    Headlight Lenses Available

    Great for those who need a lens, no wonder they sold quick!! Could easily do a clear ppf like expel on the new lenses to protect them from UV and cracks. I bet these resurrect a few cars👍

    Shocks XLR

    quick question, i just recently replaced all my shocks with Bilsteins. Tricked the stability control system with 8 resistors. one for each strut and each ride height sensor. I'm trying to get a stock measurement at all four wheels now for height adjustments. can you measure the ground to edge of...

    Lower bumper breakaway shield ???

    could you run with just a center skirt and leave off the sides? this is nearly invisible , way under the car. the only time i notice if a car has one is if its ripped and hanging down. lol i know its cheesy, but really if parts are no longer available, i dont think it would be noticeable.

    a car that has suffered indignities

    Oh my that's horrible. Easy enough to return to stock... There's gotta be spare hoods around!

    Shocks XLR

    i used the b8 bilsteins, its stiffer than stock, depends on your local roads, if you like it or not. i think the b6 would have been too soft. maybe the zo6 is the best. i was setup with the b8 by a local corvette specialist shop. thats what they do all the vettes that arent setup for racing...

    Intermittant light for stability control

    ride height sensors can be disabled with a resistor kit, when you switch to non magnetic shocks. with a tech 2 it is relatively easy to diagnose which shock or which ride height sensor is malfunctioning. if you do 4 standard shocks like mickeytee was suggesting, the resistor kit will have 8...

    replaced battery now car will not start

    From an old thread here... Do the brake lights work correctly? Ie, do they come on with pressure on the brake pedal and go off when you take your foot off? If not, consider a fault in the brake pedal position sensor and/or circuit. The BPPS can be recalibrated with a Tech-2. If you have a...

    replaced battery now car will not start

    i was reading today , but cant find it now, brake pedal recalibration/relearn can solve the weird ignition switch /start with brake pedal issues. if it keeps happening, replace brake switch and do relearn should be permanent fix.

    replaced battery now car will not start

    hi all , let me look to see if i ever posted about this from when i swapped my battery... same exact thig happened. eventually after multiple attempts to "wake up" the car it worked. and never happened again. just keep trying to open close the door, lock and unlock the car with the fob, put the...

    Top not working

    awesome update. that was by far your biggest hurdle. cd player, i've never used. lol, hood struts? i got a stick for that! tpms is a pita but very doable , any local shop can handle it, i wont bother doing myself as dismounting tires is too difficult without a machine. by the time you recreate...

    Brakes sticking when warm (solved - pedal interference)

    Now you have a nice xlr V, and a tech2. Two toys that most would love to be in command of.

    Brakes sticking when warm (solved - pedal interference)

    Omg congrats!! It wasn't that silly. Took a tech 2 to find it. It's always a relief when you finally get to the bottom of something. Go have a brewski!!

    Brakes sticking when warm (solved - pedal interference)

    Half my battle was figuring out the right order to powering up and plugging in the tech2 clone. Once I got it to communicate with the car properly, it was very helpful to check systems and clear codes etc. It looks like you aren't getting good comm. Yet.

    Brakes sticking when warm (solved - pedal interference)

    Yes you need to be in ign on mode, not just acc mode. That's hold the acc button down for 3 to 5 seconds. I do diagnostics with the charger hooked up. Doesn't seem to have any effect. Keeps the voltage in a better range.

    2025 XLR

    Can still grab nice one, many are low miles and depreciation is baked in now. I think I saw a sweet Nieman Marcus 04 on cars.com this past weekend. Personally I would go for an 07 and up. But that is one of the rarest of the rare. I like the purple, lol. I hunted for almost 2 years to find a...

    Brakes sticking when warm (solved - pedal interference)

    You need to scan with a tech 2 or clone. Could be some codes that will elucidate what's going on. I agree right now your are guessing it's something mechanical. I'm guessing it's something electrical. There's a lot of modules on this car😂. I agree with Mick here, the brakes work really good on...

    shocks

    I would do all 4. Is the same type. Even if they are not original, they must be getting old. 4 of the Chinese mag ride replacements. Should not need sims. If you module is good. I would do that. Mag ride does deliver a better ride for the Cadillac. If you want to go standard struts, do all 4...

    LED Turn Signals/DRLs

    Next dumb question. The bulbs under the orange side markers, are they amber or white. I'm getting led amber switchbacks for the drl/blinker, but no idea if the side marker bulbs should be clear or amber. Seems like the side markers take a 194 bulb... The same as the little triangle lights. I...

    LED Turn Signals/DRLs

    Question, if I get the LED bulbs for the drl/blinker, will it set off any service messages? Or just hyper flash. I'm not really interested in wiring in any resistors. Same question if I replace the side marker bulbs, the ones under the orange lenses, and I replace the little clear triangle...
