No prob. I'll figure out what size to get and also probably add a relay on there so that its not blinking crazy anymore.

if I remember correctly you're going to need 3440 bulbs for those turn signals. It might be possible to use 3156 or 3157 bulbs since the wedge looks pretty much exactly the same as the 3440's.

no relay in our cars... u need a 6 ohm, 50 watt load resistor. u can get them from vleds or superbrightleds.com.

if u order a set, can u get me ONE extra load resistor? i ordered them from superbrightleds, but they only sent me one

Yeah, I can. I assume you can order the LEDs there as well right? Which ones did you pick up?

Here's a few shots from our 2 day DIY install.

"Hey Arcady do you still have your lower leg after that spring compressor shot off of the spring"


Damn now if we had the impact gun the night before our 7 hour struggle with just one strut and a spring compressor would turned out progressive


I think the nuts are in....lol..John lining up the fork on the control arm.






Will got low that night!




Is that some IC piping I see through the Nismo front Arcadys ATI pulling out of my driveway between the two houses sounded sick

I think the birds eat the cats ...lol I came outside yesterday and counted about 33 spots of bird $hit all over the G. I'm down for a detail day soon as well.

I tried it, but I needed an extension to the wrench to give me a little more umph.

btw. my front turn signals are LEDs...will that be easy to replace?

Oh yea..I hit something big and metal while driving up last night. I never stopped to check what it was but when I was cleaning my car today, I saw it. My rear quarter panel has a huge gash in it and so does one of my rims. I tried to avoid it but I couldn't do much about it since there were so many cars.

Time for a new paint job =\
