    Car Cover Recommendations Wanted

    My XLR sits in the driveway and is exposed to sun, rain, snow, ice, tree sap, bird crap, etc. Thinking about investing in a cover that's easy to install and remove. Figured other XLR owners have already addressed this, so I'm looking for recommendations. Would be great to have some links to...

    DRL’s.

    Long tall sally's post above describes how to remove the headlight unit. The DRL/Turn signal bulb is originally a 3457A bulb. I replaced mine with Sylvania LED 3157A bulbs, which do cause hyperflash which doesn't bother me or the local police. Hyperflash when converting to LED's can be...

    DRL’s.

    This is what BobbyT told me, and it worked for me although I did not need to have a body shop remove the headlights. "I had the body shop remove the headlight assembles. My DRL’s were cracked, yellow and brittle. I removed the light sockets and was able to pop the drl lenses into the the main...

    DRL’s.

    Yesterday I did the same drl lens removal reported by BobbyT. I think it looks fine and others can now clearly see my daytime running lamps and turn signals. Took me about 45 minutes to do both sides.

    LED DRL's/Turn Signals

    I've read through the thread that discusses in great detail how to convert the incandescent 3757A bulbs to LED's. Sounds simple enough, but I'm curious about hyperflash. What are the downsides to allowing the turnsignals to hyperflash if you choose not to install the recommended resistance...

    Clean and wax recommendations needed

    I've owned my 2005 xlr for about 9 months now. Beginning to think I should have bought a car cover. My car sits in a driveway exposed to rain, snow, bird dirt, tree sap, pollen, etc. The horizontal surfaces have a fair amount of marks that don't come out with a good washing. What is the best...

    Door Chime Mystery

    The last few times I've opened the locked driver's door from the outside on my 2005 XLR, the chimes sounded continuously and the security light on the dash blinked. Similar to other cars when you open the door with the key still in the ignition, but clearly that is not the case. As soon as I...

    Flash to Pass Feature

    Thanks. I thought that might be the case, having read about the high/low beams being a mechanical "shutter" on the bulb which I can hear when I change from low to high, but figured it was worth asking in case something was not operating as intended.

    Flash to Pass Feature

    I'm new to the XLR community. Recently purchased a 2005. I noticed that in the daytime (with light switch in auto position), the flash to pass feature is inoperative. At night, when the headlights are on, the flash to pass feature works. Is this normal?
