It looks good man. What bulbs did you use for the city lights?

Appreciate it brotha, I bought them off a guy on here AZN something? I told him to get me a couple bulbs that were as close to the factory bi-xenon bulbs as he could get. One already burnt out but I bought three just incase that happened.

Yea the city lights up front are ones with built in resistors. I might actually wire a couple resistors for the front driving lights and turn signals if these burn out any more. Ideally, it should be 12v--->resistor--->diode---> LED bulb but the diodes aren't completely necessary. I think it might have something to do with the heat the resistor puts off inside the bulb that makes the built in ones burn out a little faster.

I think AZN offers the turn signals now with built in resistors.

Yea I tried to order them from him when I got the city lights but the head of the bulb wouldn't fit into the signal housing. Maybe he found a smaller bulb.

In some good company there. I could see the Porsche owner doesn't care too much for his front bumper.

Oh yea, they're Doctors that could care less haha. There's a 7 series on the other side of the Ferrari and an Aston Martin down past that one. One of them has a Gallardo that's up there every now and then. I just parked in the Physician's lot to take this pic haha.

Appreciate it!
I can say I have the two baddest vehicles in the Finance department at least. Mainly bc I am not married/no kids and I work with a bunch of penny pinchers that want to save every dollar they've ever made for their entire life. I am an accountant, I'm just wired different when it comes to saving vs. buying stuff that makes you happy.
