Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the JDM vehicles (i.e. Aristo, Windom) has the lighting control of turning the fogs on/off separately. They're a pretty common vehicle feature out in Japan.

thats so funny, i now go everywhere with the tripod, it helps the pics by 100% especially at night, if u wanted the pics 2 b gloomy than well done...good job..the 2 sec delay will help a ot but that mean u have 2 stay still while waiting 4 the camera 2 take the shot, i'm still working ona few things with wb and shutter speed, its so painful whe u'r used 2 just useing automatic all u'r life, but i c the difference already when playing around with it...good luck

yup, they can turn on the fogs without the headlights

i did the same set up on mine, i rewired my fogs through the parking lights when doing my fog hid's...

Yep, my foglights can turn on independently without having to turn on the lowbeam. It's a **** that you turn on the steering wheel.

Bluelex, I see you are getting the hang of your new camera now! Good job. I tried last night in my bedroom to take a picture with 2 sec delay, room lights off and only source of light coming from the TV and computer screen.

MAN! It's hard to keep still for 2 seconds while the camera searches for a point to focus before taking that pic. The nifty part is that the D70 has a very strong (almost like a highbeam) light that turns on for 2 seconds at the subject before it takes a picture. This helps to reduce grain/noise, allows you to drop the ISO setting and gain some light in the process.

But still, 2 seconds of complete stillness with no tripod is next to impossible!

Grrr....the new wheels are still at sea (i hope) from Japan.

And I am still waiting for the polished HKS upper pipes to compliment the Type-S intercooler.

Oh, and Alex also got me some nice polished shiny bling2 night pager stuff....

....and then there's a matter of that shiny oil catch can...

...and the defis......and the sways....and the lcbs......

HKGS300

most wheels are freight to the US here if you get a good seller

air freight isn't that much more expensive actually

Very nice pics, I love nite pics.

may I suggest something while u r on a roll with the new parts, I think your car looks great but get some color matching rear bumper sensors to complete the look, I'm sure HKGS300 can get u some.

jtanoyo1

Why? You don't like the grotesque bug-eyed black thingies staring back at you from my rear bumper?

gewe21

you have a good camera, now you need a good tripod.
May I suggest Markins M10 ballhead with Gitzo G1227 / G1228 Mk.II carbon fiber tripod ?
j/k you can always go to Mango Two or Glodok to get a decent one...

Wo! Some real C5's, what a nice change of pace from all the BS knock-offs rollin' around the US.....

jtanoyo1

Yes, only the real deal here....

...except these are so busted-up, bent out of shape, nicked, and scraped that I am forced to let them go in the next coming couple of weeks and replace them with newer, crazier wheels.....if they fit.

Rominl, I Will Prove You Wrong!
