Finally, I am picking up this 5th gen tomorrow. I am pretty excited to join the 5th gen community. Plus, it's got some mods on it so I can concentrate on working to pay it off

Looks good (especially Sunlit Sands)!! I would get rid of those projector headlamps, though. The light output from those are terrible. Upgrade to the HID's if you can grip your hands on a decent set (not stolen ones like on Ebay). But anyway, welcome to the 5th gener forum.

you mean 6k hid bulbs? the ebay projectors give out poor output no matter what you put in there. you are not going to get good output unless you retro fit them with some other projectors. so that is why were telling you to get something else. personally i never had those headlights, but from real personal testomonies, id stay away from them. nice car BTW

Do you know what projectors are in there?
If it is already a retro, then you are in good hands then.

I'm not sure what projectors they are. All I know is that he upgraded the angel eyes LEDS to make them brighter or to something of that matter

Yeah, get rid of those projectors, they are crap. Get the 2k2's smoked w/ DDE's, that would look nice. OR, paint the inside of the 2k2's body color w/ DDE's, that would be even more fresh, imo.
