The Oil pump sprocket timing marks were off by 180 degrees! Drive so much smoother and faster now IMO.

Nice bro!
Thx man, I now need to install my rear sway bar, purchase a set of GR-2's (since my AGX's are done & money's tight), redo my headliner, black floor carpet, and get my extra set of door trims painted satin black.
Im still debating on whether I want to do my roof in Satin Black or Dry CF vinyl... I know either would look dope but I dont want extra attention from Cops either. Seems like it'll make me stand out more like "Look @ me! Im modified!" And since everything is not completely "legal", I dont want to give them a reason to pull me over and start writin me up.
I personally don't like the carbon fiber vinyl, satin black vinyl would look hot, center of the hood to the hood lines, the whole roof, and then the trunk, but just the top of the trunk. Sometimes you just gotta out run them so they can't stop you lol, jk though
My HIDs are Onex and have worked very well for nearly 4 years. Far longer than many folks with the DDMs.Quote:

I bought my bumper from RAZ_76 back in June/July of '08 with the license plate delete done and bumper primed, and thought I'd be the first with it, then you came along and squashed that dream! LOL! Then when I saw how good the grille we have looked on your, Qnz, & njjfudge's car, I had to have it!
Yeah, I followed all the instructions correctly I thought. All wire colors are coordinated with each other...Quote:

Oh I see what u mean... No its even brighter when the brakes are on, along with outer portion of the lights turning on. I'll take a photo of both...Quote:

Dude, mine don't do that. They all are lit for running lights, and brake lights. You sure the second filaments aren't blown in the stop/tail bulbs?
Check them, see if they're 7443, or 7440.
7443 are dual filament bulbs, 7440 are single. I have the feeling that's your issue.
IDK, but I dont think any of the filaments are blown bcz all my bulbs are brand new. I had to buy all of them when I bought the tails bcz the ones that came with them were all blown. All of these fit in the sockets also.Quote:

Lets not start a riot about this. But in the most respectful manner, your current setup is more confusing. They look like rear fogs. If you look at your first picture the outer reds are dimmly lit or at least it looks that way. Thats is how the entire red portion should look and your second picture should be the way it is with the exception of the inner lights dimming also as you let off your brakes. Good thing you're here in cali and inspections are lenient otherwise you might fail an inspection.
lmao!!! your kidding right?Quote:

Vic, his pics are misleading, you gotta look at the glare to see this, but his running lights actually are dimmer than his brake lights. His camera looks like it had a high sensitivity to compensate for the low light, so when you photograph a light source in low light, it looks deceptively bright. The only way to tell the difference between the dim and the brights is to look at the glare around the lights.

Glare is small, and there's no glare at all from his outer brake lights.
http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...eTheScore2.jpg
Glare is much larger, indicating more light, and both lights have the same amount of glare. The camera did a bad job of showing the difference. I like having both my lights dim on my JDM's, and I like having both my lights bright when I hit the brakes.

Just thought I'd help clear the situation up.
Haha, thanks for the visualization here. Backs up my post better now. lol
Yeah, I'm with you Chris, single filaments are in the outer sockets, duals in the inner ones.Quote:

I know I searched the info here on TGC before my install, but I don't remember where. It was a pain in the ass trying to find the all bulbs, and I had to end up going to different parts stores, because one had these while the other didn't. So at the end of the day I don't feel like messing with it anymore. Whenever the bulbs blow out, then I will go in and check everything and replace the necessary bulbs. Until then it's done, it works, end of story.
No prob, for the record I don't think your lights are unsafe or nothing, car is actually rather vicious homie!
LOL! Thx manQuote:
