what im saying is if you plan on turning the car back in i wouldnt bother but if you think your going to end up keeping the car go ahead. but at the end of the day its up to you if you want to worry about changing them lights out when you turn the car back in.

Anything you do to a lease car probably has to be un-done when you turn it in.

I'm not sure why so many people pump money in to a leased car then strip it when they turn it in.

its not worth the hassel to mess with a leased car when there gunna give you hell for messing with the car when you give it back. Baking those headlights just to put angel eyes in them is not worth it on lease in my opinion.

How much to put them in? If it's not too much, it may be worth it. I guess if you're doing it yourself it shouldn't be that much- just some of your time!

Post pics if you do!

Throwing money at big mods is a waste of your hard earned dollar-unless you buy the car. You never get your money back from the mods when you turn it in. Not even from the small stuff (ie: tints). Unless you can take the mod off the car at the end of the lease and resell it to someone.

+1, on my 01 CL-S I had a Pioneer AVIC-D2, with XM, NavTraffic, and iPod [with video and audio] hookup, and I wasn't getting anything for that. Luckly, the Acura sales guy told me that he might buy the navi unit for his son, we agreed on a price, and i went to his house to install a factory headunit in the car, and that's how i got 800bux for the sound system [including an amp and 2 subs in an enclosure].

Definetely don't put angel eyes on your leased car. You have to apply a very strong glue to attach the angel eyes onto the housing. if you're about 1 foot away, you can still the glue marks.

Go for things you can easily swap in and out if you must. I would say exhaust, cai, etc.
