JDM F22A
Cold air
Catback Exhaust

So, after some long hard thinking, I ran a DRL setup on my USDM headlights. I've seen DRL's done on JDM headlights before, but only saw DRL's on a usdm accord once, accordztech has it. I was inspired, and it's up and running.

Lights:
9005 "jdm yellow" luminics in my high beams
9005 sylvania silverstars in my low beams.

thats a nifty way to use up the center console! nice car.

thanks. I'm still workin on the box in that center console. It needs to be re-made because some asshole hit the speaker cover I made and dented it at some point. Now the speaker hits the cover if it's turned up too loud, and makes a horrible sound. It really adds to the imaging of the audio in the car. I love it. Everyone who's ever ridden in my car loves it. But I want to make it look a little nicer then it does currently.

thanks. I love doin my own work on my car. The DIY stuff is always fun, especially when it turns out so good. The headlights arn't too hard. I can help ya out for free, no biggie, but you do need an oven.

I don't have my car up this semester. Parents are still keeping it from me. I'll have it next school year though. I'll be back up here a lot over spring break though. I can definatly help you guys out with the blackhousing, it's not too hard and it looks awesome. Just kinda time consuming.

Nice blackhousing the lights "How did u do it" ???

[dwf137]

Thanks. I love the headlights..

I followed these instructions roughly.. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=9922

It's pretty self explainatory when you start taking stuff apart.

Check out what I just recieved in the mail from patastinky...



5th gen accord ex maplight. saweeet! it's grey, so now i've gota paint it to match my tan, then try to install this biatch in my accord. I'm so excited! Also got a set of nice cb7tuner.com stickers thanks to ironman!

edit* I updated my plans for the car. I've changed to an h22. I was excited about the turbo setup, but I really dont think i'm mechanically capeable quite yet to have it as a daily driver, and I want some power. I'm going to get the h22, and hopefully do some minor n/a stuff to that untill this car is not my daily driver, then boosting the h22 in a few years when this is just a project car..
