Default 7500K Xenon and LED driving light installed...

Order of the day...

One more...

I'm very happy with the end result! 7500K looks so much better than the stock 4200K Xenons. The LED driving lights are actually dimmer than the stock bulbs, but of course it looks much "bluer" and that's what I'm looking for to complement the Xenons. It's a bit tricky to get to the Xenon housing though, but the whole installation took me less than 15 minutes.<ul><li><a href="http://www.wak-tt.com/mods/powerbulbs/powerbulbs.htm">How to install LED for driving lights (Courtesy of Waks Wide Web)</a></li></ul>

Default Are those "driving lights" standard on your car or did you add them yourself?

We don't have them on US cars.

I like what you're doing. I currently have 8 white 5mm LEDs lighting up my rear license plate. I couldn't find pre-made bulbs (LEDs+assembly) to fit back there so I made them myself.

Hmmm...so you guys don't have this for US spec cars? That's one click right on the light switch. I would have never thought that the light housing would be different...

Nope. One click right turns on the "parking lights" which are the amber strips (and the rear)

Default hi HKKTTKev, question about the hardtop.

I think I emailed you before about the hardtop. I am not sure if its you, but its the Caractere TT from HK.

I just want to know more about the hardtop, is it works well, how much and where to get it? is there only one type, or have some other type? Would be great if have the Carbon one.

BTW, those must be nicer color in real person, pictures doesnot do justice.

I still not sure about the LED driving lights, maybe us dont have.
