Morimoto fogs? How you feeling about fitment? There's a slight gap between the lens and the ring that will only bother you today. Tomorrow you'll have forgotten all abbout it.

Right side, the washer fluid reservoir was in the way. Looking back, l just followed the path most familiar :/. I pulled the bottom engine cover (whatever it's called) and then the panel right below the bulb. I didnt research how to do it beforehand. Just dove in.
Also, I have no opinion on "good" LEDs. I bought them off Amazon.

Today I did a little DIY fun! Made and installed a grounding kit, removed the air box silencers and did a G.A.B. mod.
After doing the grounding kit it costs me roughly $40 to make and 45 mins to install once the cover was off, pretty easy and straight forward. My quick review is the treble in the speakers is clearer and louder. Really no extra bass from the grounding however. The shifts are a hair quicker I'd say about 10% maybe 15% tops. The most noticeable and best thing I got from was the grounding was when shifting wide-open throttle near the rev limiter it shifts quicker so you do not have to predict your shifts a few seconds before you actually want it to shift. For a fun little project do it in my opinion was worth it but I wouldn't say it would be worth buying a pre-made kit or spending more than $60.
Now for the air box mod:
Air boxes removed
You can see the silencer sticking up with the air box removed on passenger side
Driver side silencer tube
The silencers
Boxes drilled before filling, smoothing and cleaning.
Boxes reinstalled
Boxes and grounding kit all done and put back together!
Quick review on the air box mod with silencers removed - Now this was a free mod and purely for the joy of wrenching on the car and getting a little more sound. The extra airflow from this may help but I would say it's negligible performance from the button dyno. However sound wise there is much more induction noise when the pedal is fully pressed to the floor and there is a hair more resonance in the cabin because of it. Driving around at normal speeds or accelerating without pushing the car to redline it sounds very similar to stock. More noise and less weight is a plus in my book haha.

Not much different than any Cold or Ram air intake, all of the holes are in front of the filter so it filters them the exact same way the box is just getting more air and eventually more dirt and water so a negative of this is I will need to clean my filters more often.

The boxes and silencers come out without removing the bumper what soever. You can get them out with just releasing the intake clamp and a bolt if you'd really like. Just have to do lots of wiggling

My though process is that with all the holes in the air box you are letting in more hot air in.. also i live in rainey Florida and go thru a some semi flooded roads.. but i do know that the silencers give some restriction.. go i think i will take them out... and i have seen the small holes. But i thought it was for water removal.
