    LED fogs from TRS? was thinking of getting those, but how do you like them compared to your HID projector fogs?

    If brightness is the problem not saying they are, it may be from the yellow lamin X film. Turns out overlay film plus leds don't go well together..
    I recently posted a question on this matter cause I love yellow fogs. Not sure if I want trs or projector hids depending on what you think haha. XB LED Fogs now available! - Page 21

    looks really good, loving my TRS on my yaris too. Bino, do you mind taking a direct picture facing the leds fogs. Just wanna see how yellow the lamin-x looks like directly, cause I got a set of yellow lamin-x as well.

    Thanks

    you might be right.... I love yellow fogs but if the lights will be brighter without the film I might try it out without the film..... and if you want to personally see it you could swing by my place as you're pretty close to where I am......

    Looks good, been eyeing the TRS xB fogs for awhile..just wish they were more golden yellow though but I guess that's the take off between bright white leds..(deal breaker for me). LMK if you do decide to sell your projector fogs though sir i can come pick them up! ;)

    Is there any way you can get better pictures of the HKS, especially of the camber plates?

    Thanks.

    The alignment shop is trying to figure out if there's enough room to adjust the camber plates without removing the wipers and cowl panel, and/or dropping the coils completely from the car.

    From what I understand, it's like every standard camber plate where you loosen the hex bolts and move the strut body to achieve the camber you want. The only question left then is there enough room to do this easily?

    From the other thread, HKS is the only coils I found that has camber plates. If adjustment is too much of a pain, I would prefer to go with another manufacturer with no camber plates and eccentric camber bolts.

    Not ideal (smaller diameter of eccentric bolt is weaker), but easier to adjust.

    Not enough room unless you remove the cowl.. But it really isn't bad to remove it.. And u can drive around with it off..

    I looked again, and you're right. We'll have to go with eccentric bolts then.
