Default Mods part 2 and help question

EDIT:Fogs Installed 2/23/13
Installed some Hoen Endurance Yellow fog light bulbs since I didnt feel like messing with HID bulbs and ballasts. Iv used Hoen xenon match in my other cars, decided to try the yellows on the F.






OLD:
Got my windshield tinted with 70% 3M Crystalline and it looks awesome and helps so much.



I want to order the Joe Z intake pipe but on Ltunedparts it says to leave in the comments if you want the black or blue, but I dont know if I am blind or what, I dont see a comment section and it just takes me to the billing/shipping/credit card info and the proceed button that checks out and charges your order. I want to order the blue pipe.

From searching, I think that the Joe Z pipe leaves the factory dual stage intake in place because its just the pipe and not the factory air box, is that correct?

Now some lights, I ordered some endurance yellow fog light bulbs but had some questions about the other bulbs. From what I gather off searching, the DRLs are the high beams that run at reduced power and I would just need to change out the 9005 bulb to a white color one. The other small bulb in the high beam housing is called a "city light"? and it is a type 194 wedgebulb?

thanks guys

for the lights, even though you get white bulb for DRL/highbeam , it will still come out yellow. if you are sure you want to keep that DRL and highbeam option, you will need to get a kit like this.

yes, the other bulb is just a 194 wedge bulb



as for the joe z intake, it indeed keeps the second intake sound that we all love.

I actually emailed them and Luis emailed me back and told me I could call him anytime I wanted and he would help me out no problem. So I will do that. Thanks :-)

To answer the intake question, you are correct, JoeZ intake keeps the two stage air box, so you are really replacing the pipe itself only

Im sort of confuse on this, I understand this kit will give me the LED look for my DRL, but will I still be able to use the highbeam function?

I know changing out the drl to LED will result in a loss of highbeam function

You answered your own question, the DRL is reduced powered Highbeam, so it won't you won't have any highs. But you can replace the small parking light bulb to LED
