Default New photos with minor face lift *4/16/2010*
Went back to OEM HID headlights, 3000k HID kit for the fogs (I'm part of the lime green crew now), OEM amber side markers with SMD LED wedge bulbs.

I'll be listing my S2K retrofits FS sooner or later...

Future plans: spacers, lower drop eventually but I just paid for an alignment so it might be awhile, and LS400 brakes up front (really need these since my brakes are out)




*photos shot with a Canon XSi, I'm a noobie so they didn't turn out all that great ha.

The retrofit needs some major TLC so I decided to just buy some new headlights.

I haven't driven at night yet I hope I'm not disappointed about not having a cut off anymore

Yeah I really like that lime green...I might try to go really high in temp to get a super blue color to mix with the yellow to get a green output.

Front and side looks good, now you just need to finish it in the rear. Doesn't flow with the rest of the car.
