Definitely will get the pics done. LED Guy is hooking it up! He's doing some modest work on leds (I'm not doing the LED Swap). I will be putting in Soft glow leds in the cupholders while he's in there...

I did not. Remember I sent you the photos that suggested the connector shape didn't match. Well it turned out I was right.

They are sending a replacement.

The ones above look sick.
Off topic, what's the deal with the JDM fogs? I know they're rare. Do they at least hace a projector? They better have some serious light output for me to spend 2K+ on those

Not sure. I actually got them off another CL member who sold his 2GS.

Thanks, but I think the tips looked better on my SD (maybe because of the color)

JDM fogs are HID projectors. They also include LED daytime running lights. Do a search on my post for pics.
