Default Lowered, cleared, a little blacker!
Just a teaser pic until Saturday when I get some time to take some good pics! But the last month I have blacked out the tails/side markers, cleared the fogs/DIY, and put clear with a hint of blue HID fog/turn signal bulbs in place of the stock ones. And then lowered her on H&R springs. Teaser pic a lot more to come this weekend!

Well seeing how we are having a blizzard I took a few pics this morning. Hopefully the weather is better next weekend and I can take some better ones.

Bamfin, did you modify your stock foglamps, or did you purchase STS-V foglamps and modify those?

looks clean. I disagree with the above, leave the reverse lights alone.

I did the DIY on the stock fogs, I think it looks a lot cleaner then then STS fogs. As for the reverse lights I thought it looked clean the way it is so I didnt black them out. I meant to type LED light bulbs not to sure why my brain thought HIDs. But to make the LEDs work you have to splice in load resistors in the wire to the lights seeing how they draw more power then stock. If you dont it will hyper blink thinking a light bulb is out. It was a fun project figuring all this out haha!
