I just did a quick search on ebay and the seller I got mine from (wx_led) only has the 7443 switchbacks in the type 1 style. He only has the 1157 bulbs in type 2. So maybe the 7443 type 2 120-LED switchbacks don't exist..?

they do but vleds is the only one that has em and they're 48 smd

type I is fine, especially for the price!

Gotcha...yeah, contemplated going back to the type s rear sidemarkers to keep em the same. I kinda like the all white sides of the car though.

Moar pics:

Preface...I didn't notice until just now, but my camera made the switchbacks and USR sides look slightly bluer than reality. They actually appear to match quite well in these pics, so I chose not to edit the overall color balance in PS hehe. For a better idea of the actual color of each, watch the video below.

This is why I love my D90. Most of these pics were shot at ISO 1000 and even after sharpening them a bit in PS, the image noise is almost non-existant. w00t.











Neat shot of my new LED reverse bulbs in action:


...and in case anyone missed the vid from the previous page (watch in HD):

Sounds good...I'm very satisfied with these 120 LED bulbs. Plenty bright.

I'm not really into the "ACURA" front bumper inserts, but who knows...I change my mind a lot hehe...

Dude, AWESOME shots! I love your car, and am going after a very similar external lighting setup... hope that's not too much thievery!!!

Also, sorry for gunking up your thread with some of my earlier questions. Like I just said, I'm using it for inspiration since it's the same car as mine (at least it left the factory that way!)

Thanks man, no problem. Ask as many questions as you want...I still consider myself a n00b, "thieving" off other people's setups on AZ. I wouldn't have bought my car if it wasn't for AZ.

Success! After two failed attempts at getting my car on an alignment rack, found a 3rd shop that got it up on there and got it done. Check out how horribly out of whack my rear toe and camber was before the alignment:



LMAO.

XLR8/ISC N1 coilovers. Yes, I've kept it at that ride height all winter. Haven't had any real snow storms yet, so it hasn't been an issue.

Car looks great man.

John-How's the ride quality with the sport/street ISC N1's? I still can't decide between the street comfort or street/sport lol.

^ Rides great. Just depends on what you want....if you want a nice firm right that isn't too stiff, street sport should be fine.
