Looks very good. Did you remove the deflectors in the fog lights?

I have the clear fogs and not the yellow ones. Just added the 3000k HIDs that's all.

That's a pretty dope mod, I haven't been able to do this just yet. Was it hard to do?

I took my front bumper off and ran the harnesses and mounted the ballasts underneath behind the radiator support. It's also loomed so the heat doesn't affect the harness.....I'm a little OCC when it comes to wiring. Thinking that a wire tuck wouldn't be too hard....

I know what you mean. I got my HIDs from TSPNY.com - a sponsor here with some low prices on HID kits.

I got their Extreme Yellow 3k kit and couldn't be happier with the results.

And yes.....for the DRLs I got the full kit from ijdmtoy - another sponsor on CL.

Not hard except for removing the splash guard and liners - which was more tedious than difficult.

Is it obvious when you get under there or is there a good place to start on it?
