I think i have ordered the same headlights
Good choice, they look great and are a direct fit. However, you may want to seal them a bit better as they were not sealed very well. (if you look back in my thread I actually had a fair size spider get into my headlight and started making cobwebs)

Car looks good, i'm not a fan of your rearlights though.
I know, its kind of wack lol. I need to do something about them, but it really confuses people

Yea, Im pretty sure those are just dust spots and micro bugs and various debris picked up from the camera flash, plus with low batteries and not focusing proper.
I washed my car today and it was another full moon out so I got some better pics, but I didn't go back to the graveyard lol
In the last pic, that light isnt the moon, its just that night light post. The flash didnt quite pick up the car very well, but it looks neat.

OK, well I thought I had cancelled this order as I seen my payment was refunded back to my paypal, but yet this order showed up before all of the LEDs I didn't cancel.?..
I dont mind though. I installed a set in my front turn signals and they totally surprised me. such a difference. They even blink faster plus brighter! I made a quick vid to show off the rapid speed. (edit: oops, forgot i have to upload to youtube). heres a pic though
Both turns are equally matched too and look great, cant wait for the parking lights.
Whoa! where did that bug come from! lol

Yep, they can be seen in the day. heres another vid:
I also tested the white LEDs for my trunk garnish but as Gold94 warned me, they do not illuminate the red lens. It just looks white. So I just left the regular leds in.

You can stop the quick blinking by changing the rely unit thing(i forget whats its called). The factory unit needs a 100% constant voltage, the slightest change makes it blink faster, its to let you know if you have a blown bulb

I decided to pull the green ones and replace them with the white leds I got for my trunk garnish. The green kind of looks like underglow, which is illegal here Plus it doesn't look as cool as I thought it would. I like the white leds though.

The Green looked pretty sweet, but the white looks best, imo. Also, are your driver side tails brighter than your passenger side?

It does appear that way. Ive honestly never noticed until you mentioned. Its very possible since Im still using the stock bulbs from my stock tails lol

Im going in for brake work tomorrow. Not sure whats going on. They have been making a rubbing noise for the past couple weeks and I have a lot of vibration in the pedal. It still stops normally but from 0 to about 30 km/h I can hear a rubbing sound. Past 30 km/h the wheels are spinning to fast to hear it but I can still feel the vibration in the pedal and the vibration is stronger the faster I go.

And the results are in: Bad Rotors I this one explains the rubbing sound I was hearing and heres the old pads
So I ended up getting new rotors, new pads and had the rear brakes serviced. Its such an amazing improvement and it feels so smooth now, and alot safer too lol.

Man those rotors looked horrible. Such an awesome feeling when your car runs the way it is suppose to. I think it's now a good time to look towards some lowering springs!

Tell me about it, those rotors were so bad, I think they were affecting my performance. I have a lot smoother and slightly quicker acceleration now. I couldn't even imagine the comfort a new set of struts and springs could bring me. I cant wait!
