I also hope so. Everyone ref me to eBay buys for switchbacks vs more expensive SB. So, I am hoping there is no difference.
Well, I have none as of yet. I forgot who it was that ref me to buy the LED SB solo and ref me to a DIY link for the resistors seperate. So, I have the LED's w/no res. as of yet. I will do the reserch and look for the link...or u r more then welcome
I am flattered Swoosh, Thanks u sir

Don't need the link, my friend. I already have it done...
I may have even been the one to point you to it.

Hmmm... I just may get LED turn signals for the rear. But as it stands, this is only for the front. I did read somewhere u can install the resistors of the rear tail wires for all for corners making it dramatically easier install. Maybe I will hold off on installing the LED SB for the front until I do the rears also. One problem! I just hope its not that hard of a job/project to get to the front bulbs again EX removing the bumper and stuff again. I don't see why it should be hard but being that I have never replaced any bulbs on the front headlights as of yet. Anyone to confirm the task?

The grille, I read that a while back when I was getting mine re-painted the first time... as for all the bulbs, that is pretty much what I was confirming or asking above. Because I am thinking about installing ACCORD fog kit and JcC's headlights in one shot...then later on doing the LED SB later w/resistors all 4 corners. And with doing that I was wondering if these bulbs are accessible w/o removing the bumper cover. But in full detail specifically as u listed concludes and answers my question in full. Thanks! Now u made me learn something today...Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Headlights totally transform your car, J...looking great.
I thought you did your own work, like install etc...
Anyway, 1 why did your wheels get taken off for install? Where are your hood dampers?
Also, the fog install takes quite a while all on it's own. Doing them separately is probably better.

...as for the wheels removed... IDK IMO it was easier to get behind the wheel wheel cover and get to the one screw to seperate the bumper and fender much easier. Plus, like I said when u have the fast easy to use tools...why not. It was 2 min each side
...and LAST, as for my dampers...Geeeeeeeeez! Long story. But they are on their way from BRUCE/ACK05TL. They are there laying on the fender edges...But with no placement clips and no ball ends on the hood to attach to... Guess where the ball ends went?... YEP! U guessed it I am sure. To Kenny when I sold him the CF hood. I forgot to remove em. Yeah, I know.
And YES! That is what I am getting from the fog light mod...Very time consuming on its own and like I mentioned, most my work is after hrs since I am limited to wk from my drive way. Plus I am waiting for MONDO to return to get the grilles. So it all works out.
Anything else? Is that all RS143? lol

That is all, sir.
Don't feel too badly, my oem dampers took a dump on m last year, the hood dropped on my head one day. So good to replace them.
I got you on the rims...I am just used to cutting the wheel left, then right to get all the screws out.
Either way, looking great, ma man.

On the lift, I agree...easier to remove the wheels. But I can't use an impact gun on my sockets so in my case, much easier to cut the wheel 1/2 a turn, just enough to get at the screw. The tire width doesn't play much into it in this case...

That's exactly why I never opt to get those fancy aluminum lugs. I want more "Practical" function then style. And when possible to get both, that is a bonus! Closed end lugs for me and my app are perfect. Put on and off drive way style or shop style Grant it, those EX. RAYS nuts and alike are sure nice and add a lil fine detail as to finishing touches to sweet feet, like more JDM driven brands...Like yours. But mine? just would seem outta place... Maybe not...either way. They look dope on some wheels and not so much on others.

Josh finally you put a nice avvy rather than the scary joker avvy !!!
but yeah am a guy who likes to club my work, so fogs would have gone in the same time as the headlights....headlights is more of an 30 minute thingie when you have your bumper off....so even if fogs take 4-5 hours (which it will with all the dremel-ing and fitting and dremel-ing and fitting) so you are done over a Saturday rather than poping your bumper off twice....
and just a word of caution....do not use power tools on any lugs....i took my car in to a cheap shop for tires (was out of work and needed tires)....this places sells all 4 tires, almost new, installed, balanced for $150 !!! so went in there and he had prolly 500 miles on this Fuzion tire....got em installed.....and the dude used an impact on 3 of my lugs when i was paying at the front counter....NOT a good idea....those studs had to be replaced....so just a work of caution for my bothers !!!

Pennywise the clown still gives me nightmares.
Don't get me started on tire shops and their air guns. Even if they tell you they use a torque wrench on the lugs, don't believe them! From now on, whenever I need tires put on, I'm taking the wheel off myself and bringing it to the shop. No one touches my lugs but me!
Great progress JayVee, car looks so mean with the new headlights. The headlights really tie the whole car together.
