what kind of lights are those in the lower grill?

 

My bumper vents are different, because the left one is a functional vent for the TRD CAI, instead of the faux vents that come stock (I think that's what you're asking). To black out the headlights you need to bake them in the oven to open them up, here's a DIY:

They're LED running lights from VLEDs.com. I want to get rid of them and get real fog lights instead.

 

Thanks. I really like the blacked-out headlights, but not sure if I want to open my headlights that way. Have you had any issues with leaks since then?

 

i didnt want to do mine either, but if you use enough silicone or bake them long enough (or a combo of both) you wont have any issues with leaks and the light fogging up.

 

So far so good, I laid down a fat bead of silicone and baked them before putting them back together. I was scared to do it for a long time, but it's really not too bad.

 

Wanna get rid of your grille?

If your interested Ive got some OEM fogs, bottom grille, top grille (painted black) that I would trade you

 

No way I love this grill. Still not sure if I like the OEM fogs.

 

Wasn't satisfied with the NF210 drop, so DF210's it is!





ps: NF's are for sale

 

Really looks good. So how is the DF ride compaired to the NF ride overall?

 

Well, it's only been a day and I haven't driven it too much, but so far it seems to be riding pretty comfortably. Overall it feels slightly stiffer and bumps are a little more noticeable, but nothing drastic. So far so good.

 

I like your car, I really need to get a job so I can start modding our 2011, I wanna be the first 11 on coils

 

Picked up the carbon fiber fogs from FastScions.

 

do they just plug in with the stock ones

 

No, they come with their own wiring harness and push button switch, but I wired them to run as DRLs.

 

Now you need to get rid of the Amber Turn Signal Bulbs and install some V-Leds Switchback bulbs. The white driving lights would look great with your new DRL's.

Good call. Next on my list. Which ones do you guys have, the 92 LED style or the 60? I'm curious about the fitment.

 

I have the 60 led bulbs. The 92 weren't available when I bought mine, and I'm not sure how they would fit since they are longer than the 60. I'd save the $$ and stick with the 60.

Here is the thread that talks about these bulbs, replacement flasher, and the pros & cons of flashers vs. resistors:

BTW, V-LEDS is having a sale right now:

I also installed the 60's. Highly recommended!

Don't forget, you will also need to change your flasher relay or install load resistors so the turn signals won't hyper flash!
