I installed. I believe ( VLeds) for a SC430 into my SC300 and I noticed one night when I was going down a very very dark road that when I activated the HighBeams the light output was below average.

I hardly use the high beams but I agree the time that you need it, it better deliver.

The high beams work together with the HID's right?

So can I just disconnect the radio antenna? Sounds like FM still works, I don't care about AM. I don't need to shave mine, as long as it stops telescoping. lol.

Default IS-F Wheels

I had a set of 19" Rims & Tires that came with the SC. The tire size was 245/40/19 verses 245/40/18 which is 25mm taller than the Stock Tires. I chose to install those onto the IS-F front Rims because I like the fact that there would be more meat on the Rims and because of the fact that I would later be installing 275/35/19 Or 285/35/19. These are the closes match
245/40/19 OD = 679mm
275/35/19 OD = 675mm
285/35/19 OD = 682mm
Also the IS-F wheels came with 255/35/19 OD = 661mm so the SC is not sitting right. The tire would be replace shortly.
Tire spec.
Stock Tires
245/40/18 OD = 653mm
IS-F Rear Tires
255/35/19 OD = 661mm

Was the front headlights a direct swap, ie no body mods?

Electrical work I can do, but I don't like doing mods to the body or bumpers if possible.

Direct Swap with no Mods needed if you do the 2006+ Bumper with the HeadLight Swap

Who did the install of the Viper 5704? Is it DIY or you need a pro for installation? Please tell. This is really nice.
