Did some small touch mods last night that I really enjoyed.

Red ignition button




and LED foglights. Bought some cheaper bulbs on amazon and they fit great, color matches great, and do not throw a code . However, they do not light up the ground at all. Very weak light output compared to the stock halogen bulbs. Anyone else experience this ?

do you guys know if the bulbs for both the MSPORT and Non M like mine are the same? i don't mind the little output as i'm looking to use these for just looks. nothing worse than the hyper white we get with our headlights than you flick on your fogs and you get the ugly halogen color white something i've been meaning to do but never got around to it

I wish... Emergency double bypass. My (new) cardiologist said I was literally "dead man walking" and there's no reason I should be alive. He said my shoulder surgery should have killed me. I had 100% blockage in my left descending artery; the Widow Maker!

For those interested here's my miraculous story!

no bad at all. I did it with a shorty phillips screwdriver and it took me about 30 min.

It would be much faster if you jacked your car up and did with a power drill.

Only thing to keep an eye on is that the piece sits completely flat against your skirt. I had a "false positive" on one side where the screws were tight but the extension piece was about 1/8" gap away from the skirt. Just had to push up the extension and tighten up the screws and problem fixed.
