First you need the yellow fog lights. The GS fogs come in clear (for non HID cars) and yellow (for cars with HID). If your car does not have HIDs, you will need to get the yellow fog light housings.

Then, as you feared , you need an aftermarket 9006 HID kit.

Dman has the stock yellow fogs and then hooked an HID kit to it, I think 4300k? But I think the yellow is from the reflector lens in the fogs and if your car doesnt have the stock yellow fogs then you can buy them.

Carson Tuned? Or do you mean DSR. If the latter, then yes they are similar. I have not looked at both in details but apparently there are minor differences. This is the reason why D-MAN63 got the ABFlug.

Hey thanks everyone for the compliments !

Alredexiii, well I have the RMM brakes on now, its not truly a huge BBK, but BBK nonetheless ..

GS300Rich, nah I am keeping the wheels, my fav wheel of all time is this l-sports m1's, I looked at many other rims but nothing in terms of looks IMO passes the design of the m1's.

Tamr, yes the lights are that bright at night

GSdreams, I was thinking about the carbon fiber hood.. I need to do a photoshop of how it would look like on my car.. I don't want to overdo the color scheme if you know what I mean..

JohnGS4, I have the l-sportlines m1's 20x8.5/10's.

rominl, the variations from the abflug to dsr is if you look at the top bar, the dsr is thicker and curves slightly downward , which if you look at the abflug, all the bars pretty much goes straight across.. Little variations like this would bother the heck outta me..



Here is the side shot of the car with 5mm spacers.. In the coming weeks I am experimenting with the wheel setup... I am going to do some major surgery on my fenders in the next few days.

Here are some other shots with the HID fogs.. Like Rominl, Neo, and GS300rich said, I bought the Philips 4300k(wanted maximum light output) and installed it in the fogs(with yellow sleeve) to go along with my stock HID's with Philips 6000k bulbs.. To top it off, I have the 9-LED Xenon white bulbs in my inner light to match perfectly with my lowbeam.
