i used the same lowering springs for my yaris. my yaris is a 09 so it came with running lights already. i do plan on getting yellow foglights soon. i see ur running lights are really bright. you could spray tint them without losing much brightness.

Curious if you did that yourself or went to a shop, and how much!

I have the springs to lower mine, I just don't want to spend $700 to put them on!!

Thanks for the nice comments guys

$700 to fit springs?

I had them fitted for £100 which is about $160

e3p0,

it isn't that bad to install them yourself. it does take some time and one specialty tool is required (spring compressor). I went to advance auto (also, autozone, and oreileys) and did their loan a tool program and got to use the tool for free. you do have to bring it back.

an impact gun helps too. a friend of mine had an electric one. it worked great. I will say there were some frustrating times while doing my install. here is the install guide I found a while back.

yeah i searched on EBAY but could only get find the strips of LEDs not the one where it was housed in the fog light. the link you provided does ship to the U.S. but the shipping itself was almost $80. O___O

Nips, what kind of paint did you put on your stock rims? powder coat or workshop kind of paint? I need to paint my rims since it's starting to peel off. :iono:

Don't mind the gap between the unit and the bumper... thats only with the facelifted versions (2009+), the angel eye units will fit your car perfectly! :)

Thanks for the nice comments

The pics are dark yes need to tweak them again, i chopped them on a LED mac screen and they looked alot brighter.

I had angel eyes already and prefer the stock headlights, tempted to do the projector conversion one day
