Installed new LED headlights a few months ago... after the gong show with 2 complete sets of HIDs giving me grief. Driver's side LED started int flickering 2 months ago..then stopped..works good now. Now the pass side low beam is DOA, only the pass side high beam works. I give up, switching back to oem halogens.

Oem upper foglamps were removed, when the 7 bar upper grille was installed. So installed these real small PIAA halogen foglamps inboard on the CDC lower spoiler. Pass side PIAA crapped out after 2 years. Then the driver's side PIAA crapped out a year later. I'm having no luck with any of the aftermarket lighting options.

Then to top it all off, one of my new LEDs ( eq of a 120w light) I use in the home for motion detector flood lamps...craps out after just 3 months ! What has lasted since 1998, is the 10 x original 130 V rated flood lamps. I have 5 x external fixtures, each with a pair of floodlamps. The 130 v rated units, when run on 120 V, are not as bright as a 120 v floodlamp, but they last forever.

Installed new expensive fixtures in both bathrooms last year, and the LED bulbs made for the retrofit will not fit.. they are too long...so went back to oem halogen bulbs.... and one of them just died. All this chinese junk is pure crap imo.

Copied TGR96 and installed the AM billet upper and lower grilles with relocated fogs behind.

Undecided whether I want to darken the shiny chromey bits on the emblem somehow or just leave it as-is.

It was Kim's car, not mine, but I had it hand washed, vacuumed, and quick waxed. It had just turned 1050 miles…

Failed NJ inspection because I apparently haven't driven it enough for stuff to read after Eric Swarr tuned it. I'd have been driving it more but dumb me I was thinking not having an inspection sticker would be a problem so I took it first chance I had to get inspected.
