I have to admit that the MRR is my favorite color in the ISF, BUT the only other color I would rock for this car would be the USB. It looks amazing in person.

+1. originally, i was suppose to get MRR. it looks way diff on isx50 than the F for some reason. Looked amazing in person, especially with new LED black housing lights. thats the only reason why i didnt choose it. because the oem white headlights looked better on blue even though i ended up changing it anyways

is there a reason why you swapped back to clear headlights?

The Truth? I am very **** about my parts, when i bought the MY2012's they had small scuff's i couldn't deal with. So i decided to sell them to a local member on here. Eventually, i will go back to the LED's one later down the road. Until now, i love my 08's especially, since they look like new after the buffing process. Your car has been one of my inspirations. (Clean and simple)

Not to mention, you lose AFS with the newer LED headlights. At least for me that was my reason for staying with my original 2008 headlights, I preferred to keep the AFS.

On another note... I bought my car with the fogs having yellow film on them from the previous owner. They have LED bulbs, im thinking to peel them off, but also thinking the film would somewhat protect the lenses as well... opinions?

^ I had yellow LaminX on mine which burnt after switching to some yellow Putco bulbs. I thought it would be a pain to remove, especially after it was burned on, but it ended up coming off pretty easily.

If you're not a fan of the yellow overlay, but are concerned about the lens getting chipped over time, you can always apply clear LaminX or similar product.

Adaptive Front lighting System (Your projectors turn the direction you steer when your HID's are on. in other words; they move right and left for better visibility of the road at night.
