Took the OEM-amplifier (non-dsp) apart. It had some intermitted sound-loss but sorted now. Took me only an hour to do.

edit: Did not work for 100%, will search further before i buy a new unit. Thinking of a Dynavin orso.

Finally set out to find and repair the leak of windshield washer fluid caused when we removed the front bumper for the under ride protection install. Also in that install, I pulled the rt front bumper off a bit to aggressively and broke the plastic clips that pull it in to the body. Today was the day to replace them as well!

The mystery clip for headlight washers. This little horseshoe looking clamp holds the feeder tube from the tank to the front headlight washers. When removed, the clamp had backed out and the hoses were disconnected. One little clamp and we were done! No more errors!


This was one of the broken clips- Rt side, IIRC. Red arrows = bad. Green = good! The bumper is now nice and flush!

Ordered these headlight and tail light kits form ebay for $20 shipped. They still need a little stretching to fit perfect but it is not warm enough today to let the sun heat them up.

For the money they look pretty good. Sorry the X is dirty but it rained yesterday with 40 mph winds and she needs a good cleaning.

Take a look and see what you think.
