Few new pics - Upgraded DRL's/High Beams

I detailed the car this weekend and installed some new yellow DRL's/High beams as well, so I thought I'd get a couple pics showing the new lighting.

DRL's/High Beams are Nokya 9005 'Hyper Yellow' 2500K Stage 1 bulbs. They don't look as yellow in the pics as they do in person.






And just a couple pics showing the fog lamps as well. I changed these a while ago though. They're Nokya H11 'Arctic White' 7000K Stage 1 bulbs.

Looks really good. You have the opposite of me, I had the hyper whites for DRLs and HID 3K fogs...First picture just looks mean. I can imagine with Red DRLs...complete evil

Your car just looks pissed, like it's saying;

"WHAT?!?"

I just haven't felt like doing anything to mine for some reason, then again, when I do start, it's like smoking crack.

Thanks. Alltogether it took me about 8 hours I think? I did the interior the night before, that took me about 1-1/2 hours. Then I did the exterior Saturday morning.

I got the bulbs from Pitstop Tuning on ebay.

Man, that's one good looking car.

Unfortunately, with wife and two young kids, I don't have the time to detail my ride.

I have the rear aero bumper installed last week due to a small accident with a street vendor (she dropped her cart onto my right rear ). Will wait for the front lip from Marcus.

The ones you posted for the DRL's are exact. The 2nd set are close, but I would keep searching for Stage 1 bulbs. Don't get Stage 2.

I've got a wife and a 9-month old at home as well. You just have to lay down the law so they know what the priorities are sometimes. LOL

Too true. Sometimes a foot needs to be placed in the appropriate areas to remind some people of how things operate. LOL.

They call me the Warden at work. LOL.

Until now most of my cars have been black. It's a love hate thing. Nothing looks better then black when it's taken care of the way you take care of your car. Unfortunately the ugly side of that coin is it doesn't stay clean for long.

All that said, your car looks DAMN good and it's the only black one I've seen that makes me wish I had a black one as well. Good job, your ride looks sick.

I looked into the difference between stage 1 and stage 2 and it looks like Stage 1 is 55w (recommended and also the same as stock) and stage 2 is 80w which seems kinda high and I don't know if that's safe for stock wiring harness over time. That's my guess but I could be wrong.

I ordered the 2500K for the DRL and also the 7000K for the fogs. Cant wait, got both for around 30 bucks shipped. Not a bad deal. Thanks again DerwoodEE, your car looks sick as hell.

Anyone use LEDs for their DRL lights?

This picture shows a Civic with them installed and didn't know if anyone had them on their CU2.
