Wow, I can get used to this! First I went to the BMW dealer to drop off something I forgot to put back in the X3, and when I walked out 4 salesmen were standing around it checking it out. They realized that it was their new competition!

Then I went to the mall with the wife. I had the DRLs off, just rockin the light tubes and the foglights at dusk. People were literally gawking as I drove (slowly :halo:) past the entrance. One guy was staring, and as I drove by I looked in my mirror and he did a complete 360. I don't get this kind of attention in my Porsche. Seriously.

My initial impressions will follow tomorrow, but let me just say that I am VERY impressed with this car so far...

how do u turn on just the light tubes w/o having the HIDs on?

I use the parking lights, this turns off the DRLs and turns on the light tubes. Then turn on the fogs, wow.

being a 22 year old kid having this car, the looks are pretty much normal
still makes me feel good tho
even tho some people are really creepy about it haha

very good

I know what you mean. I'm sure people think I'm driving my grandparent's or parent's car. :elvis1:

You can either turn on the parking lamps or just cycle the switch down to the "off" position. When you turn on the fogs, it automatically brings on the light tubes...

It doesn't matter if you're young or old....the car looks hot no matter who is driving it

i c...imma try that i love those light tubes as well as the rear ones so the main light only lights up when u brake....


im 20 years old and i get so many dirty looks by older people in shittier cars & especially at school.....and i put $6500 into my stereo system so the noise draws them in.

The light tubes at dusk probably look absolutely insane! You should take picture of that!

I'll definitely post lots of nice pics once the weather gets better. I've already washed the CTS once (in a touchless wash) and it's covered with road grime again...

whats a light tube ?
got a picture?
