I'm worried about the drl's not putting out enough wattage for an HID. Could you elaborate on how you wired your headlight assembly? Thanks!
the city lights that are in the high beam housings have been disconnected and are routed for the halos. I am not currently using the halos. just not sure about them right now. was cool in the beginning but it doesn't flow with the car as much personally anymore. i think i will put them on a switch to have them on or off whenever i want.

as for hid on the low beams the ballasts should take care of any voltage issues. just stay away from those cheap hid kits.

with silver paint the rims should be the same color, they look better that way, I used to have chrome rims on but they did't look good.

Wow your GS has come a long way I remember reading all your old post about all the mods that you did to your car and the photo shoot that you did that made your car look awesome that even and ad on ebay used the image of your car without your permission. Best GS on here that i've seen your up there with Blue Lex and Yakuza Project build man awesome machines

Love everything on your car all the mods are well done congrats on your GS

Question I don't see your front mount intercooler in the new pics did you go back to N/A?
