Good to have another enthusiast. These cars are getting rare! I think older Corvette guys are starting to cross over to the GT side of sports cars so the XLR is gaining some respect. It's still not fast but it's a great cruiser and nobody knows what it is. Vettes are a dime a dozen anymore. I...

No, all bulbs accessible only with assembly out. It's actually easy to pull the assembly once you know how. While you have it out, replace all the bulbs. I did all mine with LED. Now the turn signal hyper flashes but it isn't going to melt the lens anymore. Fog bulbs are accessed the same way...

Careful with the complete inspections of major systems. Don't let them con you into any big repairs/ upgrades. If you don't have any warnings or check engine lights etc. Leave it alone😉 if they do find any major problems ask to visually inspect it on the lift with the mechanic. You will need to...

Nice setup. Where did you stick on the resistors, do they get hot enough that it's a worry? Everything around the fenders/engine compartment is plastic , SMC. The new LED bulbs I have ended up not doing switchback, and they hyper flash, which I don't mind. No dash warnings, so that's great. Will...

I did the same thing, a lot of testing inside my garage. Not enough light to disable the headlights suggested popup. Lol . We don't have switchbacks, but at least we got nice led bulbs and cool amber DRL.

I don't think you can override the adaptive cruise control. I'm sure if you remove the radar sensor the system stops working altogether.

Mine are LED and working, but they are only Amber. Which makes sense since the original wiring implies only a single filament ever gets power. The white never gets any power with our sockets. I think I was mistaken that the white ever worked. Its really hard to test the DRL cuz you have to be in...

Which ones do you have Mickeytee? I've gotten very good at removing the headlight housings!

I've got all the other bulbs in the headlights working. All replaced with new LEDs..side markers are good, parking lights are good, fog lights good, etc. I had to turn a few around to get the "polarity" correct for the LEDs. I'm trying to remember if I ever actually saw the switchbacks working...

found this. as i suspected. but why did the switchbacks work for 2 weeks and just stop? and why doesnt it illuminate my amber all the time as DRL? and why dont the old bulbs work ? quoted from an old thread I think I may have figured out why the 'switch back' LED bulbs do not work with the...

DRL turned off ?? i was wondering about that... it was always working normally. But now it seems like its off? how do i turn it ON I have the headlight stalk in auto, and have tried many other settings, combos. Is there a setting somewhere? Today with the new sylvania filament bulbs 3757A ( i...

Ok latest news. Looked at grounds they are very clean. Pulled the headlight housing and ohm tested several bulb bases and grounds have continuity. It's not a ground issue. I did fix the orange flasher issue on the left side. With some wiggling of the bulb I discovered...Tiny contacts on the...

https://www.vxdiagshop.com/wholesale/vxdiag-vcx-nano-for-gm-opel.html I bought this one a year ago, it's wired. You set it up on a laptop. Older laptop is better, newer windows security etc doesn't like this unit. It took a bit to get the computer to communicate with the reader and the car. But...

Yup I will do that tonight after midnight when I get home from work. Update, i didn't do anything yet... Now both orange blinker LEDs are acting normal. Right one doesn't think it's the DRL anymore. And left one works again. Both blinkers working normal again. But both DRL don't function. At...

It's the switchback specialty led bulbs from superbrightleds
