So gonna use these for now since my bumper cover needs replaced and I'm gonna have to remove it at some point over the winter and whenever I remove the bumper cover, I'll probably buy and install a 6000k HID kit so that they'll match, but hey they'll do for now I guess. Just bummed cuz those of you that know me, know how anal i am and how EVERYTHING has to match so I'm really bummed these didn't match but I'll get over it, and deal with it soon enough
Couldn't stomach the color difference on the fogs, so I picked up a cheap set of silverstars and the color temp should be a lot more white than the PIAA's, so I'm gonna give those a shot because I can't bring myself to kick out more money for another set of HID's right now. Like I said whenever I swap the bumper over the winter I plan to get a set of HID's but for now I'll be happier with these I figure. Just couldn't deal with that color difference it was stickin out too much for me. It still won't match the 6000K perfect cuz the silverstars are 4000K color but at least they will look more like they belong.

I just spent $30 on silverstars, I trust them better than 1 cent ebay bulbs, even though they will probably be more blue/white I want something functional

Alright, so got the silverstars in, melted the solder off the piaa's, and soldered in the Silverstars. The output doesn't match still, but I'll fix that later with a set of HID's. But on the car, the projectors are white and no more orange light, so that's what I was worried about. The look on the car matches closer at least, here's a few pics.

Fogs next to the headlights, white not orange



At least it was $20 well spent, got $50 fog bulbs for $20 so it was worth the extra effort





Me showing off my headlights and fogs, SO much work and SO much money later. Also pretty drunk



Couple pics of the projector cutoff my boy took with his new phone.





So this was what I was waiting for. Now just gotta cut the stock oem fogs and brackets out, and drill the new holes and mount the projectors and the bumper goes back on

That's what I'm tryin to do

Moving this week, so gotta find time to cut out the stock fogs so I can get the new ones mounted to put the bumper back on, also got some interior work to do, but think if I get the bumper on, I'll just move it and do the interior work in my bigger garage. I'll post some pics once i get the fogs in there

nice shots man

I am getting a hold of some new parts from my parts hook up again.

I will check to see if they have any fogs from a RX300 or a IS300, they would look bright with some nice bulbs.

hit me up later on my email joseph.j.giguere@erac.com and I will get some pics up of all my new stuff I will be selling

I'm good on the fogs Joe, I just need an h3 hid kit, I'll get one soon enough. Just remember to put your stuff in the BM, and not advertise it in here or i'll have to delete it.

I'm not one to advertise where I live, when you're dumping all this money and time into a show car, you don't really want everyone in pittsburgh knowing where your car is sitting

Anywho, small steps, bumper is ready to go back on once I mount the fogs, decided just to ghetto rig them since I'm replacing the bumper cover this winter so I'll be puttin the bumper and the hood on tomorrow Anyway, being anal, I had to replace the corners with something brighter because after I smoked the headlight corners, and bought smoked corners for the bottom, I noticed that the light output through the smoked corners was limited a good bit, plus the PIAA's i had were only the super blues, and they've come out with way brighter ones, so I picked up 2 pairs of PIAA Extreme HID corners for the top and bottom, and boy what a difference. Here's some more teaser pics, since the bumper will be on hopefully tomorrow since i'm moving saturday



Before with the PIAA super whites on the smoked corner

Zoomed




New one


Like twice as bright


Looks like it belongs there now





Better pics of the fogs, they match pretty well too


Crazy output on these bad boys, you can see the CF illuminated with the projectors on

OMG, thats is gonna be so blue! you wouldn't last a week driving around here in toronto without being pulled over!!

Maybe you should have used amber bulbs to contrast a bit. What color are the turn signals gonna be? blue as well? haha that would be pretty crazy. But im sure it will come out nice when its all put together. Are you highbeams green??

High beams are green

Turn signals are chrome amber bulbs, probably soon to be replaced with amber led's. And the blue just shows up on the camera, they really just look white, way brighter than the super whites I had b4, after the tinting they just look orange, these look white. They match the fogs

Updated Pics

Had to put the bumper and hood on to move her to my new house, so here's a couple shitty pictures.

Couple of sweet panoramics my buddy took






New PIAA corners, look really blue on camera




Me and my baby, proud owner and sexy headlights. (Pic was not my idea)


Couple of outdoor camera phone pics










The smoked lower corners if anyone was interested


I'll get better pics up after i wash her

Yes that's the old bumper it's got 2 holes in it, but it was needed to move the car so I threw it back on her, but man the CF hood with the headlights is unbelievable. I really wanna get better pics cuz they flow so good together.

Where'd you get your PIAAs?
