You're lucky getting them for free :eyebrow: ....are the used???

I actually really like the difference from stock...i also have the TRD sway bar and strut bar...I dont want the stock 17s but idk what rims to get ... its between the EMX Super 7s or some Black Webs that i found....depending on how they look with the drop now i might have to change the springs to go a little lower....

viventi
02-08-2008, 04:21 AM
yeah i have a friend out on long island who used to work for toyota, hes still got connections and got me a brand new set for free :D the white ones...im getting them installed as soon as i pick them up.

i can wait to get them...im pretty sure on what wheels i wanna get when i get around to it. summertime. i thinking maybe these...

02-08-2008, 04:38 AM
i would but i dont have photoshop on the computer im using right now. i think ive seen one other person on here who has them.

I can give you a hand. It really doesn't take too long. Do you have the OEM lip kit?

viventi
02-12-2008, 03:41 PM
nope, no lip....i was going to be putting the rs1 kit on over the summer though. but i heard that shouldn't be a problem. correct?

i'd be willing to do it myself if it weren't so damn cold out. but i dont have a garage. how long does it take to do?

ExpresScion
02-12-2008, 04:06 PM
No problems with the RS1 lip. It doesn't go far enough into the vent area to affect the fogs. Without the lip, I'd say it can be done in less than an hour. I have the OEM lip, and I'm a pefectionist, so it took me awhile to cut the lip and fit it perfect with the fogs.

Are you swapping the bulbs before you install them? If not, I would wait until you get bulbs. It's a whole lot easier to swap the bulbs when you can get access to the back of the light. Otherwise, you'll be removing the bumper again just to do a bulb swap.

viventi
02-12-2008, 05:53 PM
oh no no...im definitely doing that before installing them. if people there are willing to help out with installing them at the meet i'd bring them with me with the bulbs swapped and the overlays on already.

also, if i ever brought the car into the dealership for work, re they gonna give me crap about the vrds?

not that it'll change my mind about the lights. i still wanna put them in.

krdshrk

What HIDs are you getting? They may not need a direct-to-battery relay.

The VRD fog lights hook right into the OEM Fog light wiring, not to the battery. You'll be fine.

VRD Fogs will be easy to install... no extra wiring needed.

2500k's and overlays for the fogs. not my headlights.

the overlays are super light, i just wanted them to be a little smoked grey instead of having all that chrome showing in them. i have the 08 lights so there's no chrome to match like the 07 and under lights do.

recliner15
02-23-2008, 04:13 AM
the parking lights behind the yellow corner im not sure. wont matter because they will show yellow because of the corner reflector. but inside the housing where the low beams are it is the 168/194 bulb size. and while you are it the license plate bulbs are also the same size. along with the 3 dome lights in the front

viventi
02-23-2008, 04:13 AM
oh and i think it'll look good. the bulbs are the nokya ones so theyre pretty bright, when they're on they should drown out any of the darkness the overlays provide.

i just dont want the fog housings to be as white/bright as they come.

Instead of giving you a whole bunch of directions....would you feel better if i met you somewhere and you could follow me and some of my friends that are going? Or i could just give you directions anyway....

i could do that....im coming from the south though.

02-25-2008, 04:12 AM
actually...i could take 206 or 295 to somewhere. i just looked at google maps and he turnpike kinda goes the wrong way at exit 7. which is 206...

SW_08
02-25-2008, 04:13 AM
Yea 206 would be easier for you...but what exit on the tpk are you coming from?

viventi
02-25-2008, 04:14 AM
four. i live where the tpk and 295 run alongside eachother...206 is about 15 minutes from me too.

02-25-2008, 04:16 AM
well i'm not too fimilar with your area but i have used 206 from south jersey to my house....so do you still need directions or do you think you got it?

viventi
02-25-2008, 04:19 AM
no idea, ill figure it out. i could take any of those roads, they all go to 206 anyway, which seems like the easiest to take...where would i have to meet up with you guys?

SW_08
02-25-2008, 04:23 AM
Actually it would be easier to take the tpk.......

i would have met you as soon as you got off the tpk......

viventi
02-25-2008, 04:25 AM
well off what exit? i can take the turnpike to exit 7, which is 206.

the tpk is the closest of the 3 highways to me.

SW_08
02-25-2008, 04:27 AM
actually exit 9.....idk it would be easier simply b/c its a straight drive.....and less turns although it would take you the same time....

viventi
02-25-2008, 04:31 AM
thats fine...just let me know what time i need to be there.

SW_08
02-25-2008, 04:34 AM
alrite ummmm i guess leave your place around 6 b/c of traffic and its gonna take you like a hour or hour and a half to get here so.....i'll PM you my #

I hope you have EZ-pass....lol

02-25-2008, 03:43 PM
Well, you could take 295 up to 95 to 206.... That might be your straightest shot...
