They are drl pods from vleds. Super bright. 200 lumens each. I wired them via a relay that is triggered to my ignition switch. I installed them myself into the mugen lip.

How do they look ? Aren't they too wide compared to the fender ?

Its a sort of asymmetrical pattern. Really nice so far. Way less road noise than my previous tires. Plus they also have really great all round handling in dry and wet.

I get mixed emotions whenever I see your pictures. One side is like "bro why don't you air out so I can see it in all it's glory?!" and another side is like "thanks for being considerate, I'm so jealous of how it looks right now even without being aired out."
Honestly I think I've only seen 1 or 2 pictures of it aired out!

Car looks amazing Connor!

Thanks Z!! I guess i didnt really announce it yet, but it hasnt been on air in a while haha. I switched to swift springs cause the ride just wasnt cutting it as a daily/winter beater and the roads here are unfortunately some of the worst in the country lol.

I have to say im jealous of yours lol. Wish i could be slammed, and that wrap!

If i ever move im gunna get some coils.

Whoahh, that's a bummer.. Are you keeping the bags or did you sell them?
Those must be some really bad roads! I'm on the other side of the spectrum, roads here are decent but I wish I had air ride haha. Always take my mom's Pilot when the fam wants to go places, my car's a garage queen and has only taken a max of 2 other passengers whenever it shows itself on the street lol. Coilovers has its cons too But thanks! The wrap was the real game changer for me haha it gets a lot of attention.

Yeah... I do really like the swifts as a compromise of everything. And my wife was happy enough riding on them all the way to san jose.

Yeah sold the bags a while ago.

Imagine speed bumps on highways, and craters and dips lol. Yeah its bad. Im dodging around 24/7.

I know LA has some pretty bad highways too from driving around there. But not the same level of bad lol.

If i ever get bored of white maybe ill do a wrap too

Ah I see; well if you wanted to slam I think bags would be the only way because it's even worse of a ride slammed on coilovers lol. Maybe your rolling height had high psi so the ride was rougher than it could've been? I dunno. But it's all good, swifts are definitely the way to go for springs.

For sure! Yea I was bored of silver(I actually didn't like silver to begin with haha); the candy/metallic color vinyls are definitely a sight to see when the sun hits them

Maybe, i experimented a lot with trying to use less psi at rolling height. I even put spacers under the bags so that i could have them be even more deflated at rolling height... But in the end it just didnt cut it plus my wife was getting pissed off(she co-owns the car, so she has a lot of say in what i can get away with)

Yeah it looks amazing in the pics! I can only imagine what its like first hand.

Nice headlights! Do you know for sure those can be modded to work with the North American front end? The mounts and shape are slightly different from what I can tell.
