Which Nittos did you go with?

I see you have the weathertechs. I find them hard to clean and that little low spot at the back corner next to the door sill is where the water drains off under acceleration, going up my driveway, or just because. Ugh.

Today I,

Installed new Depo housings with auto-level & v.2 LED's (got them from fishcake321 on eBay)
Installed a LH folding mirror motor cover (sourced this on eBay from Germany)
Cleaned the RH mirror auto-dip contacts

Nice to knock out little things!

Seriously?! No pictures?? Everybody should know by now I love pics, and something this major constitutes LOTS OF THEM!!! (i'M TALKING IN MY OUTDOORS VOICE!!!)

LOUD NOISES!!!

Ok, so before pic a little back story.... I bought Depo's with v.1 LED's from speedstersource.com aka fishcake321 on eBay in '09. A month ago (4/2015) one ring had half of the LED's go out. He said to send it back under warranty for repair. (5+ year warranty!!)

So I sent the Depo's back for LED repair, and UPS fucking destroyed the boxes. Insurance paid for a new set + Lamin-x 12mm clear film. Would buy from fishcake321 again and again.

I can't get a good far off pic, the LED's just wash out the lens or w/e and my cell camera isn't cooperating. BUT, here's one good pic from the v.1's It's an oldie but a goodie. ;)

THANKS! :thumbup:

Count on UPS, FEDEX (insert random delivery service here), to screw up time and again. A proven fact.

I've just looked back over some of your previous threads, looked at all your previous pics (I look at them from time to time :D), your SC setup makes me drool. I'm threatening to buy one as soon as I get another DD for my wife, so that my IS is more available for garage time...

Just read over your install of the PLX devices, makes my liver quiver just looking at that cutting. :yikes: Nonetheless, I'll be installing mine this summer when I have my cluster out for pixel repair.

Are the V.2 LEDs in your current headlights any different than the previous? Same color temp? Do they have a purplish tinge to them, same as the pictures?
