Over the weekend just replaced both headlight bulbs with Sylvania Xtra. Man, those Sylvania Ultras were bright but only lasted 5 mo. Let's see how long these Xtras last.

Is that center piece a bought piece or is it the OEM shaved ? I hate the wiper,H and the bump where the H sits.
I'd like to replace it with just a flat piece like the pic above.

When the shop did the swap instead of getting the bracket they just zip tied it to that location.

I have had the Ultras in my headlights for 3 or 4 years and they are still lighting up the road... I put the next grade down from them in my wife's old pickup and one of then burned out awhile back... I believe I'm going to stick the new bumper and projector headlights on the car in a say or so.. I am also going to fix an exhaust leak between the header and down pipe which I'm going to wrap and coat with DEI silicone coating.. I'm also going to have to raise the car up a little higher front and rear so I don't destroy the fiberglass bumper.. If I am up to getting around as well as I did today I will knock out installing some other stuff I have .... All that I did today was clean up the area I work on the car in and put a new shift boot on the JDM console, put air in the tires.. I bumped them up to 41.5 PSI front and 38.5 PSI in the rear...My front tires had like 24PSI in them, I guess that's why they were making a lot of noise on fresh asphalt roads.

i finished it

I had already shared the pictures in another thread but not here so hope you like



I replaced the stock headlights with these from a grey fit. Although im aware of the stock tow hook, I used to own an EG that had this style of tow hooks and thus I much rather have this one!



I replaced the stock fog lights with these yellow lens ones and relocated the license plate.







I was interested in purchasing the Advan wheels but the price tag forced me to go with the rota's version. No complaints, I actually love these wheels. I wish I would have gone with bigger tires but i guess these will do till the summer.

make sure to match the flange of the header to the gasket, my brother has the same header and had to drill some of the holes bigger so the header would fit

I heard they did this on purpose so that the gasket would have a tight fit?
