Pete's GS400 Build Thread
I got the bulbs for hella cheap from eBay seller name "ckw1228". A lot of people here buy the kits from LuxuryMods too.
The plate looks great. Not too bright. and Not yellow light anymore
My second batch of LED tails came in today. Now i gotta REDO the whole custom paint process again. At least they sent me these at no charge 
Maybe get to them this weekend along with another lil mod i been excited to tackle on the inside

Sick of the Hood falling down on your head? Replace those worn out Hood Struts in 10 minutes flat.
Bought mine on eBay for $29 from deezeeauto and the brand is "StrongArm" and they come with the swivel ball bolts so you dont have to drill out your old ones.

Unscrew the factory ones with a 12mm

Reinstall the new ones Used a (7/32) - Done Deal! Hood Raises up by itself.

ok, so i know i already did a walkthrough on how i did my tail lights. but since i had a bad resistor on one i had to ship em back and get another set. I did these a lil bit different.

the company you returned your tails to didnt care that you had modified them?
thanks man
i was surprised they didnt mind. so, even though they arent braga's and can have issues at least the customer service end of the company is good.
as far as the hood struts, when i bought mine i didnt even think about the ball nuts being included. luckily they were in the pack. once they arrived it made sense why some people have to drill theirs out. worked out well. that was an easy install
