I need to update my shots but been lazy this year with editing. http://www.flickr.com/photos/happyd300/
Thanks - I used Nikon film and digital cameras for work such as D1 thru D3 and I wanted to have my own personal professional camera but after a long thought process, I settled with Canon because I wanted to try something else, plus the D7 was the best compromise.

What bulbs do you get to replace the running lights like in images 4 and 5 for the "purple" effect?

Where do you get them and how hard to install?

Like very much

The parking lights, I used this in ultra blue. They're pretty easy to install, takes like 10 mins including taking the engine cover on/off.

I'm surprised 5.0 don't mess with you cause of the blue lights. I know there small but show up really well at night.

^It's the fifth pic from the top, but I didn't change the fogs, I changed the low beam headlights. Here are the placement of the ballasts.

happy, the calipers look cool. I've wanted to do that myself. What was cost and how long did it take?

^They charged $95 for labor and $34 for the paint kit which they had to buy from outside as they only have black or white colors in the shop. It's a pretty good deal for me. It was just an hour job but I had the car detailed on it's exterior so it ended up staying at the dealer for the day coz I had to work.
