Actually I was chasing these creaking and squeaking noises that would usually occur during colder temperatures. So I began reading on this forum and discovered the problem with the LBJ's. I got paranoid and decide to replace them and while I was at it replaced the castor arms (cause I thought they were causing the squeaks) and other parts. Just recently my mechanic told me it was the upper shock mounts that were causing all that squeaking and creaking. So, I pretty much wasted all that money but I learned a great lesson. Anyways sorry for the long winded response...and no it does not have OEM hid lights. But I am looking into getting some aftermarket ones.

Ahh i understand and alright i was just wondering, its weird how some sport designs have them and some don't but they have heated seats and others don't. Usually these options are grouped together.
