Default My First Mods 56k Beware!!!
So I just bought my car last month and I already have the mod fever to make it "My" Ride. I put in 6k Fogs and LED parking lights. I also put in 6k 9005. I just got my IS from the car audio shop and I love the clean install they did. Enjoy!

DRL = 9005 hibeams running at low power.
Parking lites are the 194 led bulbs.

Nice sub install, how the output since a Lexus is a lux car after all and theres alot of sound muffling from the trunk? do you have to open the pass thru to get optimal bass?

The output is really good. It sounds best when the pass through is open but even with it closed, it's really loud.

Hid fogs are the way to go After I installed my set I love how on the freeway you iluminate the whole ground in front of you.

Thanks for all the compliments. I took the spare out but I'm going to get run flats when I replace these tires. Plus I have road side assistance through my insurance so I should be covered.
