I use Flickr, JJH, but thank you, sir. 
I JUST use photobucket for my DIY's and stuff I upload from my phone. It's easy, but I hit my 10G grandfathered limit. BUT, they're FOS because it says I have 56% full...so they're just trying to strongarm me into getting a paid account.
NOPE!

Yes Austin...with the switchbacks gone, and amber back in corners and Osram CBI with NO blue in them for lows...the 6k HID in the inspire didn't match. I already received a set of 5K bulbs for $10 off of ebay...I'm trying to match the Osram NO YELLOW BUT NO BLUE low beam output perfectly.
The other change is that I'm now maxed on my teins front and rear...and camber has been cut back slightly for drivability. Fronts are -1 Camber, Rear is -1.5.

Me either...and since it glares up above low beam line, it's gotta go. Too many colors going on with the teal and amber and yellow and white of the lows.
That said, fog/drl is going to be amber led, fog will be 5k to match low. That'll flow much better. BUT, I only paid $12 for the yellow bulbs so not worth shipping back for refund/restock fee etc. I'm such a hoarder!
Even with this lens, looks at that narrow field...awesome for something so mundane to look artistic! John, will do, man.
and it is Friday, so here's a little booty.

That little flower would probably look much better zoomed in on so it fills more of the frame.

Thanks Thanh! Funny, I worked SO hard to get rid of amber and get the all white all around...then down the line, 1 failed purple HID and bam, it started a revolution of getting new low beams that didn't match...and then I realized I was really missing the amber/red sidemarkers and parking lights when I'd see other TL's.
I think, when I've gotten the front down to just 2 colors...it'll look great.
And the ZK Dub reps matched with the CBI Osrams Holy heck are they bright.
Look at how wide that 18mm can go! Looks like I'm running some SERIOUS negative camber!

Just zoom in on it, doofus. You don't have to have a macro lens.

That would be a different picture. That would be a mediocre picture that YOU Might take. I was trying to see if the lens would focus on something that wasn't very obviously the foreground.
I learned what I can from you already. Now back to your cage!

Damn Jeremy....just when I thought your photos could seriously not get any better....
the new shots are fucking awesome !!!
every time I mention the car is looking stellar but this time I shall comment a little bit (please take it as constructive criticism...I am just voicing my opinion)....now since that is out of the way,
I am not liking the yellow upfront one bit....your car had a very nice flow to it with the black and blue-ish headlights/lower fogs/upper fogs/switchbacks....then the teal added to the look, without taking away from the flow....but the yellow just takes away from the car....I think I was wrong in telling you that amber lights will look awesome in the indicators.....
I hope you revert back and post some more sexy pix....now the buttt LOOKS HAWT !!!
and I know the flip flop shot was for me

Yes sir...I do appreciate your time taken to make the criticism and definitely the compliments. Honestly, it's a domino effect. New low beams, BAM, they don't match ANY of the bluish-white I had going on. Then once the signals were back to amber, no longer wanted the bluish white drl, then didn't want white sidemarkers anymore.
Give it a shot...what I'm going for is a SUPER OEM look...like, what Meko had going on, basically, but with a better matched 5K inspire HID. We'll see, if I'm not happy, I'll still mess with it a bit to make it better. You know me, I'm never really DONE.
I agree on 1 front though, no matter what...the yellow has GOT to go. It'll ONLY be crystal clear white white and amber up front...nothing else. No more DRL in yellow and no more yellow in inspire. I knew as soon as I put the yellow back in, that I'd gone backward in my modding.
Last one, but I think it shows the Amber and how well it flows pretty well.

I've been thinking about going amber for parking lights as well, would be interested to see how those look at night or in the shade. kinda hard to tell how the light scheme looks in the daytime.
just an idea for ya, as of now, I have the parking light functionality deleted, so amber blinkers only (see avatar). downside to that is, no blinker flash when you lock or unlock the car.
car looks great!

Hmmm...well, I don't think I'd end up deleting parking light functionality...I really like how it looks lit up from the side.
Anil, I'm always working on things, Can't say that I disagree with you wholeheartedly...so it's a possibility. I also know this might be retaliation for my
on your headlights!

ohh hell no....
Buddy I dont retaliate. I just think it complicates the situation....if I have something in my head I speak it out
I was drooling all over the shots and I did tell you to try the Amber indicators since I switched back 2 years ago and love the contrast....but I think with your mods and the way the car is, i like the white better...
as for my headlights, you did give me your 2 cents....the fact is, I love them...they are different and certain angles, they just make me fall in love with them every time I decide to go a different route LOL....but yeah I have considered switching them out

Duh, that's why I have 2!
ha ha...
I will admit that I agree...the white flowed really well with all the teal etc. I'm going to see how I feel once I install the amber in the drl and 5k bottom.
About your headlights, they look very unique and you love em. I don't dislike them, per se...I'm just not in love with them enough to attempt anything like that.
If I still feel the same way, the white will make a come back in the very near future. Fair enough?
