I bought these for my CRV and they are bright AF! 6k matches perfectly to our headlights, and light output is phenomenal. 2 year warranty and PnP. ( I was gunna mention that I have found that 6K LED match best to OEM headlights, however 5k HID match better than 6K HID... idk why)

Yeah, here are the pics below... but I don't have a professional camera so it's hard to take pictures of headlights. I have 6k VLED tritons on the turn signals, some cheap $30 6K HID for the projectors (see what I mean about the blue), And then the 6K LED fogs which I mentioned in the link. You can see the 6K LED's match perfectly to the white OEM LED DRL. (This is pretty much the same color as our TSX projectors)

I made a post regarding upgrading to the V6 battery using OEM parts in the performance parts and modifications section. Its gotten a lot of views but no replies Basically I am not sure if the V6 battery box will be a perfect fit. Everything else with the parts I listed should be plug and play. I don't see why it wouldn't. Anyone know more about this?
thanks!
i had another thread bookmarked on my other notebook, but essentially the main thing is the bar, tray, and cabling that needs to be changed. fitment should not be an issue.

What fog lights are you running? I want to swap mine as im using the stockers that are lit by candles. Also, whats the general consensus for yellow fog lights? Not to crazy about how they look but I've heard they perform great in the rain/snow.

Found someone local selling some TL Type S rims. I'm assuming the car would need a drop to make it look nice?

It's subjective, but I think yes. About an inch drop would look good.
tires and wheels shipped

Yeah I figured, from what I've seen online a majority of the cars with them have been lowered.
Does this look like stock height or lowered?

However, instead of guessing, I bet @KmanKD can confirm...

Kind of hard to tell from the picture (too much dark and shadows) to me. But doing some pro internet sleuthing, I don't think it's lowered in that picture.

You're correct! Car wasn't lowered yet. Waited for Tein USA to test out the new Z lines on my cars. Lowered on Flex Z and I love loveeeeee them

Yeah I was going to say they looked familiar. Good choice, I really liked those on his car as well. I have the same tires, probably 6K on them so far. No complaints from me.
thats good to hear. saw nothing but good reviews and i get 70 dollars back on the tires so why not

So you are seriously the 5th person I know of who has had problems (no joke) with orders being messed up. It's pretty pathetic. I think customer service on their end is great... but why is everything incorrect.. everytime??

Because you don't hear about the numerous times that the orders are right the first time. It's a psychological effect called the "negativity bias".
ROTAREDOM
mmmm seems odd that I make comment about wheels, and OP has negative response... not to mention the person I tagged previously who had same bad experience, whom mentioned other friend who had same experience.. seems like a trend rather than a negative bias.
VTEC just kicked in, yo!
Yeah VMR really has the most shittiest customer service when it comes to ordering auto parts online.
Both ssjoeboe and I have had wheels with incorrect CBs sent to me. Mine was arguably even more stupid of a fuck up, since 1 it was just 1 of the 4 wheels that had the wrong CB (some retarded number I'll need to dig up), which required me to find a really, really odd sized hub ring. All VMR did was reimburse me for the second set of hub rings I had to buy, because no sane eBay seller would let me pick 3 that are 66.6mm (or something) and 1 that's 77? mm.

thankfully they found out they machined it wrong before it was sent to me, thus they had to find another wheel or set. Now i'm worried since my wheels come in today, but I won't see them at the shop until friday
ROTAREDOM
The point is, check your wheels when they come in haha
My local mechanic had mounted and balanced all 4 of my wheels (~1.5hrs), and we were installing them when he noticed a wobble. then all 4 were wobbling. CB was wrong on all 4 wheels. Mechanic had to take tires/weights off of ALL 4, then send back to California for re-machiing, and then back to me. The Good-- VMR corrected the problem immediately.. The Bad.. wasted 2 weeks of my time, and ~3hrs of work time for my mechanic.I think the craziest part is that the boxes all had the correct specs on it, but the actual wheels were wrong. I feel fortunate that I took these to my local guy, I'm not so convinced some random tire shop would have even noticed....

In the end I think they gave him a $100 credit if he ever decided to buy wheels from VMR (like the first experience was really convincing reason to buy wheels from them). Finally I gave my buddy an extra $25 for all of the hassle. I know it's not much in the end.. but I didn't really wanna pay for the mistake either.

Sounds like a shit company to deal with.. .screw them I think they're vendors here too sadly...

It was frustrating, but I can't bash the fact that they took corrective actions to get me what I ordered. QC definitely needs to be higher priority for them. That's for sure!
