That blows wang dude.

Received my new radiator, o-rings, water pump, etc. to fix a small coolant leak from the short pipe to the water pump. Radiator is preventative since I just ticked over 100k miles and had to do a coolant change anyway... Hoses have all been done.

Will be doing the changeout this weekend if things go according to plan (do they ever?).

sorry to hear brother

at least one of your headlights seems to be in good condition

the outer plastic of mine is all scratched on my driver side from letting someone try to polish them fml

no way really to fix that issue other than buy a whole new headlight

As a replacement. The original one has dead pixel in the center and it's spreading rapidly.

Did you bake open the lights or send them out for install first time?

3M kit I believe so probably used the drill bit and applied too much pressure to the headlight, think I found a seller on here that will give me a good deal on a pair of OEM 2005 heads

I brought them to a retrofitter and supplied the rings - he was also upgrading the xenon projectors on mine so I had him do the rings while they were open (the lights originally came with CCFL's)

Is it possible some solder joints broke on the rings?

What is the link to those rings again? I haven't made any moves on my headlights yet and need to assemble them eventually.
