    Finally I am an owner

    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...

    VLEDS DRL/Turn Signal

    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...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    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.

    Disable Adaptive Cruise Control

    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.

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    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...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    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...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    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...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    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...

    Tech 2

    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...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    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...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    update when using the 4way hazard lights (different flasher correct?) rears flash fine front right flashes fine front left still no flash so i i think this indicates either no power at all going to front left turn signal/drl circuit or the led switchback bulb circuitry got cooked completely. the...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    Recently installed all new LEDs in the headlights. With the switchback LED for the turnsignal/drl. They were working great. white light for DRL, and automatically switched to yellow for turnsignals. Well yesterday DRL switchbacks stopped activating, started acting weird. What wires can i check...

    Bearing hum?

    07 xlr, 68k. From about 45mph and up I get a low hum or growl, gets a little louder as I go faster, but never real loud. It gets louder when I do a left sweeper turn, and it goes away when I do a right sweeper. So it's something on the right side. Shop guessed wheel bearing, so we redid both...

    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👍

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.
