Appreciate that Phil! So far my luck has been both good and bad as evidenced in my last post. Currently I have around 8k in the car including the parts I ordered for the cooling/AC assembly. Fortunately everything seems to work as far as the electronics are concerned. Whether I can keep this...

2004 Cadillac XLR Rebuild - Part 2 So we left off last night thinking that the car was going to be an easy rebuild. A simple buy new headlights/tail lights and tighten a few things down, easy right? Well it would be except the car pictured above is not what arrived at my door... It is in fact...

Headlights Hi Phil, believe it or not those are actually my headlights on ebay. Long story, but basically when I bought the car I assumed the headlights and tail lights were missing, as seen in the photos. So I kind of jumped the gun and bought headlights from a guy in Pheonix. Now the funny...

So here it is, a thread documenting my journey bringing an XLR back to life. My intention is to give others the chance to follow my progress, from the day of delivery, to the day I get it back from the paint shop. Along the way I will post updates, pictures, small guides and pretty much anything...

I'll definitely have to do more research then. I wasn't aware there were any structural changes between 04 and 05, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me either haha. Hopefully I can find an example of someone else doing it on an 04. I really like the 09 bumper/grill combo, but I'm not going to do...

I assume the application would be the same for 04. I'm currently rebuilding an 04 that will need a new bumper cover(assembly) and have considered doing this myself, the only thing holding me back is the cruise control situation. It sounds like it worked out great for 1BADXLR, but I'm still a tad...

V Happy, Apologize for bumping an old thread. I saw it was from 2015 but didn't pay attention to the month. I'll make sure to pay better attention next time and use a PM for older messages. That said, thank you for your reply! I will go with the OEM V radiator just to save myself from the...

@ AL_Jazz, Wondering if you ever figured out how to run the oil through the unused cooler? I'll be replacing my radiator soon but have been back and forth on whether to go OE or aftermarket. I stand to save around $150 with the latter, but I'm always nervous going aftermarket when it comes to...

I'm looking to download a digital copy of the XLR Service Manual and was wondering if anyone else has located an online source for this. I really don't want to pay $300+ for hard copies and thought digital would be substantially cheaper. After a little searching on this forum I found a post...

Big shout out to XLRAL, the guy from Phoenix called me back and we made a deal. $500 shipped for the pair and they look almost brand new. Again, much appreciated! Everyone, please feel free to continue posting on this thread if any others are found available. We all know how rare these lights...

Thank you both for the quick replies! Really appreciate you finding those lights in Phoenix XLRAL. I called the ad and left a message, here's to hoping they're still available! I'll update the thread if and when I purchase lights, until then please continue posting if you have any ideas, I need...

Good Afternoon everyone, First post here, wish it was under better circumstances... I recently purchased an XLR from Jersey and I'm desperately looking for a drivers side headlight in decent condition. I've called nearly every major junkyard coast to coast and no luck so far. Plenty of...
