^^ that sir is a spaceship.

 

I love them, they are way brighter and whiter than my original bulbs.

The only regret I have is not installing ZKW lens lol

They were cheap, too.
I bought them on kijiji for like $35 brand new sealed.
About the same cost as a night out to an all-you-can-eat sushi place lol

For an update on my TL, I just placed an order on DRL LEDs.
I don't think there will be a single incandescent bulb on my car after. (Except interior backlighting stays incandescent; I'm not soldering LEDs on all those radio buttons!)

 

So you're the guy who bought the Morimoto 5k bulbs from kijiji

 

lol maybe

I bought them from a guy named Nick

were you eyeing them too?

 

Maybe lol
I was going to meet up with Nick but Osram are the ones the I'm leaning on buying this year, his add at kijiji is still up, selling the other Retrofit parts

 

Stupid idea installing the rear lip in the winter. Had to do most of it inside including attaching it with the double sided tape, only to find out after when trying to re-install that it was too low and the bracket holes didn't line up with the lip holes. Ripped the left side off and mounted it higher, but then was left with a bit of a gap. Right side isn't even attached to the bracket right now, and I didn't want to rip it and risk another gap. I'll have to fix it in spring.

Car looks like shit from all the salt and dirt, but at least the lip kit is complete.

 

Still looks a pretty good install

 

I agree....looks like a nice install...

and you guys got balls of brass to go out there and install in the insane winter...MAD PROPS !!!

 

Haha my hands were going slightly numb today re-installing. Had to keep the garage door open to have enough room. Definitely wasn't nearly as cold as it has been recently though, so I was thankful for that.

 

Good job story your a brave dude to battle the elements outside

 

It sucks working in -15 degree weather but there's always a bright side of things lol



Glad you have everything together!

 

Risking frostbite for car mods....

 

Winter can't hold us canucks lol. Doing mods all year around

 

I see your keeping the beer on ice

 

So... My my car sat all day and the battery is too weak to start [although all my electronics is working on full power]. Hood latch cable is torn so I can't even boost it... looks like I'm stuck lol

 

That sucks! What are you going to do?

 

i was on costco.ca yesterday and i might order this product which would work for you. It's a solar powered trickle charger that plugs into your cigarette lighter. Go online and check it out.

i had to buy and battery for our Rav4 and install it in the open driveway after work yesterday....not fun.

 

New hood lift struts came in today, got a pair for bankz also

 

How much are they?

The ones on Amazon from "StrongArm" seems to be what most people on here use.

 

Btw guys stay away from DDM Tuning HID bulbs lol

5 months later and my passenger side is now like 5000k while my driver side is still 6000k. Not surprised since they were only $20, just warning people haha and yes i know, you get what you pay for

 

Exact same thing happened to wr00m's car (member in Ottawa).

He had DDMTuning bulbs I believe.

 

$90 for 2 pairs Shipping included from rockauto

 

who did your guys headlights? I wanna get some zwk lens installed and maybe add a usr clear diffuser

 

Don't you have the Type S headlights now? Why would you buy them in the first place and didn't ask JNC or Acktl05 in the first place to have a custom headlights ? Just my

 

I did mine, story05 did his own and wojo did robs

 

TegoTL did his own as well. He did the zkw-r swap too so I'd pm him if you have any questions.

 

I will pick them up this weekend

 

Wojo did my headlights as well

 

I did my own headlights, and some members came to me to help work on their headlights: shtewps, pnoyrice, DarkNite, TL Seth, kingston-1, JayBabak.

I don't "do" headlights; I merely just offer guidance and hands over a couple beers =)

 

THIS !!!

I have modded ever locals car and have never charged them a dime....the only way I work on anyone's car is if they bring some brewski

 

looking to do my headlights so bad, just so lazy

 

I saw videos of how to open latches manually... But they are all different designs so it's hard figuring ours out. Still can't get it open.

Wouldn't I need to leave the key in on acc to trickle charge it via the cigarette lighter?
And ah... yes the other day was windy and cold as hell!

My 3K HIDs are still going strong. The ballasts are even in working condition [I event went through 2 OEM ballasts while the DDM is still working]. Although I think one of my wires is loose... and one of the bulbs aren't lighting up. It momentarily flickers when turned on though. Of course... Can't observe what's going on due to the stupid hood latch

 

Try unbolting your hood latch from the frame, then the hood should open with the latch attached to it

 

This is what i bought: http://www.homedepot.ca/product/cole...ntainer/986477

"Installation through 12Volt DC Plug:
The 12 Volt DC plug is for connecting the Solar Battery Maintainer to the vehicle battery through a 12 Volt
socket. Plug the “Quick Connect” end of the 12 Volt DC plug into the Quick Connect of the solar panel then
insert the plug into the 12 Volt DC socket in vehicle. Make sure both ends are secure and aligned correctly."

 

Just got a dash-cam and need to hardwire it.

Does anyone know what place would sell 12V to 5V buck converters?

 

try radio shack or an audio store

 

just bought this, hopefully it works! Its on sale at CT for 19.99 (regular 29.99)
nvm. Clicked the link again just now and see its also 19.99 at the moment at h.d

 

Hope you guys never have to see this many codes (Indicated by the trio VSA, Triangle, and ABS lights on dash).

On really cold mornings, I would start my car up and these lights would come on 2 minutes after, car still idling, and I haven't even put it in drive yet.

Decided to bring it into a shop to get the codes read. They used a Snap-On reader (generic CEL readers won't pick these codes up).





Had the codes cleared after we had them read, and haven't seen the trio (VSA, Triangle, ABS) light up anymore afterwords

 

I have something similar. Had mine for a year now.
My buddy brought my car into the garage at school... cleared all stored codes. Then suddenly the VSA and Triangle came on...

He tried hooking up literally every single scanner we had in the school to try to read it. Nothing ever came up.
Even a new snap-on one.

Haven't bothered getting things checked since. ABS still works.
So, I guess one of my sensors is actually out.

 

The snap on scanner the shop used was like a 10 inch touchscreen it was so awesome lol

I think it was due to the cold weather and things froze.
