think those lights are good?
they wouldn't fit directly...also for RHD, wouldn't the light pattern be off?

interesting idea nonetheless...

They're two-piece, they should fit. As for the beam pattern, I have no idea. They also make them with a smoked housing.

My friend was there for 4 months and I was talking to him on the phone trying to figure out what to get for my max. The problem was, he couldn't find a shop that sold car **** in his area. He was in Okazaki which is not a small town, but it is more like suburbia. He didn't even know what to ask for in Japanese...

i test drove 2 99 altimas that were like that, both had this fuzzy material that went all around the armrest.....the thing that sucked was that it had this ***gy flower pattern all over it. It didn't look custom, but i haven't seen it on other cars.

shinjuku and shibuya are defintely fun but if youre in tokyo you need to hit up roppongi as well - this is the district that absolutely adores foreigners - throw your US passport down on the table and watch the girls flock to you the way riceboys flock to racing stickers -

you hit the nail on the HEAD, my friend. roppongi ROCKS! just make sure your friend (if he's japanese) tries to get the cab. drivers won't stop for gaigin (foreigners) and trains quit about midnight.

Ditto both your statements...Ropongi was da shiznit, even on a Sunday night (went in 2000)! Usually the natives just stay out all night until the trains start running again in the morning; I saw a lot of sleepy clubheads crawling home the morning before...
