the tail lights...

Lighting definitely looks mean, G! Good choice. I love the output of NOKYA bulbs, I just don't like the fact that they last shorter than some other brands.

I have some backup bulbs drex. lol I ordered a few sets of different bulbs. just need to do some testing, see what I like most!

I ordered...

Hoen Endurance, Xeno-Match
Luminics JDM yellow, titanium white
Nokya 2500k JDM yellow
GP Thunder 8500k Ion, 2500k yellow



the 2008 models are so much more convenient. the "LCI" models use H8 bulbs instead of those Ring markers on the older cars!

I had a 3hr drive and it sucked. Especially on the way home when after doing 100+ for 5min part of my wheel well lining started coming off and rubbing against my tire.

Tire 1 - wheel well 0

Try the M-Tech Ion Yellows, bro! That's what I've been using and they're the closest thing to the PIAA Ion Yellows (at a lot less the cost). Plus, they have lifetime warranty. One goes out, you send it to them and they send you a new one!

OR, just go HID...lol...I'm still hesitant to do that since my lights are bright as hell already (and the foglights still need to be aimed properly).

thanks guys!

Jon,
parting out is gonna happen, eventually. as of now I still love the coupe, I just gotta take it out more often. I've driven it maybe 3-4 times since I picked up the e60.

Phil,
thanks! I'm trying to make this e60 look mean!

Drex,
I'll look into that, the Nokya Fogs and Hoen AEs are not bad, but I'll try out the mtech ions!
