You can do it yourself. Make sure the bleeder will crack open first - then close it, remove CDV, rehook up line, crack open bleeder again, and let it drip away for a few.

Did this Monday, but replaced the engine inlet to water valve hose. Ordered some filters and new HID's, and will be doing those this weekend along with the 3M lens cleaner.

R&R'd my driver's side CV axle today and while I was at it had a new wheel bearing installed. Just as I did when my bearing went out on my passenger side, I removed the hub and took it and the new Timken bearing to a local shop to R&R for $65.

If I have some spare time the rest of this week I will R&R both my AC and Alternator/Accessory tensioners, idler pulley plus new belts. I'm upgrading the Alt/Acc to hydraulic.

Thorough detailing. Will snap some pictures after the sealant cured completely.

Replaced the air filter (it was horrifying), and the cabin air filter. Also pulled out the headlights so I can refinish them with the 3M kit and replace the HID's.

Lighting upgrade

Retrofitted Morimoto XB Type-N LED fog lights into my '05 face lift.
Surprised what little hacking was required to get these put in...

Installed Osram Night Breaker H1 bulbs into the high beams.

Ordered D2S Night Breakers for the xenon headlights as well.

Replaced the HID's with standard OSRAM 66240's. Also replaced turn signal bulbs and high beams.

The prior HID's I thought were dying as they were dim and a blue color. NOPE. Some stupid git PO had put crap 10000 K bulbs in there! WTH?! I have no words for what some people do...
