thx for the props one thing i ask thou, share the lighting info with whoever asks. When i first got my car i went the expensive PIAA route and well... overpriced/overrated/it suxed, then i went the uber cheep route (4led type bulbs) and that suxed too... took 3 and in some lites 4 tries before i dialed in the 'the look' and even thou i'm creating a 'cookie cutter' look for 'modded' 2IS boiz, its one uber nice cookie hehe one thing i forgot to mention, this is what i run in my rear turns, 24smt 7440 *white* bulbs, might change it to amber thou IF i get the is-f clear tails you'll get the fast blink and they (vleds) has in line resistors for sale BUT i myself like the fast blink it gives:

Stage 1 update, everything in but HID headlights and fogs. 8 year old digital camera, couldn't get an interior night shot from the outside to show up.

City lights (the blue ones, others are stock halogens)


New DRL


Blue dome lights


And increased hp from the mods
