Default two Quick questions...EASY!

First, what driving light & brights would be the closest in color & brightness to my stock HIDs? I am completly stock, and just want my brights & parking lights to match.

Also, I want to do a m5 style spoiler in the rear. Does anyone have any pics of this & what would be a good place to Buy?

thanks again! Ive got lots of new things that im working on for the car...Hopefully she will be ready by apr 29th..for the release of the new fast & furious movie...

dont act like your not excited to go see that movie...even though they are a total joke

I can't help you with the spoiler but the stock lights on my '01 is300 put out 4300k, the higher you go the more "blue" the lights will get. Just do a search for HID lights at 4300k. As far as the spoiler I don't know what sites sell it but l-tuned parts is a decent place to buy body mods, I prefer local/ebay sales myself. Hope I could help some.

The stock lights are going to be HID-D2R 4300K's, Highs/DRL are 9005, not sure the what temp, i just disconnected mine cuz i didn't like the yellow/orange look. Either way your DRL are going to be the same, it's just reduced 50%. As far as teh M5 style spoiler. If it's the one im thinking of just google the IS300 TRD wing. IMO it's the best one we got.

How did you disconnect the DRL?
Not a fan of those either.

I believe it's on the passenger side strut tower. You disconnect that plug. be careful, if you've just driven the car, it will be hot.

Smile Thanks again!

Im going to go get new lights after work!

as far as spoiler, i found the one I want to get....

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/p...ducts_id=13018

For what it is, the Price is right!

(BTW, does anyone have pics of this spoiler on a IS300??)

I really dont want to pay twice as much for the TTE spoiler, which looks almost identical!

Thanks again for the info!
