Anyways, I'm tying to get rid of my RonJon Legends... 18x8, 5x114 liquid graphite. There are some curb rashes and rubber beds to be replaced. Asking $600.

I believe it could also be your ballast. On my 3G, I had also put 6000k HID fogs (Alumina from Revolution) but after about a year, my left side flickered alot then died.

On my 4G, I opted for JDM yellow 3000k HID fogs. Took a gamble and bought at Parker Place. $160 + tax. They came with the 'newer' slimmer ballasts and it's been a year with them on daily and I'm happy to say that they are still fine!

Too bad that's probably the only mod I'm allowed to do...

eh.. when cops pull you over and tells u that w/e mods on ur car are illegal and/or does not meet the standards set by ICBC I believe...(eg. exhaust being too loud) then you will have to get your car inspected at a shop and fix w/e they say it's wrong and have them pass you before you can bring your car back on the road.

I think cops are pretty picky about tint. Your only allow to have the rear windows tinted and not the front and its one of those things that can be easily spotted. That's why i'm not doing any tints on mine even though I love the look of tinted windows cause doing only the rears look pretty off balanced imho.

i got 5% rear tint. that was the reason for one of the times i got pulled over, but i claimed it was legal and the left me =) . everyone has tint nowadays, imo cops pull the sketchy cars over but tint is the excuse, they just want to find something in your car. or maybe cause i was in a chinatown alley
