Default Heading to Tokyo next week!

Going back to Tokyo to visit my girlfriend for a month so wanted to let any of you JDM fans out there if you would like to get minor JDM part i.e. the beginners driver bage, wakaba, or some LED lights i could look for them in my spare time..as long as i dont have to put them on order and i can find them at the local auto parts store. I have no idea what minor JDM parts are available so if you know tell me so I can go try to find it!!

If you are shopping for LED lights for your interior/trunk upgrade, I would recommend the following IPF products which are easier to get in Japan. Try them in shop and buy it from some e-tailers in Rakuten..

http://www.ipf.co.jp/IPF2007/catalog/positionBulb.html

XP-06 for any position light/wedge/P168/P192 style. This particular model is made by Nichia Corporation and they are very bright and good. This one made me switch from PIAA LEDs. They have a high C/P ratio and compact in size. I have ave them installed on the front door courtesy light and the front headlight parking lights last year.
