Re: Headlight wiring help 2 questions

Headlight wiring help 2 questions

Hey all, so my lights suck. I’m going to do the projector retrofit and I’ve got all the parts I need, including a spare set of headlights so I can just swap from one to the other. On top of that I’ve already unhooked the headlight extensions the recall installed

Re: Wiring to headlights badly corroded.

Heater core. And since I only watched the how to video once I didn’t remember where to clamp the lines off so I’m really glad I had a full jug of euro fluid after my impromptu coolant bath. Fun times.

Has anyone tried aluminum foil to fix headlights?

Ok I know this will sound a bit weird but I’ve been thinking about how we could improve the shitty reflectors without spending $$$. I’m about to do the cheap projector mod and I’m going to play around with a spare set of lights before, so I was thinking about trying to cover the insides with the ...

Re: Cv boot torn, replace boot or whole axle?

Here’s some pics I just took of what I could. I tried the bounce test and it just sounded like suspension. Either my fat ass couldn’t hit it enough to replicate or it’s not happening now

Re: Cv boot torn, replace boot or whole axle?

To clarify a couple points, they’re all the same size (205/55/16) at least

The clunk is only on the “potholes” in front of my driveway (only time I notice it really) and it just sounds like someone is knocking in muffled metal, like the floor (this isn’t where the sound is coming from just trying ...
