The legal limit in Washington is four, I got pulled over a year or so ago for having six lights on. I normally drive at night with my headlights and one set of 500s. When theres no other cars around I turn another set on that are aimed above the high beams. If I'm out in the hills I run with all the Hellas on, two sets of 500s and a set of 550s. If I'm running around in the daylight, I have the headlights on along with some Wal Mart rectuanglar lights in the front bumper. The ligths in the bumper don't do much of anything so I use them during the daylight hours. I save the fog lights for fog, rain, and snow.

Nice! That's where you learn how to drive and react to the car sliding around. That's the best way to do it.

Noticed the heater got cold when I was stopped at a light. Don't know what would cause that.

Oh, i had that issue. For me it was a radiator leak. I would fill up the tank, and it would be warm for a while, but then all the coolant would leak out.

After four years of driving, I got my first bird strike. Stupid thing flew out and hit the corner of the front bumper. Pretty sure I killed it. Nothing was broke from it so oh well, thats how it goes when driving. Edit, no more winter wheels and tires. Switched back to the Fozzy wheels since the roads are all clear now.

Got stuck trying to leave my house. Stupid heavy rain storm that rolled through like ten minutes before I tried to leave. Heavy rain doesn't mix well with slush and ice, especially when you just took the studded tires off. Luckily my uncle was home and pulled my out with his tractor.

Found out my car is more sensitive to low ground clearance issues.... such as large piles of snow. Guess it happened while driving around town this past week :(. Lets hope insurance can cover it, since that's the front bumper.

From my experience wiggling usually doesn't do it. They generally have never been removed before and are stuck in there pretty good. Get a thin flathead screw driver and use it to pry them out. Start by placing it under the injector connector elbow and once you get it tocome out a little you'll havr enough room to get in the sides and grab the lip to pop them out. Works every time.
