ok this is a dumb and really noob question, but the only way to get the fog lights to turn on with the headlights is to turn the light switch all the way to the right and pull it out a click right?

i like the led city lights and license plate as well, where'd you get em?

Fog + Headlight : turn all the way pull once

Fog only : turn after the automatic pull once

for those license plate lights, did you take out the trunk liner to get to them? or did you unscrew the screws and take out the clear lens from the outside?

It took me forever to install those, I thought they were simple plug and play but noooo. I had to take off the whole inside of the trunk. It was a b*tch, but at the end it payed off. They are super bright and they light up the street too. I did install resistor and quick splices. I got them from autolumination.com

The cf pillars came with 3M tape.

Yeah i had to completely take out the whole inside of the trunk, you just pop them out with a flat screw driver and you have to take the screws from the outside as well.

looking good with the LED bulbs mod

not looking good the brightness you believe your foglight is doing is actually just excessive glares. 10000k HID has less illumination factor than your normal halogen bulb. If you really want it to look good and function I would go with 4300k or 3000k/yellow. 8000k low-beam is barely any brighter than the H7 halogen bulb other than making everything looks blue btw.

Thanks and yeah i know the whole wrap about kelvins and stuff... 6k is the best kind of HID if you want the best result as for vision. I just went for the looks not the performance.. Theres never any fog were i leave sooo yeah.

all good.

I had the 6000k bulbs before as well for low-beam. one burnt out and just never got another one, but 4300k stock bulbs definitely puts less stress on your eye at night.

Okay, either I'm stupid, or blind. But where did you see the daytime running lights?
