Smile Everyone post your very first DIY mod..

-- Note the word "DIY", which means it's a mod done by yourself, not by others

I'll get started. It was the Sylvania Silverstars installed in my previous ES. I remembered thinking it'd be a tough mod, but thanks to CL, I installed the mod in 15 min.

My very first DIY mod was on my 1st car (95 Accord) back in '98, I installed clear turn signals!!! (And thought I was the MAN!!)


On my 96 GS, it was those Hi output blue bulbs (head and fog)

The first DIY mod was the IS300 fog lights. Since then, I have done quite a few such as the eyelids, is300 fog lights, clearing the headlights(thanks for helping me jmai22), and intake.
