Thinking Of Doing Some Modifications, Ideas Or Comments?

Hey everyone, I am new here, but have had a 1991 LS400 for about two years now.

I have been looking around for some simple, cheap mods to do to just make my car look better. My car is maroon on top and a greyish mov color on the bottom. I have bought bright headlights and thats about it so far. There are three things that I am set on doing and I'd like some quick feedback/suggestions or even new mods you can suggest.

Idea #1: Tint Rear Tail Lights Slightly Dark (lighter than in pic becuase its illegal in California)

http://www.custommagnums.com/forums/stylin...taillights.html (tape off brake lights)

Idea 2: New Ignition LED (I was thinking either blue or white led)

Idea 3: Remove Yellow From Fog Lights

Thanks for any input or suggestions, and sorry for the really big pictures.

A lot of guys over there are heavy into doing modifications.

The only modification I support would be the ignition ring. Tinted taillights look stupid IMO and decrease visibility for other drivers. Also, believe it or not, removing the yellow glass from the foglights decreases their usefulness significantly. Yellow light is much better at penetrating fog than white light. If you do decide to remove the yellow glass, try to find yellow bulbs, if they even exist.

I see exactly what you mean, but there isn't much fog in San Diego. I have never actually had to use my fog lights, but I see where you are coming from. I just purchased a white and blue led for the ring, and need to decide which one I like better.
