I use photobucket, once you upload a photo it provides 4 links to it. Paste the link with the IMG tags right into your forum reply.

I want to install a decent stereo with camera + iPod connection. Any ideas?

Oh, and also plan on fitting a couple of IPF xenon driving lights one day.

Did a few small but tedious things today.

Me and my friend installed HID's in the headlights and fogs. then had to add relays to the battery for both. Looks great when they work. But the left fog seems to not want to go on a till I turn off and on a few times and I cannot turn both fogs and headlights on at the same time successfully. So I have to turn the car on withthe headlights first then the fogs manually Bummer.



Also installed clear LED reflectors in the rear bumper. Gave up on the wiring for the LEDs and left them in just as reflectors. They look grand. Very subtle change but I love that.

Was going to go to just brake lights but it was too complicated for today. I really like the clear over the red.








LED's hould be hooked up soon.


KUDA iPhone mount.

Those LED reflectors are sweet, where did you get them? Please post pictures when you get them wired up. I wonder if they make them in white, would be cool to use them for auxiliary reverse lighting.

I will of course.

Here is the link.

I don't really expect the LED's to last forever so back up's or Break lights are best use I think.

Who is the HID kit from? They are not from Xenondepot are they, as you would not have those problems ) Looks good though

I like those rear LED's--cant wait till you get them hooked up

No just regular HID kit from a company I usually go to. I think it's more a Lexus thing to be frank combined with maybe a bad ballast or bulb..

Ha - I assure you, it is not a "Lexus thing". Those of us (with the exception of that one guy) that bought from Xenondepot have not had any issues with our HIDs.
