You need some WLED-xHP5 LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com in your corner bulbs. I got them in cool blue. I'm pretty sure that's the model #. Makes a huge difference in appearance.

I put those in last night only to take them out today cause they are illegal in PA. Looks good though Kevin just depends how much of an a-hole the cops are around your area...

Eventually. Don't I have to do some sort of mod?

This is enough for me. With the long tubes, and the muffler delete, I'm happy with it.







That's them lit up. They make the stockers look almost yellowish on the road. that speed limit sign is lit up entirely from the fogs, and was done so for like probably a mile. people say the beam is lacking after you clear them, but it goes very far, but the spread doesn't get very wide.

Meh, I like my ebay clear flogs, works great with an actual EFFECTIVE lens.

You dont see the banding with the ebay clears, you get an even spread similar to the headlights:

I think I got mine on sale, because I remember paying around $270 (maybe I had a coupon?).

Anyways, I like them. The homebrew clear lexan looks cool, but about useless.

Also, Neondials the seller of these, were REALLY helpful when I had an issue with my fogs (missing a rubber gasket for a socket). They shipped a replacement wiring harness WITH BULBS, not just the gasket, before I had even gotten them the pictures of the issue. I'd definitely recommend them.

Some more pics of my setup:

This lil running light led works perfect in the headlight too. It's NOT blue, more white:

i had the muffler delete done...then just had an x-pipe put in today. i love the sound. the x-pipe made it much more cackle-y and throaty, and only about 10% louder

edit- only 10% louder than the muffler delete made it

Can you take a pic of the headlights? I am unsure what you mean when you say you plasti-dipped them? Clear?
