What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0



Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Sold the GTP...., kinda sad. Oh, well, it was time to part ways before my investment in her got too bad. Worked on the '04 some more, hoping to get it painted this week so I can drive it...

Ha-ha. I hear them all the time at home, but this was the first one I was able to see.

For on/off/on you'd probably need a double pole/double throw switch..

Correct, or single pole/double throw. I wanted SPDT, but could only find DPDT. Good news though, I got them working. Found a bad connection, so re-did that and the lights work as I wanted them to.

And just to make sure that I don't get a head with the "to Do" list, when I got back home tonight the rear speakers started going in and out. Nice!

Nice, both fronts go on and off on my 02, and one rear is fuzzy sounding at low volumes on my 06

Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

got retrofits adjusted. so i can get them sold. anyone have an issue with their driver side head light being too low even adjusted all the way up? i got creative with tweaking the car side brackets but it just seems odd to me that it is much lower than the passenger side.

Has to do with whoever mounted the projectors in the housings.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

no sir. i am talking the mounting itself to the car. had trouble with just stock replacement lights before as well. beginning to think this car got hit in the left front.......
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Oh, mine is all screwy too on that side but my adjustment isn't bad. I had to space the bracket from the core support with a thick washer to get it to line up better. No idea why its like that.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

did something similar to mine. i tweaked the car side mount and added washers. got the cut off where it should be from what i can tell. i did not want to cut any more off the shroud to move the projector up as it was getting thin already. good to know mines not the only one.
 


Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Look at my pic above. Drivers side has more gap, yet beam on road is perfect.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Oh. LOL

Our lights suck for this. I hate how my corner light push down when installed.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

I do have two 1/16" shims in the outer bolts of the headlights to bring the outer part of the light down. Plan on adding a few more.

Type U? You mean the XB LED's that i just bought? If so, they are in the rather large pile of things to do. Probably be a few months before I get to them.
