Comparison:

These lights are now packing Osram Silverstar low beams and Toshiba HIR high beams. I'll be switching them over to relays shortly, so the light output should get another nice boost.

-Auxiliary Lighting

Nice as they look, the factory headlights are a little weak on the output. So I hit up PIAA for some supplementary illumination.

004x driving lights, stealth mounted behind the front grill. Inspired by '60s shelby mustang fogs. They're also controlled by a second factory fog switch, because the dash looks so much cleaner without the ugly PIAA button or some cheesy aircraft rocker switch.

540 ion fogs in JDM bumper bezels. This one took some work. And yes, those red things on the shop floor: pieces of my bumper beam.

Here are a few shots of the light output. The digicam flatters them a little, they aren't quite as bright as the pics make 'em look, but I can't figure out the flash/shutter options to make them come out right.
