So I can replace this one? Is it a readily available bulb ? Thank You, Brad

If anyone can answer this even though I'm afraid to hear the answer. I thought I had no headlight problems but just found out I'm wrong...I never have the car put at night for fear of what I've read on here. Yet when I've moved the car , I've always checked all the lights. Now one is out so I...

So far my lights are O.K. Is it just the lack of parts when they do go bad or do they also go bad more than other cars ? I had thought about the cold air intake but on this site, many people said it caused warning lights to come on , etc. so was afraid to do it. What about tires, do you have...

P.S. Do you have run-flats on the car ?

Hi, lots of luck with your new car. I bought an '05 in March and also didn't know about the lack of available headlights or taillights. I have other cars even older and wouldn't have that problem if I needed them so didn't think about it when I purchased the XLR. A lot of postings on here keep...

This the first time I've seen the same wheel that came on the 2005 I bought in March.They are Niche ? You have run flats or regular tires ? Do you have hubcentric rings to make them fit exactly on the hub ? Thanks

I always change my Alfa, Mercedes and Eldorados oil myself with an old pair of metal ramps. Now I assume I need low profile ramps to do the XLR. Looking at a pair of Rhino ramps that say low profile due to 17 degree incline and then seem to lift car high enough. Other more expensive low ramps...

Put it on yourself ?

What is X-Pel ?

The tires the previous owner put on are 255/35/20 all around ...so the speedometer and odometer are reading correctly then ? Thanks

Thanks for cheering me up....lol

Thanks. I think you're right. I know from past experience, someone can hit you on that one small Sunday joy ride. Just was afraid to put the top up and down for a short ride because of all the parts I see moving. Also love shifting it manually....hope that's alright for it as well.

Michael Hi, spoke to you in the past about the sway bar. Just saw this old Post of yours and have a a question if you get a chance. The XLR I bought came with the same size tires you have in the front. I have 255/20's all around. No one I've asked at tire places knows the answer. Are my...

I feel the same way.... afraid to drive too much....afraid to put top up and down too much.

Thanks, will check it out tonight but doesn't sound like it will look ok with brackets on the roll bars....damages them ?..stays there all the time ? Thanks.
