It was yesterday, but I had the tires rotated and road balanced, tried to recover the socket it ate.. Yeah that didn't happen.

I'm so glad to be living in a state that doesn't require a front plate now.
That was always annoying, been pulled over for it a few times in the past.

Went to a couple shops, tried to get them to aim newly installed headlights. Either the tech that doesn't wasn't there, or they don't do it. One shop I called nearly laughed and said he didn't think ANYONE did that anymore.

Spent 3 hours cleaning the car inside and out.

**dmahlikGT** · 09-07-2013

Replaced one my headlight bulbs since for 2 days my car had one blind eye,topped off my coolant and drove to work. Before i left the house i pushed my passenger seat all the way forward and laid it flat and also laid my rear seats down flat and tell me how my car felt a bit more torquey from a stop.hmm

I fixed them for now myself. Georgia doesn't require vehicle inspections, only emissions tests. So no brake/light inspection stations. I know body shops do it, but none of them are open on Saturday. I don't really drive it at night right now anyway, so it's not a big deal until I can take it somewhere.

Aiming headlights isn't all that hard. Get a full sized piece of plywood from the hardware store, tape it off in quarters, and set it straight and square in front of the car (about ten feet in front). Now find the adjustment screws for the headlights. Use the tape on the plywood to give you a point of reference, make sure the lights are straight and a bit down to hit the road surface. How far in front they hit the road surface is personal choice.

I usually end up re-aiming my headlights on new (to me, anyway) cars because the stock aim is a bit too high, especially with the high beams. Your headlights should not blind the oncoming driver, especially if you are running the HID setup.

Remember that when driving at night, you should always drive within your headlights. Meaning slow it down a bit. Night driving is (obviously) more dangerous than daytime driving since you cannot see as far down the road, or along the sides of the road. Trust me, I live in the deer road kill capital of the nation....watching my speed on dark roads has kept various front ends immaculate and insurance premiums reasonable. Or at least they would be if I could get the local state troopers to understand those "speed limit" signs are guidelines for people who can't drive...and not applicable to skilled individuals such as meself....
