Thus I only go out in the day timeusing natures HID
Your lights look greatLove seeing this thing in its natural habitat.
^also if you ever get the itch to upgrade to HID headlamp assemblies BostonMangler and I have both done that successfully on our 08s but it’s definitely not a cheap mod. I’m curious to know how much you’ve spent on your “cheap” build haha.
makes senseI should probably update the thread but all issues disappear once the DRL’s are turned off. I had to do it using tech stream but after the 08 model years I think you can turn them off from the center console which @Boston Mangler did.
I hated the high beam halogen DRL’w anyways. Now I get the accent lights only when I have the headlight in DRL mode. It’s awesome. I want your Middle East spec grill but they are really expensive from eBay.
I know that VCV Valve!!! I replaced that chasing a CEL a while back. Crusty looking line.

there's some way you can smoke test the evap stuff. I don't know how, but that would've been belching smoke for sure. Not bad at all for 298k. That's a solid run for most anything imo.guess as they age - they crack?
Had to chase mine for a few weeks
not bad for first time at 298k miles I suppose

Where is this? Want to check mine as well.
Pull your engine cover off. It’s very close to the oil cap towards the middle/driver side.Where is this? Want to check mine as well.
