Re: Coolant Hose Broken and Overheating.

Update on this overheating journey/struggle. The cap I replaced failed again as I was driving to work the next morning. I now think the cap blowing out is the effect of a different problem.

Re: Coolant Hose Broken and Overheating.

My question is: Where does the coolant hose in the photo connect to or is it just a cap? The line in questi...

Re: Daytime LED Running Lights

The wiring mod I want to see is how to make the fog lights on all the time instead of only with the low beams. I think I have the following figured out based on the wiring diagrams: Just need to do some testing to confirm and I will follow up. - Run LED strip at all times the car is on. - Run Fog l...

After looking over the wiring diagrams, I think I have a solution to disable the high beam bulb DRL function while ke...
