Really?! ...I've been browsing this forum for about a year and the people here seem helpful. If not, there's always the search function! lol

Thanks! ...and again thanks for that great LED DIY! My cousin in on the Prelude / Subaru Forums and couldn't believe how bright the interior got with the LEDs. He thought his LEDs were bright... lol

Yea I don't want to go too low. Not really into being slammed... and especially if I bring it to work in DC... potholes galore! haha

...um I'll think about it LOL!

H11 PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow. They're about $77 from PIAA but can get them cheaper on Ebay:

I went through the fender to install the fog light bulbs and what a PITA!! I didn't have much space to work with and I can only imagine trying to install the ballast and bulb.

...thanks for the warm welcome guys! Yes, I'll def keep you guys updated on any mods I do and try to help out other members as much as I can.

Went to my local Lexus dealer at the end of Nov and they had 3 in stock. Tungsten Pearl, Stafire Pearl, and Smoky Granite Mica. ..I really wanted Glacier Frost Mica, but according to them I had to special order that color. What I heard from other members, GFM is not available to order on the F-sport package.

Also i love the way your fogs look, thinking about getting those bulbs too but do you think it really looks like that in person. Some yellow fogs look TOO yellow in person. Those look perfect.

No, the F-sport package does not include the exhaust / intake

F-Sport package includes:

"heated sport seats w/microfiber insert, F-sport 18" dark graphite alloy wheels, 225/40R18 front all-season tires, P255/40R18 rear all-season tires, F-sport-tuned suspension, sport pedals, aluminum scuff plates, front lip spoiler, rear decklid spoiler, sport grille, sport steering wheel, sport shift ****"

Yea, IMO they're not too yellow... I actually want something more yellow lol.
