Default Lighting almost down...

down, done... Almost the same. Been a long day

Well I'm just about done with my exterior stuff... Finally got the switchbacks installed (Thanks JDMVette, Humanoid 2.0, and all the guys who helped me out) using JDM's mod technique... I'll eventually go with Suprfun's mod once I get the parts in. I'll post some images of what I did sometime tomorrow. All I'm waiting on now is the HID kit, should be here in a week or so. Must say I really like the switchback LEDs & I'm happy I pulled the trigger on the Euro tails. Now for the performance mods!!!

Practicing my night photography, I'll shoot the front once the HID arrive... Until then it's only a$$ shots. Apologize for the poor image quality, I still have a lot to learn

A hui hou

Nope, no hyper flash thanks to your mod... It works just fine. I was a little concerned about the bulb painting but I used 1200deg. header paint just to be sure... It did sizzle a bit but seems to be fine now. I've also kept the bulbs away from anything that might melt.

As far as pics of the switchbacks... I couldn't get the exposure right; it simply looked like a mass of bluish-white light (man those things are bright). I'll snap a few tomorrow with better lighting. I think it'll compliment the HID setup once that's installed.

Again thanks for the help, it really made the difference
