My IS200 Blog - Colin G - 13-05-2021
Think I've decided not to go down the graphics route, far to much for a daily driver.
Got the exhaust fitted the other weekend. Its got a nice note under acceleration but on idle or sitting at steady speeds is still very quiet (might be getting the centre box removed to get a little more noise).
Also, been doing the headlights ready to swap over once finished
My mother weren't to pleased when she came through the door after a week away to find headlights in the oven :lol: :lol: :lol:
Black insert and angel eyes (decided to leave the amber indicator lense in)

Hey Colin Was meant to do the same job this weekend just passed, but due to bad weather i gave it a miss. i want to prevent any moisture getting into the lights as best as possible because the last thing i want is misted up headlights, i think just for good measure i'll pop the lights back in for a few seconds more once the lens and the shroud are stuck back together just to evaporate any moisture that might fiond its way back in during the finishing stages i'll let you know how it goes

Just be careful doing that, as someone tried and burnt all the lens,
Moister is a pain and I sometimes get it after jet washing the car but it soons goes when u remove a side light bulb and have ur lights on

Cheers Andy.
ZAIS200 - Just had a look at yours, looks good fitted to the car mate. I notice you have kept the amber lense too.
Fingers crossed, I will get mine swapped over tomorrow being I have most of the day to myself, they are both done and sitting in my bedroom waiting patiently to be fitted, was going to fit them Saturday but had so much stuff come up, I never got the spare time to do it.

Yeah thanks Colin, I decided to keep the orange lenses as i prefered the look of them in, without them they looked a bit plain or bland against the black body paint

Finally found the time to swap my lights over
Also, whilst I had the lights out, finally swapped my main beams over for the HID's that I've had sitting in the garage for I don't know how long
Couple of during shots, with one done and one to go

Which uprated high beam bulbs have you gone for mate? They match the HID's well.
