it's not difficult if you know what you're doing. if you're going to wire independent, you're going to add a new fuse or tie it into an accessories fuse.and ground as well as add a new switch.

Yeah I just watched a video on it. Seems doable but would probably take me at least a few hours. I saw the guy taking off his wheel as well to access that panel where the fog lights go. Unfortunately I don't have the tools for that.

By chance, happened to park next to a beautiful Atomic Silver IS 350 this morning.

Completed my wheel/tire and RSR Down install. While everything was apart I ceramic coated the wheels. Letting them cure and I’ll snap a better pick outside!

Wow this is the look I am going for. I love what you did. Kept the gloss black look but went bigger and wider. What size wheels and what tire size ?
And that looks like an is500 ?

Thank you- definitely the “theme” I was going for with this one. Roof is gloss black, all chrome is gloss black, the stock wheels, while beautiful, we’re just not the look I wanted. It’s a 350, not a 500… I wish!

Wheels:
Front: 20x9 +32
235/35/20

Rear: 20x10.5 +45
275/30/20

I actually wired it separately with it's own switch that way I don't have to use them when I don't need to.

Sorry for the double post. I wired them separately with it's own switch.
