Pics of JDM headlights, lighting upgrade,etc... getting ready to install
Just got my 06 JDM headlights, did the projector swap took about 10min., while I'm at it I slit the opening of the driver side intake duct using the showtime knife for the custom cold air remove the stock resonator and piping. Upgrade to the high beam H1 Polarg 5000k luxy white, H11 Polarg 5000K luxy white for the log lights, PIAA high intensity LED for the sidemarker and the new PIAA mirror orange beam for the front turn signal. The cool thing on the PIAA orange beam turn signal is it will not show that orange color when install on the housing but will only turn orange when light up. Also got the 3M fog/headlight protection kits and last but not least pic of the rear bumper plug for the single exhaust conversion. All done in one shot while the bumper is off the car.

I was going to get the headlight sooner or later but I couldn't just wait it for it 8 weeks or so and couldn't resist since heeltoe have it in stock so I just took the bullet and get it while the bumper is off the car I just figure might as well upgrade the lighting and stuff and do the cold air induction setup. It is pricey but if you want to go for that clean and sutle look this headlight will do it.

Well damn you just posted some insight into what bulb i need for my turn signals. I didnt know PIAA made a 7440 bulb like that! thanks bro.
Also, those LEDs are really white, check to see if they can replace your license plate bulbs...might make it look like the new Lexus vehicles.
