Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Drove it to town, no problems at all. Got done, and car wouldn't start, starts up and dies right away. Got it towed to the house about 25 miles away, and 130$ later..

Put gas de-icer stuff in the gas tank, got it started and running okay, put gas in. Drove it home, let it sit for about 20 minutes, went out and started it, and ses code was on for p0101, i deleted code, and now it wont start again. I think it needs another MAF in less than 10k miles, first one i put on was brand new ac delco. My life sucks today.

You have a 97-03 right? Check the wiring, I wouldn't expect an ac delco to fail that quick. Do you have an open cone filter or something that would mess up the sensor? Check intake tubing and filter seal, make sure no dirty air can bypass it.

Alright then I can do it lol. I'll probably order it soon. Maybe I should buy less expensive parts for fogs, or still go with trs and spend the $150?

I say stick with TRS, unless money is a big issue. You can always change bulbs and keep the TRS stuff if you change housings. The TRS stuff is top quality, so we'll worth it.

You mean 35 watt? I thought most preferred 35 for hids

I was thinking, since they're just fog lights I should buy a dependable cheaper set. I can spend the money but shouldn't, for trs.
 


Not sure on the melting part, i know I've seen people melt stock fogs with 35w HIDs. The actual headlight housings I don't think it would be a problem considering they won't get any direct heat because of the projector and the vents should take care of ths rest.
 
I never heard of 35 watts melting stock fogs. I could order 25 watt hids.

Ordered 25 watt hid's for fogs. Got the cheap ones, but says 2 year warranty so lets go lol. Worth a shot. They're by OPT7.

Drove the work truck about 525 miles today. I drove out to Byesville, OH, making a few stops along the way, then back to the shop. I loaded up again and headed to Lisbon, OH.

Too much effin driving.
 
I haven't washed mine in longer than I can remember.

I also changed the oil in both the Silverado and the F-250 this morning. I had to use my foot to break the drain plug loose and use an effin pipe wrench on the filter on the Ford because the last person/shop to change the oil cranked them b!tches on there.

You best check that out, cuz this is the first I heard.
>>>> a quick search says NO.
If it is offered as an option on there kits then it is a GO.....alas no go for mini H1, but is for mini D2S 3.0
That is the reason I went with the D2S 3.0.. I had 5fives and they were stadium bright. Ended up with 35 watt Densos .
I went thru three 5fives in three months and gave up. The Densos have been great and I didn't change anything with the wiring.
 


Just got done reading a thread in gpona and I kinda scared to ever ask a question in there... Haha. Doesn't feel as 'homey' as good ole gpf lol

Didn't you post up, at one time, some kind of how to on doing your hood mat that way. If not, can you send that info to me or send me some kind of write up on how to do that successfully?

Once we get to having a how to section I'll post that up and of course you would get credit for the information and pictures if you dont mind.

Or be lazy like me and use brake clean to clean off the oil and then put a dye in the oil to find a leak lol.
