Default Broadway Bridge - Portland, OR

Felt inspired today to get out and take a few shots of the IS. Here are a few of the better ones and a few near the Broadway Bridge in Portland. Let me know what you think.











Photos taken with Canon 60D

I really missed Portland, OR. Used to wander around the area during my student years.

Can't remember which bridge that leads directly into downtown area (near China Town).

Similiar situation, I just finished college and will be moving up to Seattle next week. Will miss Portland. I think you are thinking of the Burnside Bridge that leads into China Town.

^ hmm haha maybe I am the confused one. They came on the car from the previous owner so I'm honestly not sure. I know that they are not factor HIDs because I do not have the AFS option in the dash screen. However I guess they could be aftermarket cause they are definitely very bright... is there an easy way to tell without getting down in there under the hood?

They must be aftermarket HIDs. If the car came with HIDs from the factory then the previous owner must have just just switchec bulbs since the car already has the ballasts. If it came with halogens, then they must have bought an aftermarket HID kit which includes a ballast.

Car is looking good!
