I will gain 5hp more, right. If I were to paint, I would make the calipers the same as my body color, they would look more fit). Thanks for the video, too, but I will not paint them myself, I'll let the workshop do it

@Nick: You mean the white one? Well, I know the owner but I'm not his friend, he lives near my house and in the most expensive area, he has another white RX450h and his house is also in white. From what I've known, that car is probably 08 and has the Gulf Specs, Executive Package with PCS but without air suspension and HDD.

I'm not so sure because I had the mechanic wire it, but I know they didn't need to drop the front bumper, everything was done in less than an hour, very clean, no cutting involved. To mount it up, they used some kind of special glue and it's sticky as hell.

Nice!

Do they come on when you turn on the car, or do you have a switch?

I didn't make a switch, the LED turns on itself once the engine is started, I want it as the DRL.

Future mods:







BTW, can anyone translate these lines for me? What are the 3 choices? I cannot put them into Google Translate since they are jpeg files

Have you decided whether or not to go into your personal settings menu and disable the OEM DRL? I think the yellowness of those takes away from the nice white light of the DRLs
