btw, not sure if you saw my quick post yesterday, but my LED's in the maplights do not illuminate while driving. at least not that i could see. :D

Yep, off-road. It's dirt track, indoors. :tup: No blazing hot temps in Summer and no freezing cold temps in Winter. :happydance:



I missed that post about the map lights. Must be nice! I don't know if I want to go as far as replacing mine, because I already spent the money on these. We'll see, I need to try my "tint" idea first.

The glow isn't bad, it's not like it lights up anything - the amber/orange effect LED up there still illuminates the gearshift, etc. like it did before.

It's just that I can see the map lights glowing. :icon14:

Did you happen to see a trail of fire travel through the wall/ceiling when you did this? If so, follow the trail to the panel or where ever it stops. :tup:

:tup: yeah, I always forget about the crop factor then when I need to blow them up I end up cropping out important stuffs. Note to Pint: give yourself room around the outside edge to blow them up and not lose pertinent details! LOL

yah, the maplight 'mod' turned out real good for me so im :excited:

:tup: np, msbc. :tup:

i have templates of info in my head that i just copy/paste. :icon17:

if you plan on doing detailing as a hobby, those random orbitals are very handy tools. especially for doing your scuffs, the 3" orbital would be perfect... not that you can't do it by hand. just faster.

LMBmikeZ 05-20-2013 11:28 AM

:iagree: a good RO polisher will pay for itself just in the time it saves you!

I have both rotary and RO and I use my RO all the time, rotary is only for the heavy stuff or if doing a full out 3 stage polish :tup:

It depends, it can get down to the mid-high 30's. Usually sustains around low 40's-50's.

Which I know isn't cold to most, but when the prior week it was 85, then all of the sudden it's 50, your body goes into shock. :eek: :icon17:

That and the Summer heat thins out your blood, a lot.



As for the map light, if I put it on the inside, it may darken it a little bit, but if I put it on the outside it may blend the map lights into the plastic housing a bit - could look pretty neat.

LMBmikeZ 05-20-2013 11:36 AM
