they are turn signal bulbs that shine white when on and amber when blinking. led of course. i'm trying to figure out how to put them on but i don't want to mess anything up. i've already asked for a write up, but i haven't seen anything go up. yea, it looks relatively easy but someone should be a hero and make one for wimps like me lol
Cool. Let me know how the install goes. Post pics lol
 
There is a guy on the ST forum in SA that made his Ford Bantam Bakkie a Ken Block replica, must say it looks quite good..what you guys think:



Im really liking where this is going[thumb] I think we need more ppl going in the rally direction. Everyones doing the same thing more or less ( including myself) i think this'll be interesting

fairly straight forward if your familar with taking your headlights out.....bulb swap is simple, the resistors install is the hardest part...

ask and you shall receive! I will do a write up when i get a chance to redo my connections.... Possibly this weekend if you ask nicely [8)]
yeah i was gonna redo mine this weekend too ...soldering ftw! Lol

bad a$$ pic man how did you get the stairs like that time laps??[:0]
thanks man!! Its about a 2 min long exposure i did at 10:30pm last night in the pitch dark......hardest part is making sure your focused in the dark <no pun intended lol

switchbacks. even wrote a how to in the 2008-2011 section

 
that actually looks good i might just pick up a pair and alos that gerage looks smaller then my living room or is that a storage place lol
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
 
oh lol ok just nvr seen one so small lol but hey at least u got one right? lol....u know i was planing on changing all my bulbs for the front what would u suggest for the headlights....fog lights....and turns (pb the switch back lol)???
 
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
 
ok yea i know bout the HID's in stock housing is a big no no i was looking in to projectors but alittle to pricey for me at the moment and thanks for the info ill deff look into the swtichbacks and talk to them guys bout the other lights...i have a few ideas my self like stock roof wing, 5 star SVT wheels but white, also some interior lighting from other ppl on the site an ive done some research bout some bolt ons for my motor but if anything else ill ask....thanks again
 
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.
 
Nvm, figured it out, been wondering about that
 
hey vonkrause u still got some of them kits availble ive seen ur post and that looks like an interesting mod id like to do as well as the wood floor lol but not sure on a color i have a red car black interior but im looking into white rims so maybe either a red or white kit lol

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
