hey can I switch from #40 to that vacant #13?

Decided to do a little $12 mod, enjoy! (picture quality sucks, from my cellphone**)

Out with the LEDs, in with CCFL tubes

$6 each from Fry's Electronics


Before and after photos (not only is it brighter than my previous LEDs, but theyre also more white and practically identical to what Lexus has goin on) Will have side by side comparison shots with my friend's ISF soon!

yeah, i love the look compared to LEDs especially since ALOT of people in my area are rockin LEDs. I havent even installed reflective tape or foil on the inside of the trunk yet, didnt have any handy at the time of installation. Time to deal with all the damn screws/clips that hold up the trunk liner...

hvac reflective tape helps a lot, my license plate is tinted.. and cathodes give off enough of light to see the plate at night

If we have any say I also agree that we should keep 13 open.

Hotels don't have a 13th floor why should we have a 13th member lol.

I wish my rims werent all eaten up. Those do look nice and really brings out the white caliper.
Got bike sold and out of garage, have to swap out tranny in wifes van next days off then will have time to wire up car for amp and iSimple.

Once it gets colder I will be sending headlights out to get freshened up. I really like the dual ZKW-R projector setup and bought some plastidip to do the grille while headlights are MIA.

Car should be under the knife over the winter to be fresh for spring.

Really want to get coilovers now also. Ride just didn't get as low as I was hoping with springs.

Thanks. I may need two more. The other side isn't straight and I should have put them on lower.

Did anyone else have a hard time getting them to stick? Maybe it's just my dumb a**

I never get tired of looking at pics of a TL-S.

Damn legend you got your high waters on lol. Clean though.

And ^ I also agree on you will like the visors. I wasn't sure either but with tinted windows they really stand out in a positive way. Would have to say one of the best useful visible mods and they are a factory item.
