Default Installed lTSPNY 6k lows / 3k fogs and V-LEDS 6k 194 LED City Lights l Epikeddie's GS

Hi guys!

I read up a lot of good info on changing out the lights and figured that I would post up some before and after photos of my experience. I still have the V-LEDS DRL 9005 HB3 LED Bulbs coming in for the DRLs with the modules so I'm not quite done yet. But here's what I have done so far......

Started with those pesky parking lights.....V-LEDS 6K White 68 LED 194 Bulbs
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED-B...94378-1-2.html




Once I finished up the parking lights, I noticed that fog lights looked boring so in went some TSPNY 3000K 9006 HID fog lights......





Starting to come along nicely with the other side in......





Once I was done with the LEDs and fog lights, I thought the low beams weren't bright enough anymore...... some TSPNY 6000K 9006 HID low beams were desperately needed.....






The final result.......





Thanks for all the help on getting this done guys! CL rocks!

Looking good!! It's nice to have the parking lights match the low beams.

I gotta do something like that. For now I have stock HID (4300k), 6000k parking lights, stock high beams and yellow fogs. Everything is mismatched...

Thanks guys....great info here and the install wasn't too bad with all the advice....

My advice...take your time and don't force anything. If you hit a wall, then step away and take a break....come back when you're not about to break your $40 LED bulbs lol

Agreed!

I actually have Q45 projectors on those shelves above the car but I've been thinking of maybe going the LS430 retrofit route instead for the better cutoff....

Still debating in my head though....

Do you guys retrofit the Q45 projectors?

I might be interested in using services plus the other goodies like the LED turn signals and etc. You have a PM coming your way!

I had the DRL LEDs on order and have been soooo busy with work that I didn't get a chance to post any updates. So everything went smoothly and I got a chance to hide all of the ballasts, wiring harnesses, and make everything look OEM.

Here's how the new 6K 9005 DRL LEDs look!




I'm pretty done with lighting mods for now as I can see this can get a little out of hand. I did order new lower ball joints and new Daizen bushings since I'm planning to change up the stance pretty soon......
