Gentlemen, you can find pro or con for anything these days, it's mostly pseudoscience. With exception, i find it hard to believe TV programming can change moral fiber. The exception being exposure time.

When i was a kid, we got 3 channels, no phones, no internet blah blah.
Point is, we were bored and motivated to seek friendship and entertainment. Also, through parenting and this^ we were able to build character and stay somewhat fit.

What scares me is all the diversion from life kids live with and i think we all agree on that.

I've watched the late teen, early 20's labor market deteriorate to lazy, phone checking dead beats and i blame technology...

CARS - now that's a worthwhile diversion, seriously.

I hope everyone knows that my comment about old school cartoons being racist etc.
was a complete joke. I think the comment got lost in translation. Lol. I find it absurd that people focus energy on pointing out supposed discriminatory messages in every facet of our lives. I grew up watching the looney toons. I had many on vhs...... along with ALL of the 3 stooges
Okay. Sorry about the rant. No mas off topic!!

Scored some 06+ headlights for a great price. Unbelievable how much "newer" the car looks just by replacing the 04 lights.

Thanks. Was super easy since I already had the factory 04 hid lights. They have the same 8 pin connector that these bi xenons use. So just a matter of taking a few bolts off and swapping them over.

Any issues with the turn signal staying on since it doesn't sound like you had to cut the blue wire?

Finally got motivated and broken open the kit and started to map and mock up where all the piping goes.

Serriouslg Sasha's kit is bar none the easiest and best kit I've put together so far. The tape instructions was a life saver lol

Right and right... Thats my safety bungee the G35 hood learned that lesson the hard way, as did the windshield on that car.... I later backed into it with a tow truck making its fate as scrap metal even more obvious.




Safety first...

I replaced the drivers side manifold 02 sensor with one from the G35... I have new ones sitting in a box right in front of me why I didnt use them is beyond me... Im throwing the crappie code for running lean on that particular sensor so I'm hoping that it works and I can pass inspection by the end of the month.
