I cant believe no one asked what color hids i got.

Since everyone was *****ing about the resolution. Here are some high quality pics.



Here is my uncleaned passanger side projector

VS. cleaned driver side


As for a DIY for the key ring. The trim around the key ring. Pull it toward you and to the center of the car. This gives u a gap below the king ring. You can see a philips screw. Unscrew it. Then u can move around the key ring light and twist the bulb out of it.

Installation is the reversal of that. EXCEPT you dont screw the led bulb back into the key ring. The led bulb is too long to screw in. so you just put it into the hole.

I see some of you guys thought my mods were too simple.... so like emeril, i kicked up a notch.

(note : my flash washed out all the photos, but its dark so w/o flash, you cant see anything)
First i went to the junk yard and got this

Second i had a weapon r CAI for another car. So of course i modified it to fit into the sc.



For the extensions i used a 180 degree 3 in MANDREL-BENT ALUMINIZED TUBING from jc whitney.

Truthfully i am kinda disappointed in the CAI. The sound it makes is barely noticeable. But hay it looks cool.

Plus i added a cabin air filter.

Next mods, 97+ tail lights, 3 spoke wheel and sound system.

Why thank you for asking

They are 4300k. I love them because not only do you get the higher amount of usable light. But the light is blueish when looking at the projector, yet white on the road.

Nice, I did almost the same thing to my car when I first got it except I used all polarg bulbs to match the color of the lens and a tsx retrofit. This thread reminded me I still need to do the ignition ring and a few other interior parts.

What kind of LED bulbs did you use for the interior (dome light, door)

they look great. I'm tired of the yellowish hue when I turn on my lights to look for something at night.

also, any more pictures of your other car
