And what your plans are with it...
We picked this up on the weekend.. SE with tech, wife already scuffed underside of bumper
List of immediate plans in no particular order
LED's interior and license plate
trailer hitch (mostly just for bike rack)
HID's- last few vehicles have had factory hid's or I have retrofitted complete assemblies- usually curse people who do it- but if you can't beat 'em, join 'em I guess

^ hahah dude.I ordered the same color!!
I "might" paint the wheels, or leave em stock for the time being.
Planning to change to LED interior lights and license plate lights, install HIDs.
He wouldn't budge under MSRP, so it was merely the savings on the trade in of the car (my vehicle trade in on black book was $24,300, GM said $23500, and sales guy brought it up to $24,200, and extra accessories and extra oil changes).

You have to remove the rear hatch inner panel to get at the license plate ones though...

Rub a little bit on the front on the tabs when full turn , slight rub not rubbing, tires doesn't hit the fenders on bumps. No fender work, no pull or roll! I think my fronts are in the lowest setting while the back still has 1 finger gap

Those are some killer people haulers!
I hate my 2011 Odyssey. The wife has scuffed it up, and it drives like a big civic. Thankfully we're out of the van phase and can justify a nice SUV or big wagon. I'd take a turbo Forester over my Odyssey anyday.
But it's funny to see so many people I considered "young" members in the same situation I was a decade ago when I bought my first Odyssey.  | |

The kids were comfortable, and I averaged just under 11L/100km.
that's a win.

Would only be a problem if got home late and tried to not let wake while getting them inside. Doubt the wife will even notice, told her I was working on Jeep last night...

get the 4runner you fucks, or even a used sequoia. them things is naice.
but sienna's are reliable as fuck. parents bought ours new in 01. thing is still going strong at 302k km with all original engine components. no lie. all we've ever done to it is basic maintenance and changed the battery out a couple of times. i think the starter is finally starting to shit itself though..
oh i almost forgot, our keys are worn down quite a bit. so now when its started and running you can just pop the key out of the ignition, just like them good ol chevy's. lol

So lil' update.
I installed rain guards and yellow tint to the fog lights, and ordered some interior LED lights, and installed 4300k HID kit.
Now, I'm looking to replace the fog light bulbs, but need some insight.
I don't want blinding fogs, so I'm not opting for HID fogs.
I've done some researching and found the following fog light bulbs for sale:
Nokya hyper yellow
Hella Optilux yellow
Hoen endurance yellow
Piaa Ion Crystal yellow (Crazy expensive)
Just wanted to know if you guys had any experience on any of the above, and which ones are closest to 2500k.
thanks!

HIDs in fogs arent blinding, had them in my sti before, and seen many ppl running HID fogs, never did i noticed them blinding. they're aimed relatively low and the beam pattern is so spread out so it shouldnt blind as much as HID in reflector low beams

I'm running the Nokya Hyper Yellows in my fogs as DRLs so they are pretty much on all the time. For bulbs that are supposed to burn out pretty quickly, my passenger fog bulb is still burning bright after 2 years, my driver's fog bulb burnt out last month, so pretty long-lasting for a cheap $20 tinted bulb that's actually pretty bright!

I have a 2013 Sienna (AWD XLE model), and am purchasing a 4300k HID kit from XenonDepot too. Did you guys use the relay harnesses for the install, or is that not necessary for our car?
For the yellow bulbs, I used the Hella Optilux Yellow H11s on my last car for over a year and there were no issues to the moment it was sold. I haven't tried the other ones you listed though so I can't comment on how "yellow" they are compare to one another.

I'm also on the boat of possibly getting a mini van. Can anyone chime in as to what are the pros and cons of having an 8-seater mini van vs. full-sized SUV (i.e. Honda Pilot)?
