Lightbulb Sway Bar Bushings

I got bored today and decided to put in the Polyurethane Sway Bar Bushings and HID's for my fog lights.

It made a pretty big difference for such a small upgrade.

I highly recommend it. It may induce just a little bit of under-steer but it makes cornering more predictable in transitions.

Sorry just now seeing this! Scotia, yes the entire setup in the fog lights has been hard wired in. It's not a plug and play installation by any means but if you've got a little soldering skills, some heat shrink, and some electrical tape you should be ok!

I replaced the running lights with LED's from Luxury Mods.
