Did a little night driving tonight and though flicking on the high beams is brighter than low beam it's still no where near as bright as stock.

Doesn't ijdmtoy have a new style led drl light..?? Looks like the new type is brighter then those..? I could be wrong though. It has CREE led's on them.

After looking at their website it appears you are correct. The new style has a reflector on it to reflect more light of the chrome housing. I may look into these down the road.

My Teins have arrived , fenders are rolled now and I just hope I can get a nice drop with my 245/40/19's .. My RJ's have a 48mm offset and I'm planning on using 15mm spacers in the rear and 10mm on the front. Wish me luck

The ride in my opinion is very good and I prefer it to stock. It is firmer than stock but not overly which I prefer for an everyday driver and I have O complaints. I really would like to give a shoutout to Marcus at HeelToe for helping me with my decision.

ICrap : The drl and halogen brights are the same bulb. The LED kit replaces those bulbs. These LEDS will switch to bright but not really enough to make a difference. It appears they do have a brighter bulb on their website that I prolly should have bought. They are a tad bit pricer than what I paid. Mine where $59 with the wiring harness and resistors and the "brighter ones" are $59 plus $17 for the harness and resistors. I hope I answered your question .

Oh i see... is the light output still suitable for nighttime use with highbeams? do you think you could take a night shot showing the highbeams on?

I want LED DRLs but at the same time I use my highbeams every night... so not sure if this will work well or not.

If you use your high beams every night then the ones I purchased are not for you http://store.ijdmtoy.com/9005-LED-Da...d_sku45_r2.htm Even with brights on they are over powered by the protector beams. The "extreme brights" they sell may work better but I can not say.

From the picture it looks like it's an off-white from the car's color.

Its a hair off but not as noticeable in person. PWP is a tough color to match especially on a 5 year old car. Going to rework the hardware to get a little better fit.

Sport bumper looks so nice.
Why'd you get the front lip though if you were going to get the sports bumper anyways?

Fools and their money part quickly I wasnt really planning on getting the sports bumper til I found out a local Acura dealer (Sons) had a good deal on the front and rear I could not pass up plus I didnt have to worry about the ridiculous shipping costs. I like the Ebay lip spoiler and it was a good value at $104 but the sports bumper is way cleaner. Can wait to get the rear on.

Looking really good. Love the modulo kit.

Btw, did the front/rear come pre-painted? Or did you get them painted yourself? I know colour matching white is really tough... but this turned out really well!

They fit ok but there is a little gap. They are flexible enough to put some two sided tape for better a better fit which I will do.
