    Same. I'd replace a few bulbs and test before continuing. And I think that's what went wrong. I'm pretty sure the circuit board made contact with bare metal of the stereo. Learning experience...

    Hmm well those bulbs are powered by the same circuit as the dash lights right? If everything else works, they should too. My bulbs were just old and had weak filaments

    Soldered several new bulbs into the GXP's stereo. None of the new bulbs work. Looks like I'll probably have to canibalize a stereo for a new circuit board.

    Where can I get LED bulbs for the rear license plate lights? Did a search on here, but didn't come up with much.

    What I bought.
    The cheap ones dont work for long, then they put on a light show of blinking randomly so everyone but you can see it.

    GXP is getting lighted rear window switches. I'll post pics when it gets a little darker out so you can see the light in the switch.

    Lighted RHR window switch. It's not a plug and play thing. I had to add some wiring so the bulb would have power.

    Hey scotty I got another raccoon. This one took out my foglight, pushed my lower grills in and ****ed with my headlight aiming. This one was huge and fast.

    you got some really dumb wild life out there.....

    i actually did something today. ever since the tranny install it developed a small exhaust leak, just enough to bother me. after watching cold exhaust leaking out of the cat back gasket, i got a new gasket and new ss bolts busted it open, both bolts broke too, not even 6 months old either.


    id say that was leaking a little bit. new one got rtv on both sides and bolted tight. the whole thing feels tighter, i had to pry the hangers back on, when i used bare hands to pull the pipe and slide it off the hook, so no more play now.

    Unfortunately all hitting the brakes did was lower the front end of the car way down. Me, I would have tried avoiding, but that's got risks too. Depending on how far you go with it.

    Swerving is way worse than braking. I'd rather brake and maybe dip and get a racoon, than brake and end up on my roof in a ditch or in the guard rails.

    Next time hit "Turbo Boost" ala Knight Rider, and just jump over it. That show was real? wasn't it?

    Jesus Russ not again. How many is that?

    You need to keep a kill count on your bumper, use gorilla tape hash marks. It will hold it together too.

    Rolled into work this am with the low fuel light on for 40 miles. Usually good for 50-60 miles I thought. I usually roll right into the gas station at that point and fill with never turning it off. Went to work today figuring I would get gas at lunch with a 10 mile cushion. Went out at lunch and it would not start. 🙁 had to walk across the street and get the red can of shame. Put in 1.5 gal and fired right up. Guess I will continue to go straight to the pump after running over 35 miles with the low fuel light on!
