that's a garage lol. i live in a townhouse so i need to enjoy it while it lasts before i leave to my apartment. never lived in a house with a two car garage. the only thing that i'll need to do is switch out my light bulbs. the yellowish bulbs don't really go with the white switchbacks

mmm, i'd go with silverstar ultra if you want a brighter whiter beam without blinding people. hid's in stock housings. big no no. fog lights you should talk to slammed, crice, misfire. they've all done it. i just don't feel like doing it. and the turns, i'd def go witht he switchbacks. you can find them on ijdmtoy.com. they are on ebay too for cheaper. just type in focus switchbacks and they should pop up. and if you want hid's either get the projectors that eagleye (or whatever the manufacturer is) sells or retrofit. sorry i'm in a rush. i'm sure someone could provide you with more info. i would post links but i gotta go somewhere. and/or pm me for more info. i've got more pics of my car i can show you if you wanted more ideas

Cool new mod blueflow, question, (and it's silly coming from me) I keep hearing about switch backs when in regards to LEDs in head/tail light housings. Is this in reference to keep them from flashing like a bulb is out?

Also I just got done repairing/modding my headlight turn signals, the tabs broke on both sides of the cars turn signal wiring harnesses and I just replaced them and opted to not hook up the running lights, I do have the turn signals still hooked up though and I love the look of the front of the car without that amber running light.

i know you said never mind but yes lol. i actually had to drive without my grill cause i needed a couple more things and i kept forgetting the led bulb was in so it blinked like crazy.

you should really do this mod. the color the white light produces is almost like the color of your car
