of course!!
Got a couple of things done tonight. Got my tailgater switch hooked up, got the throtle body coolant bypass done, got to condition the leather on the seats, and adjusted the shocks damper a little bit. looking for a little softer ride. We shall see tomorrow.
Still waiting on a response from supercomputers about the defect in the door sills. Ill post pictures up when they are all working right. Dont want to post anything up thats half a**ed
I carry four5's like change for a twenty!!!!!!!!!!!

I can live with the number. 75 is a good number also


Gonna be doing the relay / independant switch mod coming up and am thinking about swapping ballasts and bulbs in fogs to:
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=160
but should I just get this kit to get the relay I need as well?
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...oducts_id=3952
and buy the 3000k D2S bulbs for fogs and use the 5000k bulbs for headlights???
Or would it be better to just get the ballast and bulbs for fogs in D2S and get the D2S 5000k bulbs and get the relay harness like in the DIY write up.
I am willing to redo anyway because I need different fog bulbs and I never did like the 8k headlights that are already in the car.
Plus my ballasts flicker on my fogs and would like to kill a couple birds with one stone when I take my bumper off again.
Any advice will help because I will be buying all required stuff to have it by next weekend.
And crabby numbers don't matter just needed to change my sig, and my stickers on my car and my t-shirts I had made and get the tattoo (tramp stamp) re-done to show the correct number.

As far as the relay pack goes, I had to use it and followed the DIY to a T. Not sure how it would have worked without it. Works like a champ though. I have 8000k bulbs in my headlights and 8000k bulbs in my fogs and it matched perfect.
I would just leave the ballasts in the headlights alone and get some replacement bulbs if you dont like the 8000k and just get the h8 hid kit and harness for the fogs on ebay.
and ive done about 3 TL's including mine.
like I said in the text, take your time.
Emmanuel got mad at me for throwing away my old rotors. LOL
i started modifying and since no one else had the TL at the time, I just threw the old rotors away. they were perfectly fine.
then along came Jon. with his type-s.
Yeah not replacing ballast for headlights. Just gonna get 5k bulbs and take the 8k's out. So they match my switchbacks.
I just want to replace my fog hid ballasts with better ones and get 3k bulbs but for the ind. fog mod I will need a relay kit either way. So for ballasts, bulbs and relay I figured 150.00 wasn't too bad. Another 35.00 or whatever for headlight bulbs.
My fogs now are the AMP style and was going to convert everything to D2S without having to use a switchover harness to keep everything simpler for later on.
I am in that group buy for the rotors/pads as well. And I will be keeping my rotors (after turning them) and pads (75% life left at least) but with the new rims the brakes show a little more.
That way I will only have to paint my rear calipers and swap brake lines.

Got the requisite maintenance done:
Trans fluid
Oil/Filter
Cabin Filter
Brake Fluid
Time to start modding... probably simple lights first: ordered License plate LEDs and Reverse Lights (Cree). Got my fog light overlays from BlueBat, so, once the digital HIDs get here, its off with her face!!!!

I'm thinking about getting one of these since I recently got a warning from a state trooper for not running my front plate:
Definitely not going with the motorized one bc the chances are very good that I'll destroy the whole thing on a curb.

yea... its plausable. only problem is that i dont like how you can still see it underneath the bumper when its down. Ive seen a couple peoples pictures on here that have them and i cant justify it. Plus im with you, im sure that it will get destroyed on a speedbump or something...












haha JK.
