HID upgrade, headlights and fogs

finally got around to installing my HID fog light kit, and new HID bulbs. for the fogs i got the McCulloch H8 6000k kit. for the headlight bulbs i used Kaixen 6000k D2C. i also gave up on trying to get a hyper white DRL bulb. so i decided to go the opposite route, i chose the Nokya hyper yellow 9005 bulb for my DRL's. i took some pics.

yeah, piss yellow lol. but i have to agree they look better than the white because you can actually see them in the day! the LED's i had before where hardly noticeable these fuckers are "hyper piss yellow".

yeah the kit was a bit pricey but i wanted to go with a better known brand kit, for quality purposes, i mean the $$$ must go to something else besides the name right?

Oh don't get us wrong, we're all about helping.

......when search has failed

you post dumb ass questions that have been covered exhaustively and comprehensively through a range of threads... you fail to research on your own and make others do your work for you.

do some fucking research cause you are annoying the hell out of us

No we don't have to go along with you. You need to use the SEARCH button. Almost every single question you have asked in this thread is answered in another thread. You're just being lazy and refuse to use the search button.

THANKS EVERYONE!

now sprtstr012! dude, just check out the the black market sub-forum in Sponsored Sales & Group Buys. there are vendors that sell all this stuff. like everybody has said you need to use the search option bro, thats the only way you will learn some some of this stuff and understand it. all the answers to all your questions can be found in the countless threads about fogs, hid headlight replacements, yellow DRL's.

if you're not that handy or mechanically inclined, just have a shop or someone that knows what they are doing do the work. to do the work correctly you'll have to remove the front bumper, there threads on that too if you search, check the TL garage tons of useful info there.

if you keep on asking tons of simple questions that have been answered millions of times people are just gonna get annoyed and are never gonna want to help you. search first, then if you cant find the answer search again, then if you still cant find an answer then ask.
