Fresno/Cencal FR-S/BRZ Owners

It seems like the cutoff isnt bad in these cars with a PnP kit as long as you bend the squirrel finders down. i can post some pics here in a few weeks if you guys want.

That would be Kool, I have no idea what I'm doing with headlight's lol. Barely started to do some of my own stuff on this car.

Obviously my BRZ came with HID & DRLs but wenever they come factory like that,they always forget th fogs! Ive been experimenting with the newer LED bulbs lately(on my truck) & so I ordered a set of LEDS for Biarzi,theyre called Cree LEDS,11watt. I put em on and holy mother of God!! When I bought them they even had higher wattage available(I saw up to 60w )Anyways I ended up getting them in a T10 bulb as well and putting them in the sidemarkers,license,& reverse as well. There might be some pics in my garage of them,if not I can get some up.

Basically what I forgot to say in that epistle is that if I were doing a headlight mod,I dont know that I would go HIDs..I have 3 sets on my 06 F250 and yes theyre amazing but...alot of work with wiring & relays(proper) versus plugging a kick-ASS bulb in! Ive been running mine for 2 weeks now & I checked the wiring,its fine,so know heat problems either.

Cool another owner in Modesto! Hope you can make the NorCal meet next month, we're planning a caravan from the valley to Livermore.

I actually see quite a few twins in our area but only a couple are active on this board.

I know a really good place in the town i live in (madera) but i don't know of any in fresno. The place is called Silva's auto body if you want to check it out. the address is 201 South C Street Madera, CA 93638 here's there phone #(559) 674-8591 They are closed today though. I've been dealing with them for a long time, they installed the side mirrors on my sis's celica when the factory mirror's motor's died. The new mirrors came unpainted and so we had Silva's install and paint the mirror's and they did an excellent job with matching the paint, especially since the whole car has been repainted an aftermarket color. I'll see if i can get some pictures of the car later when i get off of work for you.
