Dude, seriously....



It's all fun and games around here until someone starts blowing oil...


Not to hijack, but the oil burning issue will be resolved in around a month. Putting in a new engine. Once the new engine is in, I'll tear down the old and find the cause. At that point, the rest of you will need to bow down to my superior knowlege before I let out what's causing it!

The plate light is a good idea, now you're gonna need vanity plates (if you don't already have them). Can't wait to see the superlux pics!

Interesting, I'll bet they kept the money though didn't they? Anyway, I like the idea of your LED license plate lights, but only if they're no brighter than stock. This way you'd never have to worry about replacing the bulbs because they burned out, but you wouldn't draw extra attention to yourself from the pigs either.

maxima112, my dome light also is a piece. Yank the whole piece off and pull it through the ceiling. Remove the lens with a screwdriver/cloth like it says in the manual. Pull the bulb out. Where the bulb sits in the car, bend the lower piece of metal contact upwards or downwards until you can set the bulb in and get better contact. Just be careful not to bend it too much, as it'll break. Mine is barely hangin in there and never works. Honks me off. hth

haaha...sounds like a quote you'd hear in "the fast and the furious"...oh, and the more unreadable your license plate is, the more the cops wanna find out why.
