again I have had them about a year with 0,and i repeat ZERO, problems. No Flickering or failure in any weather condition. This is a kit from china yes, I'm sure most chinese kits are crap, but as I said I did my research before buying and these work just fine, and I didnt need to buy projectors because the celica has them stock. It would be awesome if the 86 came stock with hid's...but I don't wanna spend $1000 more for stock HID's if I can get it with stock projectors and get the hid's myself. If that's not understood then I just give up.

And if you're my friend and club members that know me they'll respect that and respect is much better than props.

I'm debating whether I want to put in my sub. On one hand, that's a lot of extra weight in a car that's whole purpose is being lightweight, but on the other hand, I can't imagine driving without a good sound system, and a decent sub is required for that. I suppose I could just do what I do now and take it out for track days.

I agree. Having a good sound system is important to me, I already have alot of the components that I bought for the girlfriend for xmas last year that still haven't made it into her car because its so unreliable I'm not putting all that work in to have to rip it out later lol
