friggin sweet! i wish i could take good "artistic" pics like that. now lets see what it looks like during the day
what foglight are those and how did u mount them? i would like to get more light output when i drive at night. i have brand new wanger bulbs but its still not bright enough. ive even adjusted them a million times. dunno if its just these sealed beams aint as bright or my adjustment is still off. can u also take a pic of the front to see what it looks like in the daylight?
awesome ride. i love the 91-92 birds

there lexus is300 foglights... with 100w h3 bulbs in them... and heres a front day time shot for ya with them in
how much do those go for? do u still have the black plastic cover things on there? whats involved in installing it?
it dont look bad at all from the front. i used to have square foglights installed that i bought from a parts store. had 'em each next to the turn signal so i couldnt use those black covers. looked great at night but after a while i hated the look of the front during the day without those covers. round lights definitely look better.

i got lucky and got the pair for 38$ on ebay.... its from an older model is300.... the newer ones are quite pricey in the 150-200$ range... so just try and keep and eye out on ebay... the black kinda grill pieces (dont know what else to call them) i took off because i didnt want to cut giant holes in them incase i ever wanted to return it back to stock looking.... installing them was pretty easy... take the nose off.... and then its just a matter of drilling 3 holes into the plastic then bolting them lights down... then wiring them... i didnt have factory foglights so i had to wire everything myself... and if you do decide to upgrade to 100watt bulbs... make sure you buy a 20 amp switch... because they pull around 8 amps each.... i didnt have a problem melting one of those cheap 10 amp switches... i also mounted them somewhat forwards... so their not sitting right next to the turnsignals... this way i could aim them downwards and get more light onto the ground.... because if they were back where the turnsignals were... you couldnt really aim them down.. but more forwards... and would lose alot of output on the ground close to the car

Nice looking shots.
If it were mine I'd get stock foglights, tint the windows, trim the tips back so they're a little more hidden and drop it an inch or so.
Awesome.

I take it you set the shutter speed to a slower setting for the RPM tach?

yea they stick out just a tad
they'll be put inwards more once i get around to changing the exhaust around.... and yea i slowed down the shutter for the tach pic and revved it a little to get that effect.
