[MONMIX]

Thanks a lot people.
Compliments comming from this group is extra meaningful.

I could not and most likly would not have done it had it not been for this site and many people here.
You can look at my truck and see bits and pieces from a lot of peoples trucks from this site.
Thanks to those who have swung by the shop to help me, to those who have given me ideas, and to the zillion threads and posts that have taught me so much.

Ben, thanks for the post man !!!!!!!

 

[jsun]

Very nice looking Sport! Congrats!

IMO...The only mod left is to paint the fender flares and bummper trim to black.

I am currious on the details for the Xenon fog lights mods procedure and cost?
Could you please shed some light for us? Nothing resulted in a search.

The fogs are the Lexus assy correct??? or just bulbs???

Cheers!

Well for starters I work in a body shop and we have a working relationship with Lexus of Annapolis, so we get more than a few Lexus in the shop.

On certain models of Lexus you can ONLY order the head light as a built assembely, meaning all the bulbs are included. So even if the head light has a deep scratch, or a broken tab it is the kit and kaboodle.
So that being said, I have a few bulbs and ingitors in my tool box.

Since my stock fogs are plastic and I was unsure of the heat factor I snagged some projector lenzes from a Tiberon that was a total loss. Epoxyed the Lexus bulbs into them. Made a new harness, and mounted the ingitors. ( balasts ) (sp? )

I did have to up the fuse a bit to compensate for the extra draw.

With the shrink tubing, and two harness pig tails from the junk yard the whole project cost me less than twenty dollars.

yes I love my job

Thanks for the kind words.
