Builds LX450 where to start! (1 Viewer)

[scottryana]

Some subjective data. Since I have both the stock halogen and LED in on low I can see the difference between the two better than the camera picks it up. The LED has about 15-20% more throw.

Another thing I was thinking about is I don't think a stock 80 could use the LED lows on the passenger side either because of the overflow bottle.

Hope that helps anyone on the fence. They are flamethrowers, if they last 16-18 months at $103 a pair they are totally worth it, but I wouldn't pay VLEDs price of $250.

Finally made it to the end!!!

Amazing build! Thanks for sharing, especially your experience and advice on turbos.

Came here from the turbo thread...but if you're contemplating the B8 S4 you could also do a C6 or C7 A6 with the 3.0T as well. We have an 09 A6 avant with that motor and it's a great car, surprisingly fast and sporty for a bigger comfy car.

You could buy this with 47k miles on it....

Thanks for the suggestions guys, it probably got lost in the posts but more than likely I will take the LX and the LS and maybe buy a motorcycle.

Time to start unsucking all the accessory wiring and doing it as right as I am able. Not being electrically inclined I am sure it won't be ideal but has to be better than what has been done.

Ok intermission!

Well we have reached the halfway point of my build thread.

I have been thinking most of it is "What" I do to the the truck and not "Why" I do it. So I am going to do just a single photo from a unique trail in my quest to do 70 trails in 70 days. Most of them won't be 4x4 trails they will be hiking or biking trails but the LX will get me to the trailhead of each
