Checkbthat video out, there is a link. They are available in RHD and LHD and I'm super stoked with them ever since.
I love your accent!
Thanks Luke. Where are you from?
HI Hilton,
Did you not get any error lights after charging to the globes from take a lot? please share the link where to get the globes that worked and fitted in your vehicle.
Hi Noel. I didn't have any errors with the bulbs I fitted. Here's a link to the LED indicator bulbs I used, the H15 and H11 bulbs I got on take a lot. I'll look for the link to those.
Here the links for the H15 bulbs I fitted:
www.takealot.com/g7-40w-canbus-4-sided-h15-led-set/PLID72991818
Here's the link for the H11:
www.takealot.com/super-bright-200w-15000lm-h11-vehicle-led-headlights/PLID91373559
With the H11, you have to buy a bulb that doesn't have a long tail end, there isn't much space to get in in and close the dust cover - it's very tight in there so these bulbs with a short over hang at the rear are pretty much the only option. If I recall, the 4x4 store also sell really super bright H11 bulbs.
HI Hilton, Where did you get the folding mirror and window closer module from, please can you share the link. Thank you

Does the led on the high beam dim when it's in DRL? The gets stronger and brighter once high beam is switched on?
Yes. The DRL bulb has four rows of led. Only 2 work on DRL and all 4 work on high beam.
Not sure, but probably if they share duality with another function.
Hi I have a 2017 Ford Everest 3.2 Ltd 4x4 can I do the same for this model
You sure can. If you check out my latest videos you will see I've done even more to take it up a notch. Mine is a 2017 model with 46k km on the clock with the 2.2 diesel turbo and its a great car. The 3.2 is even more awesome thanks to the extra power and torque. 👍
Thanks a million 💫
The best place in SA is Western Cape - hope that's where you're going hahaha
LoL. Nope, lived in Cape Town before and hated it. Port Elizabeth is where I'm going 😁
Hilton need to get you back in a JLR product cannot get use to you being in a Ford
Wooden looks extremely bad
Yes, I did say so myself. There were bubbles and I had to redo some pieces.
