Sorry guys to keep having you wait for the final results. But when you work at a body shop without a vacation in the summer you have to take it when no one expects it..so i was away from work and my lovely TL for a little bit. But i should be puttin the lights back together after a little project...i will keep you posted. Thanks for being a fan of this project

Thanks bro. Im trying to make it to the top with this project almost 20,000 views. Never thought it be that big. I guess that carbon fiber roof was a great idea..

For the fogs in the headlights i just put leds in the housing. Made small holes around the housing. Used only three and wired them to the sidemarrkers so they can look like drl module. Looks great..i can turn my headlight fogs and bumper fogs with the side markers on no problem..
