Glad you got rid of that before it was too late! Why don't you like your fog light?

The magnet seems a lil extreme, the one i have only have a small but powerful magnet

ZGMF-X10A 08-01-2011 07:35 PM

yeah i am happy i got that. That would have been the worst oil change ever. I dont know why i dont like the fog light. It is really cool but i dont think it goes well with my color.

Wow! That looks like a heli-coil thread repair that's been stripped out. Did your stock drain plug thread back in right?

ZGMF-X10A 08-01-2011 09:47 PM

Yes it did. I was lucky

You cross threaded the bolt. Didn't you feel the excessive resistance when screwing it in? It should screw all the way in with just your fingers if its the correct thread size/diameter.

I will try this one. That JDM fire one looked cheap also.
