    Had some exterior mods done to my prius - headlight film & jdm plate.

    Next week i'm having it lowered on Eibach springs.

    I put the JDM plate on because the front bumper was already drilled for a license plate :mad:. That should hold me over until I get some plugs. Went with Lamin-X (Lamin-x Protective Films - Protect with Style) blue film on the headlights, and Lamin-X yellow film on the fog lights. Tint is llumar, 40% all around. I'll get a side profile shot of the tint up when I have my car lowered. Shades of Gray tinting in Philadelphia did all the work, took about an hour: Shades of Gray Window Tinting - Bucks County and Philadelphia

    So you're using standard bulbs with a yellow film?

    That's correct. I'll most likely switch over to some sort of hyper yellow fog light bulb when my oem bulbs burn out.

    Probably not, although i drive around with my lights on 24/7 and you can't really notice it in that case. Just makes the HID's look super blue/purple.

    LOL that plate had me going for a moment, I couldn't figure out how a guy in Philly had a plate from Fukuoka. If the cops give you a hard time tell them you just drove over and haven't had time to get to the DMV.

    My brother got ticketed for having a foreign front plate on his car in California. I drove my Eagle Talon for 10 Years with no front plate, and never got anything. How lucky do you feel? Personally, I don't get the foreign plate deal. In LA you see lots of Bimmer and Volvos where they add the regular CA plate over their Euro-delivery plate. I don't understand that either. "Look, I went to Europe to buy my car!" So what, who cares? ... if it works for you, go for it.

    I swapped out the original headlight assembly for the DNA smoked headlight.
