You need to research more into your cars warranty as you'll find changing the exhaust is almost exactly the same as doing the intake. If its proven that was the cause of the problem, then you have nothing to fall back on, but if it wasn't you're fine.

Ah damn, didn't really think of that, probably should run it through with the dealer and see what they say lol. That or yolo it and do it anyway

There's a thread here somewhere, but wasn't very clear about it.

Red, Brown, Black..

The red wire is what makes the flashing. Depending on what you want, swapping the red with the brown wire will only make it flash when you turn your headlights on. That also depends on how you set up the wiring with your tail lights.

Just found a problem, just came back home from work, was testing out the foglights on the RR kit, and I knew the beam pattern was crap, but man, the cut off.. like I said before was for LHD. It was lighting up all the trees on the right hand side of the road, and you could imagine how blinding it could have been for coming drivers, turned it off immediately.

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Could I use that? since this has a specially designed cover to stop any glare?

Only thing you can do is aim it right down towards the ground, if you can.

Blah, it could be because I'm using HIDs in the RR foggies. And the RR foggies have some sort of bulb/lens thing that makes it look like a projector but isnt. Maybe I should revert back to halogens =[

If only I can transplant the stock OEM foggies into the RR. I miss my oem foggies already ... blah.

Could try cutting them to fit, but I wouldn't recommend it, as it'll be a bitch of a job to do.

You could put in some low lumen yellow bulbs so they aren't so bright but still serve a purpose?

the 3000k HIDs? Recommend any?

But it's too JDM for me, I alawys wanted pure white light, no blue, and maybe a tinge of yellow.

=[ compromises must be made..

though, regardless of the colour light, wouldn't it still be blinding/bright, if the cut-off is all the way into the trees?

I haven't looked into HIDs myself, but I run phillips crystal vision in my headlights and footlights and they're pretty white for regular halogens.

Maybe only use your fog lights when you need the extra light, e.g. when you're driving down a poorly lit road and require extra light.

Figured that if i wasn't satisfied with the noise level id just chop off the resonator on top that

Would do intake but engine warranty isn't something I want to void haha :(

Chop your resonator and it'll make a huge difference. Im happy with my Varex :)

Keep your stock airbox and if anything happens then put it back on? lol

This is my car with the Resonator Chopped off. Still has one resonator and cat.

I'll just use my old Osram nightbreakers I have hidden somewhere, guess the RR foglights only suit halogen bulbs. it does say ( NO HID) on the foglight itself.
