Thank you. I used an auto drl switch. The lights are on no matter day or night. They look cool during the day and even brighter at night.

I recently installed my Fine VU CR 500HD ant the easiest way to power it was to take +12V from rear view mirror. It took me an hour to complete installation, works perfectly.

Cool! You got a better camera I think than mine but I got mine with the same features for less than half the price.

Hey finally got the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 JDM side door window visors. I really love them and have gotten them for every car I have owned for a long time. My Scion xA, Lexus RX and this GX. Partially is the build quality over price. It's more expensive by far but won't buckle or warp like the cheap ones. Also won't leak! It's not just a 3M tape stick on.

Before: at a certain time of day when the sunlight is most bothersome with exactly where the visors cover. I did not realize this till I got this car without them.






Car is still filthy lol. It's been raining so much the past month or so I just could not get myself to spend the $20 washing the car to get messed up again so quick.

This is a shot showing the visors and my front bumper bug/rock protector.


Not much bulge. Very clean.


Almost invisible yet great function.

Promised to share a couple of shots when I cleaned the car so here you go. Only took two months to get to it haha.

Gotta say I really love this bug/rock guard with the black on black.
