    Yes on the lights, yes, 0-60 in 2 seconds, and it brakes harder, yada yada, i know all that, the Koing? an insanely powerful HP/W ratio and it's only real competition is the Bugatti and fighter jets? No traction control, just balls and nerves of steel. Either you drive it right or die in it, put a wing on it and it's probably the closest thing you could drive on a street to an F1 car.
    I like the Atom, it looks like it would be a hoot to drive for sure, on a nice dry track on a warm sunny day.

    Just added my HIDS to my taco. 6000k hi/lo beams.

    After finishing my HID installation, I installed my LED parking lights that I bought here locally. While installing, I notice the bulb began to slowly coming out the slot. As I seen this happening, I carefully started to take out the bulb. While doing so, the bulb got loose and fell between the light housing.:mad:I tried to take out the headlights so I can rattle it out but it was a no-go. Headlights couldn't come out. I watched tutorials and still no luck. Looks like i just wasted money on that. Will attempt to try this again tomorrow. :(

    Can anybody help me figure out how to get it back?

    I had this happen to me in canadian tire parking lot once. I went into the store and bought one of those little telescoping magnet tools and stuck it inside the headlight to fish the bulb out.

    Take them apart and do BHLM while you're at it. Also take those HID's out and put some projectors in too while you're in there for the sake of other drivers.

    Still tons better than stock housings with HIDs, non-retrofit. Mine being adjusted correctly are great, for the price.

    When I went to my driveway this morning, my Tacoma was gone...

    Apparently, somebody stole it last night. Been on the phone dealing with the police and insurance all morning.

    Sucks...

    Nope. Doors locked, no glass broken...police said it was either pulled on a flatbed trailer or they used a two-wheeled dolly of some sort.

    That blows!! I'd be so pissed... I'd be driving around in my rental looking for it.

    It's pretty easy to break in without breaking the glass. Not sure how to bypass the ignition but I'm sure it's possible.

    Good luck, hope it works out.

    That really sucks, man. I'm sorry. I hope it all works out.

    I thoroughly cleaned my throttle body this morning. Totally fixed the rough idle I had when I was stopped in gear.
