your rims like awesome, you just need some better lighting pics to REALLY show them off . I love your HID fogs and the yellow overlays. Do you have any issues with the high temperature of the HIDs and the yellow overlays?

i know, i need to find a nice parking structure around my area that doesnt have security guards coming by every 10 minutes lol.
as far as the high temperature of the HIDs......... i believe HIDs run cooler than most halogen?? these are 35watts so i dont think i'll have any problems with them running too hot.

probably so, but i am most likely going to "smoke out" my car (instead of blacking it out completely), so i decided i want rims that'd match what im doing to the rest of the car.

so you've disabled the yellow exclamation mark that comes on? surely that must be annoying if there isn't a way to disable that light. read somewhere on this forum, but forgot if there was a solution to that issue of non-TPMS wheels or not.

it'd be a hassle.
to take out the orange reflector, you need to:
1. take out everything electrical, so you can bake the headlights open without frying anything.
2. i believe the JDM headlights has "clear" corners in them instead of orange ones, so you'd need to find a shop to replicate that piece.
step 2 is important, after all i believe the reflector is what makes the light more "visible"
3. you gotta put everything back together lol.
it's a project that not even the bodyshop i use wants to tackle, he just said GET JDM HEADLIGHTS! haha go figure.
