HID Fog/LED DRL Installed - PICS

I finally got around installing the HID fogs from morimoto and LED DRLs/Parking from V-LEDS. Im pretty happy with both and feel its worth the upgrade. The pics are below:

TRS Morimoto 4300k Fogs.I'm pretty happy with the color matching the low beams.

As you can see form the pics below, the there is no light from the fogs above the low beam cut-off so no blinding the traffic issues.

CKL_CPA that looks neat! Thanks for the pictures.

I plan to do something similar, infact i am following another member on mdxers forum to have mine done exactly like him.. I will post pictures below of his car with the leds/bulbs he used.
For now, i have placed orders for various led bulbs but am waiting for them to arrive. I guess by monday they should be in.
I brought most of my leds from v-ldeds but for the parking lights/corner (click for image) markers i went with ijdmtoys, want to replace those amber lights to 6000k, and for this ijdmtoys have something thats the brightest out there its a 450 lum bulb. Look below.

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/High-Power-...t10-sku323.htm

The door courtesy, trunk courtesy leds are from vleds. Oh and for the footwell area i am using the ultra blue leds thats from ijdm too.

I will be replacing the stock low beam/head lamps as well, for this I have placed an order for Philips Ultinon 6000K D2S as well from Xenon Depot (link) From what other members have reviewed about this particular bulb is that its not contain that much of a blue tint to it, infact its the brightest of the white out there among all bulbs.

I will be waiting for another month to replace the Fog along with the DRL when the V3 Triton comes out from v-leds, might go with Volt HID kit (link), they have a very good reputation amongh CL and Bimmers forum.

Now coming back to what i want my car to look like..









Found DriftKings setup to my liking and hence have picked up tips from him. Although i am going the philips ultinon route where as he went mtec.

Now a couple of pics of my car to show you the Advanced Running board I installed a couple of weeks back. This pic was taken after a car wash using the Foam Cannon and a Pressure washer at home.





Love the beading.. after the car wash using the right soap and technique.

Any updates on the LED DRLs? Any dash warnings for "bulb out"?

This is exactly what I want to do for my 1st mod, how much & where did you get the HIDS for the fogs to match the Headlights?

nice job on the lights. I've been running the LED DRLs for over a month with resistors and have had no issues. I abandoned the HID fogs for the time being. If i read the OP post#4, i dont know if putting a 6k white bulb will come out right behind an amber cover. I went with another amber LED 360 from vleds and it makes it a brighter yellow than stock.
