mystery plug

i too noticed this plug when i installed a pair of Hella driving lights today.. i assumed it was for a pair of factory driving lights, and i contemplated wiring them in that plug, but i didn't want to screw too much with the headlight relay.. i can't imagine our models would come with headlight wipe...

acondropenisia

that refers to the ariginal disease which affects people's limbs..it causes a dwarf-like affect and can result in the atrophy of muscles.. now extrapolate that to a twenty-something with his brand new suburban and no girl to place in the front seat... get it? it's okay.. not necessarily a newbie que...

okay, okay...

do what you do, aaaiiiight? i see the lack of aesthetics on a white car, but mine happens to be black.. either way.. yes, it does reduce the lighting slightly, but you make up for it with some hyper whites or some really obnoxious lighting setup that more than compensates.. you do what you do.. i ai...

Get Smoked Out.

STYLE ALERT!: The new clear is smoked out. everyone and their sister has clear corners on their cars. (and trucks and SUVs, for that matter. --even soccer moms!) So get yourself some lense paint and work carefully. Cover the entire corner lense in black, or whatever color you prefer, and be amazed a...

Thanks, appreciate the offer.. you work at griots? fun shop.. good times.. i still can't get the warning lights to turn off now. as long as i'm idling or accelerating, the 'brake', 'stop lamp' and battery light flash in my gauge pod. (which is still dark, by the way.) Do i have to reset my ECU? i st...

i thought i was clear enough...

maybe i wasn't clear enough when i posted that last question.. yes, it HAD occurred to me to check the dimmer, in fact, it was my first suspicion that it was somehow stuck in the low position, but that would mean it still could light up slightly.. as of now, i have no dash lighting whatsoever.. the ...

rebuilt alt

as far as i know, they replaced the diodes, which i was told were defective. The guy basically said "anything that's worn or needs replacing will get replaced." so that led to the diodes and the brushes, and i'm not sure what else.. all for $99.95.. $120 by the time i was done and gave gas...

i just replaced alt, and have yet to test it..

I'm pretty nervous about my new alt.. just had it rebuilt for half the price of a new one, but after installing it again, the battery and abs lights flickered when i hit the gas... maybe that was remedied by tensioning the alt belt.. havent seen the lights since. however, if it improves the hesitati...

While we're on the topic of dash and illumination, i was wondering if anyone had an idea about my dark gauges.. i know that the fuse for the gauges and the tails are the same, however, my tails work and my illumination is absolutely dark.. no dash lighting whatsoever.. the cruise and rear defrost li...
