    Satoshi grill mod, Redline Tuning Hood struts and tailgate E-Z down, HID headlights and fogs, LED tail lamp upgrade, TRD exhaust, FJ TRD Anthracite Wheels, T-REX eyelids, power sunroof, 5100 Billies and ToyTec AAL, K&N drop-in, TRD seatcovers, Weathertech floor mats, Fog light any-time mod, Pop-n-lock, slotted front rotors with ceramic pads, BenWa power rear slider mod, blackout badges, and blacked out center stack and console. 7" HID's behind the grill. LED light bar in the lower grill. Trailer plug relocate. Auxiliary reverse LED's wired in to be manual or auto on when in reverse.
    They are very easy to install, I have a set on my Civic Si, wife's Subaru Legacy, and a set of low beams for my Aprilia RSVR, and a set on order for the Taco, will most likely go with the 55w set with relay in the 4.3K (whitest light in the kelvin spectrum), and adjust them down to keep from blinding others even though MY safety is priority above the next guy on the road. This is my motorcycle rider survival mentality.;)

    I have 6K 55W's for the headlights and 3K 35W's for the fogs. I also adjusted my headlights downwards, well I did anyways after my 3" lift was put on.

    that's awesome, but also unfortunate, because i have a feeling that once i do the headlights and fogs, my offroad's are gonna look like little flashlights

    I've lost track
    The fog lights are a different kit...but is way simpler then the headlight. the headlights have a high low controller and then a positive that runs to the battery and then a ground. fog lights is only a ballast and bulbs. its an h10 kit that the factory plug from your fogs goes straight into the ballast, then to the bulb. very simple took ten minutes to instal fogs.

    and there are some threads on here about installing hid bulbs into off road lights. Ive looked into it and i think there is some minor cutting to make it work but nothing big.

    this is on hella 500s
