haha well what can i say, im a poor high school kid and didnt want to use parents' money for mods since they bought me the car already:D

KmoTsX 03-30-2010 12:42 AM

^ wow been there now im a poor college student haha, i just do bi-anual mods when tax return comes around and invest in some of the more expensive mods with the cheaper mods around the year.

09TSXTech 03-30-2010 01:01 AM

Great job :thumbsup:

You should have removed the resonator when you had the bumper removed, but you can do that when it's time for paintmatching the front grille.

ed_423 03-30-2010 01:01 AM

haha yeah man. its so hard to find a job, especailly when im a high school kid. lol but thas ok. more years to come!

I believe those mods ain't so expensive lol. Did you use the real HID fog or just bulbs?

ed_423 03-30-2010 02:18 AM

hha ur right. its not, its one of those small mods that makes the car looks good :D
and its HID. i used the ddm hid kit. orginally was gonna use the hidextra kit, but oneside didnt work and my freind jsut so happen to have a new ddm kit in his trunk.

Tishkevich 03-30-2010 06:30 AM

Got more balls then me I still haven't installed my intake cause i'm worrieda bout taking the front bumper off lol

thunderbt3 03-30-2010 07:41 AM

Where did you pick up the LED's? Ebay? If so could you recommend the seller?

ed_423 03-30-2010 07:53 AM

LOL nah tish, i only had the huevos cuz my friend knows how to do it:tomato:
and i got from ebay seller warden_jp2002. it was recommended in the interior led post and the bulbs fit greats. took like two weeeks to get the package though cuz they shipped from hongkong.

kowloonsniperhk 03-30-2010 09:05 AM

Congrats on your first mods! Heh I was in your shoes with my first cars, having the car stock for awhile and finally being able to get those same exact mods. Took me a year too lol. and those were essentially the first mods i did within the first two weeks I bought my car lol

ttk5 03-30-2010 03:18 PM

awesome job man, LEDs are an awesome mod because they are very affordable yet make your car really stand out at night! For the foot well lights did you just change the bulb?

rastaracer 03-30-2010 05:51 PM

looks really nice, i jus changed all my interior lights to led's last week too.

CU2MIKE 03-31-2010 12:51 AM

Nice.

denot 03-31-2010 08:35 PM

Guys, quick question about using SMD/LED on the dome light... do you leave the dome light on "turn on when door is open"? Coz from my understanding, when you close the door and lock it, the light will dim until it off (on the OEM).

I thought LED cant do this (will get short circuit easily if it keep on pushed to do this)

Any comments please? at the momment, I use a white 31mm bulb (non-SMD/LED) and the light just too dark...

It's Clutch 03-31-2010 09:04 PM

Great job. When will I see this in person?

ed_423 04-01-2010 12:35 AM

^haha maybe a meet? :D

I've had LED bulbs for over a year and I have no problems. And yes they dim nicely :thumbsup:

Tishkevich 04-03-2010 08:33 AM

man dude , I was going through my trunk on wed ( its where I keep all my car parts sad right? ) and I noticed the damn headlight replacements I bought were 5000k .. You think thats a waste? Lol It's gonna look just like stock bleehh, I'm so sad what a waste of $10 how ever many months ago

ed_423 04-03-2010 12:29 PM

^ no worry tish, u can always sell it :D

jeffmelendez 04-13-2010 08:34 PM

I have mine for a little over 10 months and am seriously considering these mods since they do not cost as much as other mods done by other members here. nice job...
