Put gas de-icer stuff in the gas tank, got it started and running okay, put gas in. Drove it home, let it sit for about 20 minutes, went out and started it, and ses code was on for p0101, i deleted code, and now it wont start again. I think it needs another MAF in less than 10k miles, first one i put on was brand new ac delco. My life sucks today.

You have a 97-03 right? Check the wiring, I wouldn't expect an ac delco to fail that quick. Do you have an open cone filter or something that would mess up the sensor? Check intake tubing and filter seal, make sure no dirty air can bypass it.

I say stick with TRS, unless money is a big issue. You can always change bulbs and keep the TRS stuff if you change housings. The TRS stuff is top quality, so we'll worth it.

You mean 35 watt? I thought most preferred 35 for hids

I was thinking, since they're just fog lights I should buy a dependable cheaper set. I can spend the money but shouldn't, for trs.

Re: What did you do to your Car today?

No i would want the 50 or 55 whatever the rating is more maximum light output.

Re: What did you do to your Car today?

I heard 55 runs hotter more so than more light. Also heard 55 can melt housings. Could have been in fogs.

Re: What did you do to your Car today?

Not sure on the melting part, i know I've seen people melt stock fogs with 35w HIDs. The actual headlight housings I don't think it would be a problem considering they won't get any direct heat because of the projector and the vents should take care of ths rest.

Re: What did you do to your Car today?

I never heard of 35 watts melting stock fogs. I could order 25 watt hids.

Ordered 25 watt hid's for fogs. Got the cheap ones, but says 2 year warranty so lets go lol. Worth a shot. They're by OPT7.

Re: What did you do to your Car today?

I haven't washed mine in longer than I can remember.

I also changed the oil in both the Silverado and the F-250 this morning. I had to use my foot to break the drain plug loose and use an effin pipe wrench on the filter on the Ford because the last person/shop to change the oil cranked them b!tches on there.

You best check that out, cuz this is the first I heard.
>>>> a quick search says NO.
If it is offered as an option on there kits then it is a GO.....alas no go for mini H1, but is for mini D2S 3.0
That is the reason I went with the D2S 3.0.. I had 5fives and they were stadium bright. Ended up with 35 watt Densos .
I went thru three 5fives in three months and gave up. The Densos have been great and I didn't change anything with the wiring.

Once we get to having a how to section I'll post that up and of course you would get credit for the information and pictures if you dont mind.

Or be lazy like me and use brake clean to clean off the oil and then put a dye in the oil to find a leak lol.
