Here's a pic if what I'm talking about...
Sweet, thanks for the pic. Fortunately, I work in engineering so I've got all the tools I need at the office :p

japanparts or Nigel JDM are good choices. I think the wait time is like at least 3 weeks though.

I got mine from here: http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/toyota...front-arm-rest
I got it when they were selling it for $198.

It's the OEM one from Europe and I love it, it's the perfect height.

My only gripes about it was that I had to drill into the console which was nerve wrecking. They don't supply you with templates either so you got to find it on your own. I actually found it somewhere on this forum but I'm pretty sure if you searched for it then you'll find it.

Yep, it took a little bit over a month for me to receive mine.

FYI that center console is about $40 or less shipped from Subarugenuineparts.com, so if you did screw up badly it's not that worst thing in the world to screw up on.

I love the look of yellow fogs on the just about any cars out there.



I also waxed the car today.

I installed the OEM arm rest a few days ago too. Ignore how dirty the car is, I took this picture right after I installed it.

The stock and the Nokya ones that I have on are very low wattage. They don't help much at night and are more for looks imo. I'm actually a little upset at the brightness of them so I'm thinking of buying glass housings and converting them to something brighter.

I used a dremel tool but I had to file down the sharpening stone so it could fit. Not the cleanest method, but it worked!

3000K HIDs might be what you're looking for, then?

I've had them on my previous car and it was great - but they did kinda looked like neons from the back when I pointed them downwards
