We haven't done an Airrunner on a RX yet, which is why I posted the question. Thanks for keeping me in mind though. I appreciate it.

Question for you... When you installed the Vais SL2Vi, did you also perform the mod to over ride the unit so that the video will play even when the vehicle is in motion? If so, how? Is it the same mod in a post that shows how to mod for bluetooth and address entry while vehicle is in motion?

Do you happen to know how much are the AirRunner kits running for? I heard that AirRunners include a lot more stuff in their kits than UAS, is that true?

crazy, turning a 04 S2000 lens into a bi-xenon setup, and little devil is doing
a custom high power led high beam setup that also serves as DRL, ( the estimated lumens will be over 1200+ lumens) I have plan to switch out the 35watt hid set fog with full 55 watt setup pending on money, and use the hidextra 35watt ballast to powerup reverse light with on demand switch so no one can tailgate me without me taking a good look at their face.

Got the Eibachs on mine and love it. There ARE coilover applications for the RX in Japan. But the prices are in the $2k-$3k ballpark. I'd would rather skip the coils and go straight to Airrunners. I can get Airrunner systems for just about the $4k range, shipped to the US.

Here is a pic for the kit...
It is a standard kit, that works with the factory type halogen bulb requirement known as an H11.
I have no issues with blinding oncoming drivers, and the reason for this is the nature of the driving/fog lamp, it is a projector style housing. This design is more incline to work with a retrofit kit with an HID type bulb. The "extra" amount of light produced by the HID bulb is more than capable of harnessing this light and accurately projecting it in the intended manner designed by the projector Driving / Fog light.
This particular modification works 100% there are no compromises or drawbacks, in that, the HID kit works in perfect harmony with the projector lamp as well as the demands placed on the electrical system.

Hello everyone!
I read this topic with much enthusiasm. Im from Europe, Netherlands, and just bought myself an rx400h.
Now I am looking to tune it up a bit.
Is there a substitute for the mid console with the cassette deck? Or will that mean I will loose other features as wel as the reverse drive cameras?
Are there here any people that have experience with a bodykit and or suspension change to airride or another good alternative for the stock suspension so it wont wiggle so much?
nice reading all this! Just too bad every pic isnt visible anymore!
greetz!
