Hey powers1 what is the difference between the two halos? I like the E46 shroud better, good work.

Thanks :thumbup:
Unlike Usa Depos,European depos have 5 to 6 T5 x2.3W lamps per light and are hardly visible in daylight.They also look like individual dots.I have converted mine to CCFL as per pic...(Not too sure I actually like them on the car ,especially the blacked out turn signal,so going to change it again :dunno:)

Ah I see. That is a great improvement. What don't you like about them aside from the turn signal?

Thanks :thumbup:
I prefer the look of LCIs too:thumbup:

Regarding pre fracelift serviceability ,we win some ,loose some!I just had to cut open 2 sets of July 2002 OE headlights,which throws out the window those who thought it was only after October 2002 :(
We need to look at the production date stamped on the clear lens,not on the headlight!

Briiiiighhhht eyes
 

Not all done today but the last 2 weekends.
headlight restore...which came out great.

I thought i did a great job(even if i do say so myself) on the front until I finished the rears :) I will do the fronts again now that I can see how good I can get them.

Through in some d2s night breakers, white 6k led halo..I've got some night breaker fogs to fit now.

also did a coolant flush(it was red coolant, halfrauds special :() now it G48, R&R the reservoir too.

also flush power steering and R&R'ed reservoir.

and also did the auxilary water pump which has made a noise for the last 2 years.:thumbup:

Lights are a huge improvement. This is something I must attack pretty soon too, as my fronts are a bit foggy.
Tell me please - how did you flush your power steering fluid? I think mine might be the original stuff and I would like to give it some fresh fluid if it's not too difficult.

very easy. DONT GET IT ON YOUR PAINT!!

Youtube it

BAV to the rescue!

Make sure you use the correct fluid. Mine was ATF dex 3(red)...some use CHF(green)

Okay - thanks for the link to the video. I watched and am still curious. Is there no way to access the filter within the reservoir and change or clean it, or do you have to buy a new reservoir?
Process is simply diluting the old fluid until you get mostly new, from what I can see. I've read that some members regularly use a turkey baster (to suck fluid out) and simply top up with fresh fluid, as a maintenance regime. I will admit that one of the hoses on my reservoir appears to be leaking slightly, so I should inspect it and may as well change the reservoir if that's the only way to do the filter, at the same time as putting on decent hose clamps/inspect hoses etc. Again - thanks for the info.

There is no way to clean the filter. It's not expensive here in the UK but I believe you Aussies get fleeced harden then we do.

My hoses were leaking too. I just used some new jubilee clamps. If the leak persist I will change the hoses...some people cut the swollen end off but I will just replace.

Okay, cheers for that. I think I'll remove the reservoir, inspect etc. I'll check out prices for a new one too. eBay is my only friend here at the moment and our dollar is pretty weak now, so that makes it even worse for us.
