Default [PICS] Some new mods.

Got some new rims. And I also installed some PIAA 1100x driving lights.
click for 1600x1200







the PIAAs are bright
just as bright as the low beams.

Looks great.

How long did the PIAAs take to install? I've had them for about 6 weeks now but haven't had the chance to install them yet. Any advice?

They PIAAs will probably take about an hour to an hour and a half to install properly without rushing.

My advice would be to be patient. It's a fairly straigh forward and esy install. The only problem I had is that it was a PITA to splice into the purple wire from the stock foglamp. There's not a lot of room to maneuver in there. In fact the red wire connector that's provided by PIAA didn't pierce the purple wire and my lights didn't work. If you have any questions just drop me an E-mail or a PM. IF you have the PIAAs install them ASAP, you will not believe how bright they are.
