Default Redouts, GFX front lip, Carwash.(no 56k)

Well, the most recent mod i got is the GFX front lip and i took off my smoked tail lights and put in red outs instead. 8k Headlights and foglights. Took license plate off. I also washed my car after the rain storm and my girlfriend took some pictures with a crappy 5.2 camera. Don't flame -_-







School starts Monday!

I used these 13 SMT LEDs from vleds on ebay. Trustworthy seller and i got all of my bulbs from him. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-WHI...9005QQtcZphoto

It's not hard at all. All you have to do is take the headlight cover off and replace the bulb. Getting to the driver side is harder because the windshield wiper fluid tube is in the way. Get that out of the way and you'll be on your way.

Yeah. Plus my 8000k foglights aren't blue at all so it pretty much shines over the blue-ness of my 8k headlights.

Don't you wish you can make your own license plate and slap it on your car?

I can't. The brake pads are so bad, that something is rubbing the metal piece above the rotor.

My girlfriend does her makeup a lot in the car so I kept those lights yellow so she can see how much she doesn't need makeup. But she still puts it on all the time. You tend to see better with the ugly yellow than the super sick white.. O well.
