I've been able to cross off several things on the mod list this year and the solid bushings are coming up. Hope ya'll get those in without trouble.

Is anyone else doing the autoX on Saturday?

Eric, I think I'm going to do both this weekend. The only bad thing is that I'll be the only entrant in class Y. It's not as fun when I don't see my name on top of others in the same class.

I still can't find anyone with an 06+ who will let me test their lights.

Is there any chance one of you guys with an 06+ can just provide a little information?
The stock turn signal bulb in the 06+ headlights has two filaments. Can someone turn a turn signal on, and tell me if one or two of them turn on? Then, turn on your hazards, and tell me if one or both of them come on.

This information would really help. Or if I could simply see one in person.

I don't know how similar the FX lights are, but one guy noticed the turn signal had two filaments so he wired it up for both to come on, and ended up melting his housing.

Hah yeah that's an idiot idea. Each filament has a different resistance, different wattage draw, and therefore different power sources. From what I've seen so far, the 06+ Z's can detect if either filament is out separately.

I really appreciate it. Thank you.

That's really strange too. The thicker filament is a 28W and the thinner is a 8W. It makes sense that they would use the 8W alone for the hazard function to conserve battery life or something. But it's very strange that both light up under each function. That's ok. At least I know how the wiring should be.

No, it's not that I don't believe you. I am 100% sure that you are correct. I was simply explaining why it's uncommon.

I'm surprise you can't find anyone acree. We have a bunch of Z guys that don't frequent this lounge section as well. May be better to post in the main regional section see if you get any hits.
