sick tommy! i wanted to take mine apart and clean them and take out the yellow glare guard on the fogs so badly but i was too lazy

get some matching superwhite bulbs for your fogs and corner bulbs. ive never seen it in person but from pictures it makes the entire headlight one solid beam of bright white light the whole way across.

Tchleung 01-10-2006 06:32 AM

Thaks guys it turned out great. I've wanted to do it for years but was always afrraid of wrecking them till finally one night I said ef it.

And Mike, I left the yellow condom in still, I actually prefer the yellow as my headlights are bright enough.


But it can be done to any lights that are plastic. Glass ones is a differnet story... If anyone wants the exact steps I used jsut throw me a PM. I'll be glad to help out. Here is another pic during the process:

Oh ya and mod of last night:

Removed glareguards on my USDM fogs on my other teg. Sure makes a big difference as expeceted! On that car, they are all silvertars so it's pretty damn bright. even in the fogs Mike ;) I'm surprisde. without the glareguards, I can drive at night with them only and no headlights. So many light mods lately. I think that's it tho. nothing else I wanna do.

Mod of the day:

Installed some needed rear carpet interior clips, and put my engine together some more

girlcrazy_420 01-17-2006 08:47 PM

Finally found out why the beast wasnt making boost as fast as she could've. When the intercooler finally came out, "she" was in the shape of a "Z" The endtanks had seperated from the core itself and the bottom 3 layers of core were pushed into one another. Also, re-routed a bunch of vacuum lines, boost controller and moved the BOV so things looked a little "cleaner" under the hood.

Tchleung 01-17-2006 08:50 PM

Mod of the day:

Started the GS-T and moved it around. :)
