WTH? how is the first photo with the plate and the second without but no holes!?

mindblown

anyways, welcome! Super White is an awesome choice...and from Longo! that is so full of win. you ride is like a younger brother

 

Haha thanks Justin! And as for the hole and no hole, when I first got the car, I took off the frame and I saw a lil scrape on the bumper that was made from 1 of the screws so I had them fix it. Then on the way I asked them "politely" to fill on those holes for me haha. They agreed, which led me to relocating my license plate( which I didnt upload yet), but I don't know if it was your idea or someone else's, I decided to put it on the lower grille side. Might be yours, I don't remember, but I tweaked it a bit. Will upload later. Haha will deffo look like a younger bro. I still have a lot to learn!

 

Whats up with all the new builds in the past week? But welcome! Can't wait to see where you go with it :D

 

haha yea probably me, it was one of the first things i did. most people relocate to the tow hook cause of Ptuning

 

oh herro there tim.

LOl, yeah it was kidjustin's. i posted up a thread asking about bumper plugs a week or 2 ago for tim, but he got the dealer to fix it for him instead lol

 

Hey man, just to answer your HID question:

You won't encounter any issues with your stock wires. I have had my 55w HIDs installed for my low beams for over a year without a single issue. I also just recently installed 35w HIDs in my fogs around 2 months ago and still no issues. Both sets fire right up simultaneously. You're good to go...welcome!

EDIT: forgot to add...I'm NOT using any relays either

 

haha thanks, i like your idea a lot but i couldnt get the right tools u had so i ended up substituting like almost everything lmao.
EDIT: and yes, ed helped me out with this.. i had trouble installing it myself haha. and the ptuning one is EXPENSIVE

 

Thanks a lot! that helps because i couldnt decide if i wanted to do HID fogs, worrying i might burn some wires or ruin some electrical part. Im planning to get DDM 35W HID 6K. can't wait to install these!

 

nice! always happy that things i post up help people

 

Depending on how you want your color output to look, you may want to go 5000k if you don't want it to look too blue. My DDM 55w 6000k is crystal white with very slight hint of blue. 35w will definitely be more blue.

 

BUMP!

whattup nice to actually meet you in person! anyways here is the link to the Audi light DRL install DIY thingy. trust me dont be scared about the electrical stuff, just always plan what you think you need to do before you actually do it. and yea just hit me up if u ever have Qs

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=204760
...i basically followed everything here

 

Another SW! Welcome! As Steve said I am also running 55w 8k low beams and 35w 6k fogs, both from DDM and have had no issues thus far. Just plug them up and you're good to go.

 

My guess is spring is almost here/is here for some. Time to get a new whip!

Welcome to the forums xtimxmayyx good luck with the build!

 

hey Justin, nice to meet you too! I dont know anyone else that owns a tc2 besides you now. Im glad we both went to this meet!.

Also, thanks for the link to the DRL install. I read through the guide twice and the whole post from page 1 - 9. haha Even though the post is really clear, i still have some questions about it... (Im EXTREMELY NEW to this.) and scared i might ruin something, so maybe you can back me up.

For the way without the switch, like yours, what are the things that I need to buy? Or is it better to install a switch for these DRL? And do you have the link specifically to purchase your LED lights? Do all waterproof LEDs have a plastic silicone outside like yours? I want to get the equipments first and see if i can try it. haha if not then, maybe i can call u up or something.

Thanks bro!

 

Haha thanks for the reply!

Thanks Frost!

 

Welcome!

 

Personally i had some trouble with the switch, which is why its all just direct wiring (well with the fuse and stuff stated in the DIY)

anyways, i'll link you to all the things i bought when i have time

 

Haha aite thanks a lot bro!

 

Soo I havent been on updating much about my car and I dont go on here as much as I thought I would.. But here are some recent (mini) mods.

The first thing I did was relocate the license plate(credit goes to KidJustin) for his DIY. Although it was a bit harder to get the same materials as his, I substituted a few pieces and got an extra hand from a friend!


Then I swapped OEM antenna with the s2k stubby antenna.

after:



After that, I replaced the interior lights to LEDs. (Sorry, dont have pictures), but here is a picture of the LED parking lights:
(Theyre more blue in picture)


Then of course, I tinted my windows!!

after::




And last recent change was my headlights! I went from OEM lows and Fogs to DDM HID 6K 35W for lows and fogs.

during:

and after!:

my tC and friends tsx(both cars 6k top and bottom):



I'll upload more once I get to work on my car more.
