Well dagnabbit why didn't I think of that...lol...I already did but most people aren't up who aren't avid modders aren't really up for part-outs. 
Bummer really since most of those things don't affect price..just curb appeal. I'll invite them to the meet if they reply. 
Did I flash my lights at you the other night B? There was a TSX ridin blind right as I pulled outta school on Willamette the other night but it was late and couldn't see if it was yours.

I roll with my foggies on ALL THE TIME! Sunlight..fogs on..rain..fogs on..night-time..fogs on..foggy..fogs sometimes off cuz they have some glare so it's sometimes worse than just headlights..lol. Kinda counterintuitive for FOGlights but hey..gotta sacrifice functionality for looks sometimes. Although I am thinking about a projector fog setup before I tackle my projector headlight retro
I see it too often to not know about it..even know some people with the mexi-truck style. Gotta love curbfinders, bed-tops and wide, low-offset rims

^ i remember that.. im suprised he didnt argue that its for safety. you always see signs to turn on your headlights why not have just fogs on they arent always as bright..
its not like how it was 10 years ago when everyone had piaas and running 85w projectors..
got a nibble on selling the scion hopefully i can sell it soon

On page 112 of the Oregon Driver Manual it states: "A vehicle may be equipped with fog lights. The lights may be white or amber and the beam must strike the road not more than 75 feet ahead of the vehicle on which it is mounted. These lights are to be used in the same manner as high beam headlights.."
Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 811.515 Section (8) states: A light other than a headlight, that projects a beam of light of an intensity grater than 300 candle power shall not be operated on a vehicle: (b) when use of low beams of the vehicle headlight system is required under limited visibility conditions.
ORS 801.325 "Limited visibility conditions means: (1) Any time from sunset to sunrise; and (2) Any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles are not clearly discernible on a straight, level, unlighted highway at a distance of 1,000 feet ahead."
This is another one of those laws that they use as an excuse to pull you over. Do you think Johnny Law actually cares whether he had his fog lights on. When a police officer tickets an individual for a petty offense such as this they are neglecting serious offenses which could be occurring on other parts of that same road way.
Don't get me started...too late.

Rain late Friday according to Andy Carson, but Rodney says nothing until Saturday. Hmm, I don't trust that squirrel-y Carson, think he's on the Ritalin again.
Auxiliary driving lights and/or fog lights must be used like the high beam headlight system of your car. You must use a distribution of light or composite beam so aimed that the glaring rays are not projected into the eyes of the oncoming driver. Fog lights may be either white or amber (yellow). They may not be blue, bluish or any other color than white or amber.

and to argue the fact of whats listed about pure white actually has a hint a blue to it so the law in itself is Flawed
Kelvin Scale
Color temperature is measured in the aforementioned absolute scale, and is a measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being heated, as seen by the human eye.
The human eye sees low Kelvin color temperatures, such as 2400°K as red. We see very high color temperatures like 10,000°K as purple. And everything in between is important to your question about picking the right headlamps!
For example, look at this scale:
1500°K - Candlelight
2680°K - 40w halogen bulb
3000°K - 200w halogen bulb
3200°K - Sunrise/Sunset
3500-4300°K - Most Xenon Superwhite Bulbs
5500°K - Sunny daylight around noon
6000°K-7500°K - Overcast Sky, Some true HID Systems
8000°K-9000°K - Sunny blue sky, Some true HID Systems
10,000°K - 12,000°K - Purple hues at sundown
i should be a lawyer haha

That is all the world needs, another lawyer. That's how we got into this mess. Too many laws. Too many bad lawyers.
We need to get back to when times were simpler and the laws were few.

oil price went down to 100 a barrel and yet we are still at 4.25 a gallon for the good stuff to fill up.. wonder who is getting that extra cash right now.. funny how price of a barrel goes up and gas stations are quick to rise there prices yet when it goes down it takes forever for the gas stations to reflect it

· Power passenger seat.
· 2-key fobs with chip for driver memory on seat, side-mirrors, and radio presets.
· Auto dimming rear-view mirror.
· Phonebook transfer for Bluetooth.
· Acuralink Real-Time weather for the NAV system.
· USB input for i-pod or flashdrive.
· Lower rebound rate for struts (softer ride ‘08+).
· More sound deadening material.
There may be other changes that I’m not aware of, but for the most part it was all tech stuff.

There will always be people who claim that it never happened. The Republicans do not want Obama to get credit and have gone as far as saying that Bush deserves all the credit. Most of what I heard was out of ex vice president Cheney"s mouth, so no surprise there.

I can't speak specifically about the ’08, but we are missing the following from our ’07:
· Power passenger seat.
· 2-key fobs with chip for driver memory on seat, side-mirrors, and radio presets.
· Auto dimming rear-view mirror.
· Phonebook transfer for Bluetooth.
· Acuralink Real-Time weather for the NAV system.

· More sound deadening material.

What's up guys,
Just moved to Beaverton from the east side of town and need a tire rotation and alignment. Wondering if anyone knows of any reputable places that are reasonably priced.
THANKS!
