Lighting:

I swapped the original yellow side marker lights for white ones which are from PIAA;Platinum Super White. These bulbs give off a nice whitish light and I was pretty impressed myself.

For the main headlamps, PIAA Xtreme White bulbs which have a color temperature of 4150K do the job of lighting the road ahead. This model has the color temperature of standard OEM HIDs-4350K.

These bulbs are a big improvement over the stock bulbs as the beam is now much wider and further. The edge of the beam is sharper and crisp, with pretty good cutoff; and the color is white. During rain, its not that much worst as the color temperature is around 4000k, I am still able to see clearly.

A pair of Xtreme White LED wedge bulbs came bundled with the H4 bulbs. I initially installed them for the front parking lights, but it turned out too blue for my liking, so it went to the back of the car, replacing the yellow license plate bulbs.

This is the PIAA Xtreme White LED wedge bulbs installed. Too blue for my liking and it didnt really match the color output of the H4 Xtreme White. I think it would look great though if the parking lamps were integrated together in the main beam section.

Since it was too blue, sent them behind to the license plates. Somehow due to the bulb holder/reflector design, the color output seems much whiter, less of the blue hue. Would be sweet if complemented with a pair of 6000K real Xenon HIDs upfront.. coming in future.

Other mods include a pair of FIAMM twin horns to replace the stock horn.
