The fronts are recessed way up in the headlight assembly, that there has to be this long handle/extension on the bulb socket. I don’t think I’d be able to get the extreme ones up in there. I replaced them from under the car. The relay that I got with the kit from Japan takes care of the hyperflash so resistors were not needed, plus it has 3 flash smart tap feature.

@JT2MA71 Is it possible to access the turn signal bulb front from under the car by unfastening the fenderliner and the undertray? I have rummaged around under the fenderliner before to replace fog lights, but I recall that there was something else preventing access to the headlight assembly.

Sold my HKS SSM axle back and factory midpipe so I could order a full ICODE titanium system. While that is being made, I bought a used Borla system locally for a good price, so I can drive the car and test the 3.13 diff. Cleaned it up a bit and spray painted the midpipe with some gray header paint and the mufflers spray painted black. The previous owner of the Borla got rid of the resonators so it’s a little loud, and it’s catless so exhaust smell is definitely strong. I had to make an O2 sensor socket since the longer one I normally use can’t fit in between the frame rail and the larger diameter tubing of the Borla.
Anyways, I’m loving the 3.13 diff. Noticeable increase in wheel spins, car feels even more alive, revs go up much quicker of course when going through the gears. Cruising at 70mph in 8th gear is right at 2K RPM, so I believe this is the perfect balance between street and highway driving For me at least!

Is there any difference in flow with the icode? I ask because it goes to a single 3 inch pipe, while the JoeZ has dual 2.5 inch pipes. It may not matter, but I’m curious. The weight savings is insane for an exhaust… I read roughly 48 pounds saved.

My LED upgrade is done, finally. I whittled down the OD of the first heat sink fin on the reverse light V6 Extreme's using a Dremel. It screws right in and the 1500 lumens/each are spectacular. I was able to get the VLED Amber 50's installed in the front from under the car, but if I ever do it again, I am pulling the front wheels for better access under the fender liner. I went with Amber 50's for rear turn signals too because the V6 Extreme's beefy heat sink interfered with the OEM LED parking light connector. I imagine there is a way to do this, but it was just beyond my patience so I returned them (bet you figured it out if your MY has the same design). Thanks again for all your help. Now when they look up from their phones, people might notice my turn signals. ;-)

I will have the rear tires mounted today. If my measurements were accurate, there shouldn't be a problem with fitment. I'll post some pictures later today. Front tires will not be here until sometime next week, I wish PS4S were available in the size combo I want, but I had to settle for some PSS 295/35/18 and 255/40/18.
