Default Blue Eyes

So far I have changed my Parking Light to PIAA Super LED.
http://www.piaa.co.jp/piaa_web_new/0...per/index.html

And changed my Fog Light to PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow.

The latest mod is that I changed my High Beam to PIAA Xtreme Force.
http://www.piaa.co.jp/piaa/02_produc...rce/index.html

It makes the High Beam look like "Blue" when it is off. Sorry that I didn't take a good picture. But you can tell the difference from the pictures in KJ's blog. It is an art of light. I really like the design. BTW, it is brighter than the stock one.

Ii like those high beam blues. I decided to just take off the aprking lights altogether since nothing really matched them, I just got piaa plasma ions for fogs too. I like it, looks like my old 92 ES.

Looks nice! Can you please take pics of the car with the lights on. I would like to see how they look. Also, let me know what price you get on the PIAAs because the cheapest I could find them for is $399 (each)

LED Parking Light
Frankly speaking, this LED (PIAA Super LED) should not be used here because it doesn't make the best use of reflection. Maybe this one (PIAA Pasho LED) is better.
