haha. It's wasted time and effort but not when ur tailgating me! This is for shits and giggles! I had no intentions to sell this nor any intentions to install this but when this customer saw it today, he said he will be calling me everyday until I get this installed for him. It's a lot of work. Took me 6 hours the first time trying to measure everything and of course I always install something backwards Second time around will take about 3-4 hours due to the fact that I need to run wires from the back to the front. Mebbe I can get it done in 2-3 hours. I should.

The Orion V2s are LED rings. Anybody can get those rings but it's a matter of who has the patience and guts to open the headlight. I choose the HID angel eyes since it projects a lot of light!

DIY? Well, as long as you know how to work with diodes, you'll be good. I can sell the kit no problem. But running the wire from the back to the front is hard. Only reason why anyone would want to install HID reverse lights is from the on the fly button anyway and that's the toughest to get to.

I removed the shifter console, navi/climate control console, the big piece off wood for the vents, driver side footwell, the left trunk liner, pushed the rear seat out a little bit, removed the door sill trims, the B pillar bottom trim, the trunk trim in the middle, the list goes on and on. My girlfriend came to check out the car. She's like, wtf are you doing? I said, HID reverse. She's said, "you removed almost all the trim to get to it?" LOL

Funny how you didn't wire the switch going through the driver side instead of the middle console like this TL.

AWD is for real deal - that's how come its in Lambos and GT-R's and sh!t. You driving your glorified RWD soccer mom sedan talking ish to me?!?!






BTW you still getn turbo? Yo, you're gonna NEED AWD with that thing! Rears won't have any traction if you twisting at something like 500lb ft or more! Oh man, but it'd be a hottie... you'd be able to friggin drift the thing! WITH the HID lights on!
